THE GREAT UNKNOWN

When I was in college one of my favorite classes was MicroBiology, at least the lab part!

One of our assignments was to culture an unknown organism in a petri dish, growing it, nurturing it and identifying it....

Mine was....Serratia Marcescens...

         Soap Serratia Marcescens

When I saw this soap in CleanerScience I knew what my next Blog Article would be....and yes, I did accurately identify my unknown.

A search with the term microbiology brought up some great items, especially for anyone who loves Science labs....
Here are a few items that I found fun :)

                        Petri Dishes

     S. Pneumoniae Bacteria Necklace

             Microscope Slide Magnets

                  Petri Dish Pendant

                      Microbe T Shirt

               Mixed Microbes Ring

Gram Negative Pink Bacteria Necklace

Just click on the name under each photo to be taken to the item and the shop they can be found in....
If you are a lover of science or need to find the perfect gift for one...maybe something as unique as these items would work for you!

wild things

(if you click on the title it should play a song...I think)

VE and Pepper had such nice posts...I love both polka dots and sunflowers. I was going to try and follow their theme of fun cheery colorful things, but I got distracted. I saw these adorable little wild thing feet and well, it just took off from there.

Then I just had to do a search for all wild things and came up with some fun items.

 How cool is this pinata? I don't know that I could ever let a bunch of candy hungry kids go after it with a baseball bat though.

Of course you could always give this to your loved one

Everyone needs a little wild thing troll lurking in their home

 Not that one needs a ticket to be wild, but if you do...here are some

MoonFaces

 Cupcakes anyone? (sorry Peggy, you have to make your own...but I found some fun toppers for them) 

MoreThanaCupcake

 I can even get a wild thing glass case, for all my cheater glasses.

I hope you enjoyed the short little stroll on the wild side, and may you all have a little wildness in your days.

Decorate For Autumn with Sunflowers

I think sunflowers are beautiful and just add a cheerful color to any centerpiece or room. As we approach the Fall holidays, we begin looking for colors and arrangements that will add the warmth that make our homes warm and inviting. Thoughts turn to a fire in the fireplace, warm and snuggly blankets, hot chocolate, comfort food, raking leaves, and company. We want to avoid the "dreary" and utilize the strong colors of Fall, and the sunflower gives us this brightness.

Here are shops that offer sunflowers in a variety of ways.  Let your imagination think outside the box and I know you can come up with the most beautiful and unique decorations ever.
