pro-bacterial soap & a Poe clothespin



Some interesting etsy shops found this week...
cleanerscience makes soap modeled after petri dish samples of various bacteria. I love the rubber gloves in the photos, and the fact that she shows a photo of her bacterial inspiration.
UneekDollDesigns makes the strangest little dolls out of clothespins, such as the one of Edgar Allen Poe above. I was baffled by one pictured on her Twitter page, I thought it was a young Abe Lincoln, but couldn't figure out why he was holding a bongo drum. Then the association of the red-headed clothespin in the 50's dress pictured nearby clued me in that it was Desi Arnaz. Duh. In my defense, I'm sure I could tell the difference from a 1850 and a 1950 suit if it wasn't clothespin-sized.
