Slowly but surely, I predict cuckoo clocks are going to edge out birds as the trendy design darling. I have the Urban Outfitters one but I think I might add this card to it. Slap it in a frame without a cover…perfect toilette accessory!

aren’t cuckoo clocks like birds with a little somethin’ somethin’ extra? I disagree about them edging out birds: they include birds and are part of the bird trend. I’d say that I thought owls were going to edge out birds, but you understand why that is a faulty theory.
anyway. i have that keyboard vacuum; i ordered it from japan a few years ago. it’s so cute, but it sadly doesn’t really have enough suction to do the job, so I don’t think I’d recommend it. Just use the Dustbuster you probably already own, and a brush attachment. It’s a huge bummer, because the mini-kb-vac is just so ADORABLE.
