skipping girl

i was thinking just the other day how i'm sick of girlie-cutsey (with an edge). like the cute/ugly soft toys everyone's making. and naive&winsome illustrations. it's too samey same. too much. good for a while but now something else needs to happen.
this was my thinking.
and then i was scanning through my favourites and a blog showed me an awesome book and a felt a little skip of delight. i might add it to the "buy me" category in my favourites.

besides, grumpy isn't a particularly nice way of being. follow your bliss i was told just this morning. helps keep grumpiness and other intolerance away.
& there's lots of good stuff to look at, i can just skip the crap.

here are some dutch treats
