Inspiration Fridays Part Deux: Favourite Awkward Animals

I'm inspired by even more things, so I decided to post two Inspiration Fridays posts this week.

This post is about some of my favourite animals.  Why are they my favourites?  Because they make no sense.  These animals don't seem like they could possibly be real but, they most certainly are.  This makes them extraordinarily loveable.  It's almost as if they are fantasy creatures, but they aren't.  

Yes, I'm perfectly aware that it's Saturday, but, this deer has fangs.

That, my friends, is a Chinese Water Deer.  They really do have fangs (tusks).

This is a Highland Cow.

This is an Angora Rabbit.

This is a Star-Nosed Mole.  Maybe the scariest of this bunch.

This is a Sun Bear.

This is a Kiwi.

These are two Bush Babies.

These are two Emperor Tamarins.

These are Narwhals.

This is a Coatimundi.

This is a most-adorable Red Panda.

When you are having a bad day, just remember- You might not be as cute as these animals, but you also are not as awkward.

Happy Saturday!

Toybox

Actually, this was a shelf full of toys, not a toy box.  But toy box sounds nicer, so title it is.  Toy Joy, in Austin, is one of the coolest stores that I have ever been to.  I mentioned it in a very early post on this blog- but it is worth mentioning  a million times.  Their selection of nifty things is kind of unparallelled.  And since I have determined that Austin is the capital of kitsch, this store completely makes sense.

I am a sucker for everything Asian at this point.  I don't know why, but asian toys, asian tv shows, asian food... they all make me really happy. All of these toys have a very asian feel to them, the art work is what I think of when I think of slightly vintage asian toys.  I think that's the idea though.  In any case, I am visually attracted to basically everything in this photograph.
