Lady Luck Rules OK - London, United Kingdom

I love Lady Luck Rules OK for the fantastic, chunky, nostalgic baubles. Plus, they've got a sweet website, and tons of items to browse.

The "Super-Duper Charm Bracelet" from the "Rock 'n' Roll Charm School" collection (yes, it was inspired by the similarly-titled Ramones movie) holds 46 charms on it's stainless steel bracelet, and stretches to fit all sizes.

The "Gumball Goodies - Crazy Crayon Special" (also from the "Rock 'n' Roll Charm School" collection)

Make Blondie proud in the "Sparkle Rocker - Debbie" brooch. The sequin bow is from the '80s, with a Lady Luck-added Debbie Harry pin.

And finally, the reason you come to this site in the first place:

Sew Dorky - Seattle, Washington

Every time I visit the SewDorky website, my mouth waters. There isn't a single handsewn felt donut that I wouldn't want to scarf down.

My favorite is the pink-frosted chocolate Neopolitan:

But I wouldn't mind having a go at the Pink Sprink or the Nutty Chocolate:

You can even get your donut iconized by purchasing one of their acrylic paintings:

The latest addition to the shop is the Sewdorky School of Dentistry, with a fine selection of gigantic teeth. There's the healthy Sweet Tooth, the "18kt" Pimp Tooth, and fuzzy, bloody, Monster Tooth.

Twinkie's Fridge - San Francisco, California

I'm a pretty savvy knitter, but I can't crochet my way out of a paper bag, so to say that I'm impressed by Stephanie's incredibly crocheted scarves at Twinkie's Fridge is a total understatement.

Stephanie turns mixed salads, cupcakes, and even those annoying dot candies that come on paper strips and always have a coating of paper on the back of them when you try to eat them, into fantastic scarves that look as edible as they look cozy.

Unfortunately, everything is sold out at her shop and she's backed up on commissions, but I guess that's just a testament to her quality of work. At least this is a heads up so that when she finally does get new items, you'll be the first to know.
