I was cruising Etsy looking for monocles (more on that later) when I came across the shop for Fleathers. Besides having a name that is really to say- Fleather! Flither! Flather! Feather!- she makes and sells cut leather jewelry, mostly in the shape of feather. Leather feathers, if you will. Fleathers. In any case, some were pretty cute and you should check them out, BUT, it was the other line she was selling that really caught my eye. Rabid Fox is the side project, switching from leather to metals and animals instead of birds as inspiration. And really, really rad.

They seem pretty fun and pretty fierce at the same time, little golden and silver animals to pal around with. These were some of my favorites- the flying swiss cheese looking squirrels, some serious bunny love, a majestic unicorn, double knuckle (!!) jaguars who are about to make out or bite each others heads off, and roaring lions. Poke around a little more and you'll find alligator necklaces, baby bambis, horses, octopuses, and more friends from the animal kingdom. Oh yeah, hungry hippos are really sweet, too. Prices range from $40 to $275 depending on the metal used and custom sizes can be ordered. Silly, sweet, and unique. Loves.

Back to the monocles. Really want one. Why? I don't know, sometimes I just want to have a closer look. Pretending my bubble blower necklace is a monocle only slightly cuts the craving for an actual monocle. Here is a good one, though I may be looking for something a little more decorative. This is from Foundlings, also on Etsy, for about 20 smackers.

Similar to a monocle, but totally different, is this glass moustache. The whole ironic moustache thing is kind of played out, but I'm a sucker for a disguise on a chain. 30 buckaroos, at Jessica Landau's Etsy shop.
