A Potholder So Cute, It Gets Its Own Story

You've gotta be really cute – ridiculously good looking – to get your own story here at The Hazel Bloom. Yup. I'm strict around here, dangit, and I run this thing with an iron eye…

Oh, okay, fine… those of you who have visited this blog once or twice know that's a big fat lie.

But today? I'm not joshing. We're talking cute. Really, really cute.

I mean, yeah, it's just a potholder. And speaking for myself, I had no idea until yesterday at about 5:50 p.m. just how cute a potholder could be. 

But when my guy and I walked into Paper Source (looking for, you know, paper stuff), there it sat in a basket, with a soft light shining on it, and I swear I heard angels sing.

Completely cute, right?

Okay, I know this picture is boring and quite possibly does not convey the sheer cuteness here. In fact, it kind of sucks. Today I learned that taking an exciting picture of a potholder, even a ridiculously good looking one, is HARD. Which is kind of obvious, I guess, now that I think about it.

So I enlisted my trusty hand model (sensing a bit of a Zoolander theme? I friggin' worship that movie, man).

Unfortunately, this particular hand model found the puppet-like qualities of the potholder too hard to resist.

(Thanks to my guy for trying!)

But anyway, I think you can probably see – it's cute.

It's got whimsical little owls, one or two with chartreuse eyes. Whimper!

Kitsch*n Glam makes them, and you can bet I'm thoroughly perusing their site after I click "Publish" on this thing.
