ACCOUTREMENTS...


{a-koo-tra-ments}

Many of you who may know me well, know that I really like the word accoutrements. I am not sure that I ever really knew exactly what it meant, but I have often found use for it in various sentences, usually preceded by the word "miscellaneous" (again, not sure what it means other than miscellaneous "this and that")

"I love kitchen gadgets and all kinds of miscellaneous accoutrements"

'I picked up all sorts of trinkets and miscellaneous accoutrements at the Hobby Lobby"


You get the idea! Well I'll be darned if I didn't come across a snazzy little catalog (and accompanying website) FULL of miscellaneous "accoutrements"... Can you believe it?




SO... I thought I would share a few things that you can find from the one and only Accroutrements... Truly a little bit of "this and that"...
ENJOY!




The Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure
Complete with a wild look in her eyes and 6 fury felines!

Bacon & Eggs Bandaids
Because everyone loves greasy breakfast food plastered on your skin!


Gummy T-Bones
First it was worms...now it's red meat, Gotta love it! (Plastic tray is included, however not edible, darn)

The Smoking Monkey
"Each monkey comes with a pack of ten Li’l Smokes and has another one in his mouth, ready to light up and smoke. The smokes are actually non-toxic, unscented incense wrapped in paper." Whew! I am relieved to know that they aren't REAL cigarettes.


The Yodeling Pickle
At last the yodeling pickle that you've looked everywhere for.

The Jesus Action Figure AND The Jesus Action Figure DELUXE
Why would you want the regular Jesus when you could get the deluxe edition, complete with 5 loaves, two fishes and a pot to turn water into wine. (A little irreverent, I know...but I HAD to include it)

The OCD Action Figure
Yep...he's come with gloves and a face mask...I think he counts sidewalk cracks too.



The Armadillo Handbag
"Whether you take it to the opera or the zoo, you’re sure to be the envy of anyone who really likes armadillos." (and who doesn't LOVE armadillos?!?)

And last but not least of my favorite "accoutrement"...

The Corn Dog Air Freshener...
"Close your eyes and you can almost smell the sweet honey batter and the steaming, salty meat product nestled inside."

SERIOUSLY, people?? I can't believe this crap is real!

If you haven't had enough yet and still want to see more, check it out!
