Adding this to the crafty/makery/wedding dress collection... - "Baker Valentyn Shtefano and his bride Viktoriya show off her wedding gown, which Shtefano made out of flour, eggs, sugar and caramel in the western Ukrainian city of Uzhhorod in Aug. 27, 2006.

Things to do with old tea leaves...
Here's how to prepare recycled green tea leaves & a whole bunch of things to do with old tea leaves, my favorite... - "Pillows - Although it sounds weird at first, dried green tea leaves are an excellent option for an organic pillow. Not only soft when used in bulk, the faint aroma of the leaves is also a natural sleep enhancer. A pillow-sized mass of tea leaves will take you a while to collect, but, once you do, air out the pillow outside once a week to avoid mustiness." [via] - Link.

Skeleton fish soap
Hey remember that "Squidsoap" for kids that encouraged them to washing their hands? Here's another kid friendly soap, Skeleton fish! "The Skeleton Soap is a great toy to encourage young children to wash their hands. The Freddie Fish Skeleton Soap is made in the shape of a fish and washes away to reveal the skeleton. To avoid germs and bugs it's important for kids to learn to wash their hands, for example after playing in the garden or before they eat. With the Skeleton Soap there is an incentive for them to wash their hands. The more young children wash their hands, the quicker they will see the skeleton of Freddie the Fish." [via] - Link.
If you make soap, this wouldn't be a hard one to re-MAKE, just add plastic goodies or other forms inside the soap(s)
