Today's theme is based on my very own name, Hopeful Monsters.

Hopeful Monsters: [hohp-fuhl mon-ster] noun -
Creatures displaying novel, possibly fortuitous mutations or behaviors that may allow them to be more successful and survive better. These "monsters" are different, but hope to thrive because of their differences and become successful, happy monsters. -Origin 1933, in reference to evolutionary changes and biology.

In honor of this, I give you an assortment of goods relating to the world of evolutionary biology. (And all from Etsy this time!)
