Happy Halloween! ( a day late.)

I bought a bag of these things..."fun sized." Oh my.

CLICK HERE to carve a virtual pumpkin. It is a lot cooler than it sounds.  :)

In life news, my fella came over last night and we watched "American Psycho" --(scary, for Halloween and all that.) 

It's a well-made movie...definitely creeped me out a LOT. But hey, I guess that's the idea. It made me want to order some really nice business cards. Ecru, with raised, sans-serif lettering in deep ochre.  :) heheehee

Got my party tomorrow. I think the Amy Winehouse idea is not going to work out. But, I've got the ole standby fairy wings! I know, it's an easy way out. But what can I say?

OOOhhh. And I need to make an Election Day post here pretty soon. I will be laying out the front page (at 2 in the morning most likely....ugh...) But, I choose not to talk politics in blog--land. But, if you know me, you know who I'm rooting for :)

No WAY!

Ok---so now I REALLY hope he doesn't read this!!!!! (you know who you are--stop reading NOW! :) hehe)

Anyways, I got FLOWERS!! WHAaattt?? How sweet is that?! I don't think I've ever gotten flowers aside from a birthday/anniversary/v-day event. And we watched "Goodwill Hunting" and we scavenged food from around town to eat here (sushi, burger, chicken pasta.) Just thought I would share!!

So, today I am all about etsy. Listing, crafting, etc. Plus, I got a pumpkin spice latte from the evil Starbucks today. It was just so good though.  

 Here's my favorite creation for the day. Not sure what to name it yet. It's kind of got an Asian vibe... hmmm.

OH! I got a great new album today, too. Ani DiFranco "Canon"--It's a 2-disc set, and it pretty much has all her hits, plus a few re-mixes, etc. Highly recommend it if you're an Ani fan.

Alright, I'm going to get some Panera for dinner and list more STUFF. :)

I would have posted items and blogged more, but ...

I would have posted items and blogged more, but ... I have a date!!! Actually, it's not a "date" date ... well, maybe it kind of is ... I don't know. We're watching a movie at my apartment. Any suggestions? So, the time I would be on Etsy today is now devoted to making myself look cute. And doing laundry!!! 

Sorry, Etsy, but a girl's gotta do....

EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!!

Guess what you guys?? My mom, who runs A Better Time on Etsy, just opened a new PLANT SHOP! It's called A Better Place. She sells seeds and goodies for all you gardeners out there :) She is the best grower I know, and a wealth of information!

OH--and p.s. She is recovering from surgery right now, so it would be SOOOO SWEET if everyone left her a message on her etsy shop to get well soon! :) I know she would love it!! And, you could probably buy something, too! :) heheheee

OK--so, Halloween.

Here's my pumpkin, first off. I think I may have gotten it a bit too early this year. It's starting to feel a lot less "firm...." So I may not carve it. It's too pretty, anyways!

And for costumes, I think I am settled on Amy Winehouse. I am going to have to get a beehive wig still...and lots of eyeliner...and draw tattoos all over my arms! :)

I am going to a party after work Friday--so I can't get into too much trouble after 11 p.m. haha

And--top secret--there is a boy in my life!! SHHH!! I hope he doesn't read this....but he makes me smile :)

Facts:
*** disclaimer!!*** I am so bad at this type of thing.. (low self-esteem anyone?)

4.) I always eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is usually a departure.

5.) I always carry a fairly complete medicine cabinet in my purse.

6.) I hold onto sentimental things--even things like tags from a gift bag.

7.) I enjoy British comedies on PBS.

Don't you want to see who was cool enough to respond?? Ahhhh--PEER PRESSURE!! :)

Let them eat cake.

I originally saw this Sofia Coppola "Maria Antoinette" a couple years ago and didn't really think much of it. But looking back now... WOW. It is chock full of inspiration!

Just thought I'd share.

In other news: Me and Amanda are crafting again this weekend! So look for a huge influx of new items early next week :)

Can I just say...

How cool is this??!!!?!?!

And yes, his eyes and tail do move. I know you all are totally jealous! :) hehehe 

My mom bought him at an auction to sell in her antiques booth--but I convinced her to sell it me instead!

Ah yes, life is good.

OH! And for all you following my blog, I think we have a positive I.D. for Mr. Moth thanks to Mr. Randall at work.

It's a Cecropia!
