I've been featured!

Today's feature is a wonderfully creepy collection by JaneElizabeths that plays out like a sinister Terry Gilliam movie. Basil and Paprika play a supporting role of Kitchen Antagonist. I just love love love it :)

I think they fit right in with this misfit crew :)  View it here.

JaneElizabeths shop is beautifully eclectic, mixing different styles of photography and lush canvas sachets filled with French lavender. I'm seriously in ♥ with those sachets. There's 5 different styles in her shop as I type this, each with a different, but equally lovely, artwork printed right onto the canvas. Go check her shop out and show some love!

Huzzah! My very first treasury feature (that wasn't made by me, hehe). It's wonderfully colorful and yet, flows well without being over the top. I just love it :) Check it out here.

AryalAmesJewelry is such a peach for including me. Definitely go check their shop out for sleek and elegant (and totally affordable!) handmade treasures ☺ Thanks so much Aryal!

New Treasury "The Shankill Butchers"

I decided my next treasury should go back to my love of the macabre. It probably won't make FP this time (I think I've been spoiled now), as my tastes for the darker side tend to turn people off, but I just can't help myself. There's some wonderfully dark things on Etsy and really, is there a better time of year to celebrate things like that? I worked pretty hard to tell a story with this one, hope you like it ☺

Front page!

I can't believe it! I knew that treasury was a gem when I made it, but Front Page! I'm so excited. Of course it would happen while I was asleep, lol. I wouldn't have known about it if I didn't get some lovely thank-you letters from the lovely sellers that had their feature snatched up. 8 things have already sold from that treasury! 8! If I wanted to replace them, I'd essentially be making a whole new treasury. There's still some very lovely things available, however, so click here to go and buy the treasury out :) I'm so proud of my fellow Etsians, and so happy that one of my treasuries was finally a hit. Now if only I could get a front page feature myself...

An Autumn Ensemble

After putting together a lovely treasury in ode to Autumn, I realized that one of the items I chose was most likely an OOAK (one of a kind). I wrestled with that for almost a full hour before deciding that if I didn't buy it, and someone else did and it disappeared forever, it would torment me for the rest of my life. For serious. The rest of my life I would awaken in cold sweat at night, crazed about my loss. So, even though I couldn't really afford it, and am by no means financially stable enough to be throwing monies around (oh Etsy, you're so evil! So deliciously, cake-batter ice-cream evil), I totally bought it.

 

Autumn Leaves 

Maybe it was the teddy bear in the picture with it, but this dress by idea2lifestyle over at Etsy made me swoon. All I could think about was how beautiful the color was, (and how awesome it would be with my new red hair), and how I could add a subtle little alice-in-wonderland look to my days without being overt about it. 

I also had a tough time not buying the rest of these beauties to form a complete outfit (paired with my gorgeous brown boots that I hope never die!). Tell me this isn't one of the coolest outfits for Autumn?
