The Mother Load

Holy cow I hit the Mother Load of vintage jewelry!


I spent the weekend sorting through this....

~About 10 pounds worth of vintage goodness~

(eeek...devil bunny be gone!)

When my desk looks like this, I get a bit nutty!

(contemplating this crazy Mexican pendant)

(He's a bit terrifying, definitely a keeper!)

yeah, that's my grrr face...hahaha :)

Thankfully my life source was nearby...
AKA...Good & Plenty

(my solution to not having a supply of black jelly beans!)

Here have some...
They rather look like a handful of Prozac don't ya think ;)

I loooove licorice!!
It's definitely a love it or hate feeling towards them. I've never met anyone that didn't have a strong feeling one way or another.

~*~*~*~*~*~

What were you birds up to this weekend?
I watched Avatar (finally) & was really moved by it's beauty & the amazing imagination behind all the background & creatures! Should have seen it on the big screen! We watched up until the last big fight scene & The Boy looks over at me & goes "this movie is a little violent huh!" :) After watching 2hrs of fighting he decides it's a little violent...hahaha!

I managed to clear off the desk & was busy making jewelry into the wee hours of the morning last night so I predict a shop update in the very near future!

TaTa For Now...

Wrapped in Your Embrace

First & foremost my dearest birds...

A big Thank you for all your well wishes & lovely comments. I feel so blessed & cared for by you lovelies! & you know what they say...

"Friends are God's way of apologizing for family"
{author unknown}

...hahaha
(if you're reading this & your family...I'm just kidding)

~Wrapped in Your Embrace~

uh...what I meant to say is "Friends are family you get to choose" ...yes, that's it!

Update: Today I am feeling much better! I went to see an ENT Thurs. who is pretty darn sure I don't have an inner ear problem (which is what is usually the problem when people complain of vertigo).

So what does that mean???
...I'm special {but we already knew that ;) }
& for now, no one knows what's wrong.

Perhaps I'm really ditzy & not dizzy
& should dye my hair blond ;)
(no offense blondies, you're all highly intelligent!)
H A H A H A

{sigh}

...moving on...

I updated the shop with all the jewelry from the runway show!
Whohooo....very productive week over here in Good Girls Studio land!

like this...
(she's here)

I also created a new collection...

~vintage applique/trim galore~

None of it is in the shop yet but it will be sometime this weekend.
Most of it is already @ Revolver so if you're in Raleigh go see Liz & say "Hi" to my pretties :)

Doing a little jewelry shopping this weekend? Head on over to the Indie Fixx Galleria & grab my coupon code before you hit the shop!


Any big plans for the weekend? I have a coffee date this afternoon with some girlfriends & tomorrow The Boy & I are going bowling with some of his friends. I may have to throw in side of scavenging with my mom ;)

XoXo's,
Hanna
Thee Good Girl

Prima Donna

Introducing some Prima Donnas to the Good Girls' role call!

~Standing Ovation~
...one last dash on stage for curtain call.
Her cheeks flaming from all the applause.

~Curtain Call~
...she just knew all that applause was for her.
This was her finest ballet performance
Unfortunately it was also her last.

I don't think I'll be listing either of these ladies in the shop until after the RebusFest this weekend. If you'd like one, let me know & I'll set her aside for you.
&&&&&&&&

I also whipped up a new lariat ...

~The Key to the Vault~

She kept all her diamonds locked up...
The sole key like a noose hanging around her neck.

You can visit her over at Knockabout Gallery starting tomorrow.

I've tons more gals to show you but I haven't time to take their pictures yet

(& they are rather shy I think & so there is lots of cajoling to get them to sit still for a photo!)

I did manage to squeeze in a small Vintage shop update & there are a few more goodies on their way over there this evening as well. I can't wait to see who snatched these up! What a find! Vintage YSL !!! Yippeeee :)

Hope you birds are having a lovely week thus far!
Tootles,
Johanna
