Falling For Fall

I've completely & totally fallen for fall.

Smitten with the chilly breezes
& anxiously anticipating the leaves changing color
& falling ...crunching under my boot clad feet!
I am in love 110% with this
(my very most favorite)
season!
(as if you couldn't tell...hahaha)

This change in seasons has proven
most productive in the studio...
(I've even managed to pop most of these into the shop
so click on the links to get their details!)

Have you birds been rather productive this week as well?? I've heard snippets of your autumnal activities :) Do any of you have your pumpkins already? I bet some of you have your full fledged Halloween decor up already don't you!?! Come on admit it :)

Good Girls Don't Sleep

This weekend was jam packed with ...

*new necklaces

{The Good Life available here}

*a fashion show

{my very fashionable date for the fashion show :)}

*sushi with friends


*backstabbers


*visiting my gals


*did I mention new jewelry ;)

{she's right here}

*church

*dinner with my parents

*and errands galore
(why is it that I have to go to 3 stores to get everything I need on my shopping list only to get home & realize I forgot something random & important like TP!?! Am I the only one who does this??)

What were you birds up to this weekend??

PS: Hoping to put the new goodies in the shop by Tues.

Sweet September

Dear September,
Oh how you draw me in with your lure of hope & promise of fall. You suck me in with thoughts of cool breezes & leaves changing colors. Visions of romance by the fireplace warm my heart. You bring a rosy glow to my cheeks as I peruse fall catalogs with their cozy sweaters & comforting boots.

Please do us all a favor & live up to my expectations. This summer has been a let down & you don't have to do much to outshine it!

Love,
Thee Good Girl

I am sooo ready for fall! Aren't you??
Went to the flea market Sunday & it was actually bearable out which was a nice change!
&&&
While I was there I scored 2 vintage pocketknives for more Backstabbing & all the supplies I needed to finish my last look for the fashionSPARK fashion show! Whoohoo!
My last look for the show is about redemption
(full scoop coming later)

Backstabbers :)

Sorry I've been quite the sporadic blogger this summer! I promise to be a good girl (haha) & get back to my regular scheduled blogging :)

Well my birds I must run! I'm off for a fitting with Margo of Rocket Betty who is hopefully making me a fabulous dress to wear to the fashion show! {squeal} I cannot wait to see what she comes up with. I'm bringing my camera with me so I should be back with some fun studio shots from her place :)

Oh & before I forget, some of you have been asking about the convertible charm necklace/bracelets since they all got shipped off to a wholesale order. There is a new one in the shop * NOW* (as of 10 min. ago) that converts into 3 bracelets!!

& also I popped in this tragic tangle of lies
which may or may not be an ode to my ex-husband ;)

~Web of Lies~
...she had busted him once & for all. He was so tangled up in his web of deceit he couldn't even distinguish fact from fiction any more.

*MUUUUAH*

Don't Quit !!

Trudging through this most trying month...
I am coming through it
on the other majestic, most creative side!!

Don't Quit
~author unknown~

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;

When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;

When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;

And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.

So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit

It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

After playing with these 2 cameos for months now
They have both seemingly come together overnight!
& they are both unlike any of my previous collage necklaces!

Some finishing touches (they both still need their chains)
& I will hopefully pop them in the shop by tomorrow!

Dizzy Up The Girl

What's good, juicy & keeps tilting to the left??

Answer: Me {well, except for the juicy part perhaps ;) }

I have vertigo for the third time in my life.
Not sure if I've mentioned it here on le blog or not
but alas it is back!
{sad face}

{expletive}

Hmm...wondering if expletive is a bad word in and of itself !?! ;)

Trying to get in with a specialist so pray I can get in quickly please & that they can get me all straightened out & less slideways (that would be the best word to describe how I've been feeling!)!

In lieu of my symptom
(did you know vertigo is a symptom & not a disease or illness. It's actually caused by lots of other things, some scary & some not so scary, we won't dwell on those things!)
...let's dance it out to this happy twirly song ...



~the whirlpool image makes me giggle~
~*~*~*~**~*~*~

In between dizzy spells I did manage
to get a few new pretties in the shop!


~ Orange Crush~
...it started out as a crush & turned into an obsession!
Well, "they" did say orange was the new black!

~Gypsy in My Soul~
...She spread her wings & flew away,
leaving her past where it belonged
(available here)


Hoping to get the rest of the jewelry from the fashion show into the shop today! Wishing you all super productive days (or really lazy relaxing days if that is your desire!)

TTFN,
Hanna
