Tricks But Mostly Treats

A post wherein the Good Girl juggles
2 jobs, a holiday, a spooky Vampire & finally has time to blog!

First...the treats!

I had thee most productive Saturday! Spending the whole day in the studio is leading up to a huge shop update! I've slowly been popping these pretties in the shop...

~Key to My Heart, the anti-backstabber~

~Web of Lies No5~

Lots more to come ( I popped some earrings in there too!) but the trick part of this whole game of life is balancing work & play...namely The Boy!! We managed to sneak in a trip to a Halloween party & a bit of Trick or Treating in this weekend :) The first party I ended up going as The Boys victim & I dressed up as Thee Good Girl for Halloween (mostly because I was too tired to redo all my face paint after the day of jewelry making!)!

~My Spoooky Vampire ~

So sad I didn't get a pic of me dressed up :( Hopefully I'll get some from someone at the party.

Did you birds enjoy your Holiday weekend?
Are you loaded up on candy yet?? My butt is getting bigger just looking at all our loot...LOL!

Hope you have a great week!

Did you birds get lots of relaxing in during your long weekend?
The Boy went roller skating with some friends & we hit the pool twice. It may have been the last pool trip of the season, the water is already getting brrrrrrr!!

Ready for fall!!!
{wonders if it's too early to get out my sweaters & boots??}

On another businessy note
(why is that not a word?)
...

I had some time to properly photograph the new jewelry & popped it into the shop this morning!

The last Charmed Life convertible necklace/bracelet went so fast I made another & it's up grabs right here...
These new one's transform into a choker & a bracelet
or 3 bracelets!

I am in loooove with them
& need to make one for myself soon!

hmm....that may be the plan for this afternoon ;)

A Not So Rocky Start

Last week pretty much kicked my butt mentally & physically!!
Hmm...you may have been able to tell by the
onslaught of "Backstabbers" in the shop!
(ha-ha)


& the weekend brought a slew of "On The Rocks" necklaces
{le sigh}

But here it is Monday again & I am out of my funk
{fingers crossed}
& ready to take on this new week!!
Whoohooo!

~ Flowers for you this morning~

It is almost 9am & I have already accomplished tons
& (bonus) I slept like a baby last night :)

What do you birds have planned for this week?

I have a kick-off shindig for fashionSPARK
(check it out here if you're in Raleigh & want to meet up!)
If you're a fan of mine on Facebook you're already familiar with all craziness I went through last week trying to find music for the fashion show (which I did Friday night {phew}) & I finally got started on my collection for the show!!

Diva Rehab Collection: The beginnings....


I know...I'm such a tease!

I did finish the first piece & sketched out all my designs which I typically don't do!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

One last thing! I have a sale going on in my shop
http://goodgirlsstudio.com
(not my Etsy store!)
It started Friday as a celebration for finding my music but I decided to extend it until this Friday! Use coupon code: IMAGOODGIRL to receive 30% off your purchase!

You are the Bees Knees & I love love love that you stop by to visit!! Please do say hello :)

Jezabelle & Her Wandering Gypsies

I know, I know

....you birds are thinking I've lost my mind!
I hear you chattering...
"Who is this Good Girl who has suddenly Gone Bad!?!"
First a video/post with scantily clad models & then a post titled Jezabelle!!
teeheehe :)

Don't worry...

I'm still all good ;)
Soo good in fact, that I'm willing to share the locale of a treasure trove in Tampa! Jezabelle & Her Wandering Gypsies is a vintage lovers dream come true in the eclectic hub that is Ybor city!! They don't have a website (drat!) but if you are in town the adr. is
1527 E.7th ave*Historic Ybor City

For those of you that can't make it into the store
...here is a little tour...


They have a sister store across the street that houses their clothing & more jewelry!
La France...


& that brawl at Salvation Army I mentioned in the last post...let's just say one should not snatch things out of a good girls hand when she is still debating her purchase...'nuf said ;) !!

This is my score from the near smackdown
(hahaha)...



*bounty*

*chain & pearls galore*

*bangles galore*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

~Whew~
I finished the shop update!!
Well, at least as much as is going to happen until I drop off some jewelry at Revolver.

Here's a few pieces...

catch up my magazine reading
(drooling over fall clothing!!)

Good Girls Gone Bad ...

Hello my birds & happy Thursday!

(thursday already??how did that happen...sneaky little day!)

Time for Part No1 of the trip recap!!!

**Fashion show recap**

The State of Art fashion show was soo much fun! I got to accessorize my high school friend Vivian Fisk's eco-friendly clothing line Higher Ground Creations! There was a gallery full of amazing artwork, bodies being painted (ohh soo scandalous! hehehe) & bands playing, as well as other artist selling their wares. It was in the oldest cigar district in Tampa; Ybor city @ the Roosevelt Building which is being renovated in the hopes of being an entirely "green" building! Very very cool!

Ok, enough chit chat....how's about a video!!!!

...I may have gone a little deaf after 4 hrs of listening to bands!
{#sheeshI'mgettingold}

A few close ups....

~Pearls of Wisdom necklace~

(pre-show scandalousness in the window...meeeow!)

~Good Day Sunshine necklace~

~Kept necklace~

~Falling For You necklace~


**Trunk Show Recap**

So much fun hanging out with my friends from highs school & Tampa! My brother graciously let me use his penthouse for one the shows (which I think I only got pics from the one there, ooops!).

Glistening grapes, chocolate, stinky cheese
& champagne....OH MY!!

~Table scape~
(looove the lighting in this pic!)

~Barb & her Backstabber~

*Cheers*
(Ms.Gaw rocking out an "On The Rocks" necklace)

As you can see by the end of the night we had all gone quite "bad girl" indeed!!

***BwaHahahahahah***

Tampa thrifting adventures still to come...which may or may not involve a near smack down at Salvation Army, hahaha :)

I'm Ba'ack...

Hello my lovelies!
A quick post to let you birds know I am indeed back in Raleigh

When I Grow Up...

Happy Tuesday my lovelies! I'm feeling very lethargic this week, I think it may have something to do with trying to keep up with my Niece this weekend ;)

Highlights from our Girls Night:
I {heart} her!!

mmm...blueberry banana muffins! I'd share the recipe but I can't follow directions very well & combined about 3 different recipes depending on what ingredients I had on hand & then kept adding dashes of uncalled for spices ;) They were delish!!

We played Dress Up for hours!!

{gasp}

Sit'n pretty :)

There were no less than 4 wardrobe changes!!

I want to be her when/if I grow up :)

There will be
#bigsobbingIcant'catchmybreathtears
when she leaves next month :(
