Oh, Halloween...

For halloween, I am going to the boyfriend's place in DC and meeting up with my two old roommates/best friends, all named Rachel. That's right, we were the Rachels. This is us at the Spice Girls reunion tour a couple years ago in Boston. Thus the peace signs. You would NOT believe how much glitter was being worn in the audience! I'm on the left, Rachel M. in the middle, and Rachel J. on the right.

Anyway, we haven't been together for over year, so obviously we have to have fabulous halloween costumes. Since we are all pretty deep into Mad Men, we, like many other people I'm sure, are dressing up like the three main gals. Or at least planning on it.

Long story short, I found these amazing dresses on Etsy in Timeless Vintage Vixen's shop. They all scream Mad Men. But it will be a while until I can afford a $450 vintage dress...until then, a gal can dream.

And here.

And now, for the million dollar question, what/ who are you being for halloween? Peggy?

p.s- I'm writing a post for the first time in a cafe. I feel so hip. Midnight Train to Georgia is playing, and I just finished a small mint mocha, my current vice. They put a mint tea bag in it!!!!

New lovelies!

I worked like a little bee today putting together some new things. Take a peek!

And something fun for all hallow's eve!

New goodies

Pedal into my heart

I like bikes. I know, everyone does. Who doesn't like a bike? I'm different, because I don't like riding bikes. Actually, I'm sure there are lots of people who are like that too. I bought an adorable yellow old 60's one speed bike from a flea market once. I tried to ride it down my driveway and got too tired to ride back up. Needless to say, it hasn't made it to Boston yet. Sometimes I fantasize about riding it to a bakery in a red and white polka dot dress, a big straw hat on, and coming home with a baguette and some muffins in an equally adorable basket.

Obviously hasn't/will never happen.

so, instead I made the necklace pictured above. It is the sister necklace to this:

Which followed the original:


And that's the evolution of the bike.

Weiner Dog Necklace

I suddenly decided yesterday that i had to make a weiner dog necklace. After I made it, I realized I may have spelled weiner wrong...oops?

New Ring

Perhaps one of the largest rings I've ever made, this bold and daring piece is made from a triangular piece of amethyst agate.

And this is the newest addition to Bee Season! I decided to name this evolving honey related collection to one of my old favorite books by Myla Goldberg.

EmbroiderBling

For a while now I've been fantasizing about a series of things called EmbroiderBling. Finally, I finished one! I can't tell if it looks good or like a 4 year decided to do her own thing in art class. Thoughts?

New items

ch-ch-ch-check it out. new amber necklace and taxidermy eye pinky ring!

New side comb

How do you like my newest Dripping Honey necklace?

Foxes

I've really been digging foxes lately, and I feel they may just be the next owl. Here are a few of my favorite foxy things from Etsy. Know of any others? Leave a comment!

Edit: After perusing Etsy, I now realize that foxes are perhaps the hardest animal to depict in something like jewelry. How do you distinguish it from a cat, or a dog? Bravo to those who can make an obvious fox, in any medium!

Plum Pretty Sugar Blog!

Plum Pretty Sugar was kind enough to include my honey comb necklace on her blog! And what a beautiful blog it is. She also has a lovely Etsy shop where she sells the beautiful lounge wear that she creates. I am obsessed with this kimono, and perhaps when I save enough moolah, will get it!

More Sprouts!

Sprouts have been on the mind lately. This afternoon I finished up these little gems. I didn't have two matching cabochons the right size, but these little flat plastic beads fit into the settings just so, and I love how they look. Aren't they lovely?

Sprouts!

I just made two new necklaces. It was almost 90 degrees today. Flowers are on my mind!

Freckles

I was sitting in the car yesterday, with my foot up on the windshield (don't worry, I wasn't driving). And noticed a freckle on the side of my middle toe I had never seen before. It was a funny little moment.

Also, I figured out what Ben is getting me for my big 2-3 coming up in July!

I had emailed him a link to T R Mack's Etsy shop, saying that when we buy art, we should buy one of his paintings first. About 6 hours later, he cracked at dinner and spilled the beans.

I'm pretty sure it looks like the one above.
Which, incidentally, reminds me of freckles. And everything comes full circle.

Sale in the shop!

These two lovelies just went on sale in my Etsy. Hurray for spring!

Tilly the Tourist

Happy Birthday Tilly! Today Tilly the Tourist was welcomed into the Bullet Buddy family. Do you like her little camera?

Bees Knees!

I finally made my honey comb necklace!!
I'm rather pleased.

Once Upon a Flower

My newest creation is a big statement ring, made out of sterling silver. An eye catching flower stamped with the words Once Upon a Time, barely legible, give it a lovely, literary texture. I also like this photograph in black and white. Like it?

Spring time!

Warmth is coming! I just finished these two new pieces.
