Blessed by Gina

Gina of Lilly's of London*ish blessed me with a swap we did. I couldn't believe all of the wonderful goodies she sent

The coolest Evil Eye Bat Eye Elixir. I saw lots of eyes in there and am a little afraid that if I get a whiff, I might get the old stink eye LOL

She also loaded me up with tons of cool ephemera

but wait, there's more. She also included this cool bag:

What's in the bag? Glad you asked. It is full of even more wonderful goodies!

Thanks, Gina! You rock! Be sure to stop by her blog, it's a treat!

A rose by any other name

. . . would be MiaRosina!

It was such a pleasant surprise to see that Rosina had included one of my Edgar Allen Poe cemetery dirt bottles (Poe dirt) in her latest Treasury List. One of her lists has even made the front page of Etsy. How cool is that? You can read about the inspiration for her Treasury List here on her blog.

Rosina makes beautiful handsculted rose rings that she features in her Etsy shop. Be sure to check them out.

Thanks, Rosina!!

Nancy featured me!

After my whirlwind weekend, I finally got to sit down at my computer to do some catching up. A delightful surprise was awaiting me. Nancy featured one of my Artfire listings in her blog. Her blog is Vintage Visions by Nancy. It's full of eye candy - especially to those who like vintage and antiques.
I will be checking her blog often. Thanks, Nancy! :D

Witch Cabinet Card tags

I just came back in from my sweatshop (studio) where I made these Halloween tags. Adobe Photoshop allowed me to digitally alter these cabinet card images. My son will be so proud of me. I did these without his help. Photoshop is so complicated. As long as I can travel the same paths, I don't usually get lost. I've even learned to use overlays and effects.

Wow! 700!

I feel the LOVE! Today, I received my 700th heart on Etsy. Wow! 700! Who woulda thunk it? I appreciate each and every one of them. Thanks, Peeps!!

Cool gift ideas

I was out surfing around Artfire this morning and came across some unique gifts.

Unique gift #1 is a God Rock. What entrepreneurial spirit this couple has! This is a gift for someone who has everything.






Unique gift #2 is for your techo brat. I bet he doesn't have one of these!











Unique gift #3 is for your science fiction buff. I read this Ray Bradbury book while I was in high school.
















Unique gift #4 is for the business person. Completely adorable.
















Unique gift #5 is for your Goth friend. Enough said.

Grave robbing

Well, not really. I made up some art bottles last night. They were so fun to create! Creating things for Halloween is my favorite. Get to explore that dark side LOL!
