Halloween Fun

It's almost time for Halloween! This is the first year that my little guy "gets" it, so he picked out his own costume this year! My little man will be Batman, the main question is - will he actually wear the mask/hood? Time will tell...



There is still time to order some fun Halloween accessories from my shop, I have cute pendants and an adorable Halloween star baby blanket.


And wouldn't Abbie be an adorable Halloween surprise for the little ones (like my son) who don't eat candy?!?


Have a happy and safe Halloween!

Halloween Fun!

Halloween is just around the corner and the EtsyBloggers want to know the following:
1) Halloween is approaching! Do you do any kind of decorating for this spooky, fun holiday? If so, show us pictures!
2) Share your favorite Halloween memory from your childhood (it could be a costume, party, etc.).

Well, I don't have much to say on either topic, Halloween was never really big in my family. So, I don't have many childhood Halloween memories that are worth sharing. I also don't do much decorating, mostly because my dog is insane and tries to pull decorations off the walls and while its entertaining to watch, its pretty much a waste of time and money to hang up very much.

My son is just over 2 years old and I'd like to make sure that he has some awesome Halloween memories to share with his friends and family when he gets older. I am going to make an effort to make sure that he always enjoys the day. This year he's already fallen in love with a foam cowboy hat that he saw in the Disney Store. Its supposed to be Woody from Toy Story, but being that we've never seen the movie, he has no idea about that. However, I do believe that my little guy is going to be a cowboy this year, and of course, the cutest little cowboy you've ever laid your eyes on!

Here's to a happy Halloween!

Spooky Fun for Halloween

I was sitting here thinking, I feel like writing a blog, but what should I write about?? Do you ever feel that way? I'm almost positive I'm not the only one because otherwise there would be no such thing as the Etsybloggers Blog Carnival!! So, the topic this time around is this: Spooky: Tell a spooky story, real or made up. Or present a Halloween crafting project or something in your shop that will give us the creeps .

I don't really have a spooky story, I was never much into telling tall tales of ghosts, goblins, aliens, wolfman or whatnot. But, I did love to read them way back in my pre-teen years. I particularly enjoyed Christopher Pike and Lois Duncan.

Now though, there isn't much time for reading, although Halloween is still lots of fun! This skull necklace would be a great accent to any spooky costume:


And these cute purple spider earrings would be perfect for us who can't get dressed up in costume for work, but still like to show a little Halloween spirit!


Remember, you have to jump on these soon in order to be sure to get them in time for Halloween! And if you visit my shop between Friday night 10/24 and Saturday night 10/25, there won't be much there as I'll be packing up for the Handmade Faire.

Have a spooky day!

Last Chance for Halloween Earrings!

Wow! Who would have guessed that my Halloween earrings would be so popular?? Not I! The entire first set that I listed sold very quickly! I made a second set and this will be the last of them! So, quick! Grab them!



My bottle cap magnets are also flying off the proverbial shelves, surprisingly, there aren't many like mine on Etsy! I have three more sets drying at home and will list them over the weekend. In the meantime, take a looksie at the ones that are available: Bottle Cap Magnets.

Thanks to all my great customers!!
Happy Shopping!!
