Birthday Treats ^_^

I had a totally laid back and easy birthday, and it was just perfect.  ^_^

I treated myself to these these lovelies that were on super sale at a steal price of $5...fine Italian vintage leather shoes....DYING to try them with some flare pants I am working on refitting.  Check out Honey Comb Bridal on Etsy!

I got a Kohl's gift card also, and so I decided that Runa and I would make that trek today and see what we could see.  I usually have success with their clearance shoe section.  I scored these Vera Wang wedges over Christmas one year, the last pair in my size!!

While I was looking for me I came across these beauties, which are the shorter version of a shoe I own.  Basically the millionth knock off of the original Chloe Sevigny bootie that SLAUGHTERED the heart of any girl with a lick of taste.  My mom had said how much she liked them twice so at a fraction of the original retail tag of over $70, I couldn't resist picking them up for her at $14.99

Found these for myself, and (this goes for all the shoe shots) I think they are more attractive shoes in person.  Also $14.99 marked down from over $70.  ^_^  Saved over $120 by shopping the sale with a gift card!!  Yay for thrifty spending!!

I also bought myself a new glass sculpture, and am currently hunting the proper plants to go in it.  ^_^  I picked up hair color for 5 different people today!!  Feel so excited to be partially back to life as usual.  Lots of stuff going on in our busy little life. 

Tomorrow my husband and I are going to get matching nautilus shell tattoos.  I have a plan for the matching one later...when I have more money and a solid drawing/ideas.  That's at 1 pm tomorrow with Visual Addiction in Carlisle, PA.

Earring Cards

The blond is actually one I made from a caricature of a friend of mine ^_^

I am working on a huge Etsy store update!

A few years back I was working with a partner who created jewelry. We had a very small business called Kill Betty, Inc. which focused on handmade art for a slightly more adventurous type of girl.

The business didn't ever really get off the ground, but I kept the files for these cards. Then after a total nesting frenzy the other night, I decided to dig them up, print them out, and use them to make all my rad vintage earrings sparkle and shine their way into new homes ^_^

Besides these, I am going to be listing some vintage clothing items, hand made snood/eternity scarves, house hold rags in pretty colors, and anything else I can make with my hands. I was also thinking on offering the earring cards as supplies on Etsy as well. I feel the need to draw up a few new ones too...!

I'll have to upload a few more from the ol' KBI days soon too ^_^ Lots of edgy pin up girls and wild colored hair.

Coastal Scents

I recently worked with a make up artist in Baltimore who had this huge palette of highly pigmented lip colors. She said it was super cheap, and so worth it to check out so just htis evening I looked it up and purchased one.

66 color lip palette!

Even with shipping you JUST CANNOT beat the price! As always I will write up a full review when I receive the palette!

Reef Botanicals

I found this company on Live Journal in a group dedicated to natural remedies and every day things called "apothecarium". I decided to try this shampoo soap they make, of which they are running a contest for the name!

Reef Botanicals

Natural Soap with name contest

I also ordered this lavender shave soap, and this Hair Dew shampoo soap. I am excited to try these as I am constantly in search of a good natural product to deal with my rather annoying dandruff issue. They have reasonable prices, much like those of Lush soap, and once I get them in the mail I will write up a full review for all of you to enjoy......all 1 of you. ha ha...*le sigh*
