FFF Challenge - Lip SMACKERS!

Amelia has issued her new Fashion Forward Friday Challenge this week - Lip SMACKERS! :o) The challenge is to show off my kisser(teehee) and blog about my fave lip color.

My fave lip color/gloss that I have in my bag is Burts Bee's Raisin Lip Shimmer. I love these, not only because they're all natural and good for you, but they taste and feel sooo wonderful! It seriously feels like a mini spa treatment for your lips every time you put it on. And you can put it on over & over & over...



Up next, this gloss in my bag is purely sweet indulgence on my part. I have the Creme Brulee flavor Tutti Dolci lip gloss from Bath & Body Works(they don't appear to sell these anymore). It's shimmery on and tastes soooo yummy BUT...get this...your NOT supposed to eat it! It even has a warning on the back of the tube. Sheesh! So why do they make it taste so darn good then?!!



And last but not least, "good ole" flavored Chapstick. I have the classic cherry flavor right now and keep it in my bathroom.

Mmmmm, I'm hungry now! I think I'm gonna go have a bowl of ice cream before bed. :D

My 1st Treasury!

Yayy! I made my 1st ETSY Treasury! :o) Granted I asked to be in it and it will change in a few hours but.....yayyy I'm in my 1st ETSY Treasury! teehee. :o)

More Bird Finds Monday

Ok I took the weekend off. teehee. :o) So here are more bird finds including owls; thank you Erin for the suggestion! ;o) I did a search for owls and they are truly everywhere, but let's start with birds shall we...

I love this pillow by joom on ETSY. She has alot of hip bird-themed goodies and it was hard picking a fave.



Here's a gorgeous custom boutique girls outfit made by April of allforthekidds on eBay.



Kristin of spirited*style has listed another Tweet Tweet Happy Hobo on eBay. It's similar to the one I purchased and blogged about last month. I use mine all the time! :o)



I bought 2 of these sweet bird shirts for the girls(for next summer) at Old Navy. They were on sale and I just couldn't pass them up.




And now for the owls...

How darn cute is this owl bag?! Tinkybelle has 3 shops on ETSY but Hoooooooot is definitely my favorite.



Check out this "funky" custom boutique girls outfit made by Angie of that*funky*boutique on eBay. The auction ends soon!



There are lots of hair pretties with owls, especially on ETSY, but I'll just post one. These are owl fabric-covered button bobby pins made by Sarah of SweetSparrow on ETSY.



Amber of cherry*tea on eBay just listed this fun owl backpack. What a unique look for back to school!



And last but certainly not least, here's an adorable soldered/fabric owl bracelet by Erin herself(thevintagepearl on both ETSY & eBay). :o)




So with all these birds on the brain I was thinking about peacocks. Ya know they're really beautiful birds! Anyone up for making peacocks the next big bird trend....

Fabulous "Bird" Finds Friday

Yup, I'm finally posting my favorite bird finds. Sorry about the wait. :oP

So my guess is most of you have noticed a lot of bird-themed items have become popular lately including, fabric, jewelry, clothing, etc. Well, I have definitely been drawn to birds lately myself. I find I'm faving bird-themed items on ETSY alot. Sooo, here are some of my fave bird things on ETSY & eBay.
I received my bird sunhat from Tara on eBay and I really love it! It keeps me so much cooler out in this TX heat than I realized it would. I guess I need to wear hats more often. :oP I've already gotten a number of compliments on it.



I purchased this sweet sweet bird doorhanger for the twins room from Hazel of BlossomHill on ETSY. Isn't it precious? :o)



I have completely fallen in love with this vintage-style art nouveau necklace by Jody of 1ofmykind on ETSY and am waiting until it gets listed again and I have more "me money". All of her jewelry is amazing but I'm just drawn to this one for some reason. It's gorgeous!!



I just found this adorable bird stuffie by cornflakegirl on ETSY today actually. Sooo darn cute don't you think?



Take a look at these great bird coasters from P.D.A. Collection on ETSY.




Ok so stay tuned for Part 2 of fabulous bird finds, hopefully tomorrow. :o)

Tuesday Treasures

So I signed up for my first swap on Swap-Bot a few weeks ago. Anyone else done swaps on this site?? The 1st swap I joined was a bead swap...of course! hehe. Basically it was a destash swap where we exchange beads we already have on hand.
I had 2 partners I sent beads to and I received 2. I waited for the 2nd to arrive(yesterday) before posting the pics here. Soooo...here they are.

The 1st was from "Nana in Paris"(France that is). Yup, my first came all the way from France. How exciting! :o) Here's a pic:




My 2nd was from "BethAnne" who also has a blog. Here's a pic:




Most of these beads I can't use for any jewelry that I sell but the plastic and vintage pearl beads I can use in some costume jewelry for the girls so that will be fun!
Unfortunately I didn't take pics of the "good mail" I sent to my partners but I'm hoping they'll post pics when they receive them. I sent the beads inside colored tissue paper in round aluminum tins decorated with ric-rac, stickers and leaf-shaped tags. It was so much fun! I really hope my partners enjoy their packages as much as I enjoyed putting them together. :o)

I signed up for my 2nd swap today called "Just Stuff". teehee. Should be fun! :o)

I listed an autumn-themed bracelet yesterday for the ALTB Fall Harvest launch. I ws a little late listing but better late than never, right?



I'll be listing more jewelry either tonight or tomorrow on eBay.
I also listed a vintage pewter lion pendant necklace on ETSY.




I know I promised a post about bird finds last week but I think I'll save that for Friday. ;o)
