Uggghhh! I am sick sick sick! Mr. Smarty Pants got sick last week, we even took him to acute care on Sunday. The inlaws came to visit and we had to keep him away from papaw because he's very susceptible to infections. Then the girls got sick and, last but not least, me. Today has been the worst! Sucks too because Honey is never here due to his "lovely" job. I'm starting to really get this "single-mom-thing" down....except today. Uggghhh! I wasn't too bad the past few days, just really tired, but this afternoon.....ugghhhhh!
I'm feeling depressed too. :o( I feel like giving up the jewelry biz again. My jewelry just doesn't sell. Not even for charity! :o(
I have to give a huge thank you to Anjee of babybluebonnets(who won) and princess*bunny*02 for bidding on the Cafe Paris set. I thought it might go at $9.95 and I had really hoped to donate more to the charity so thank you very much gals!
Oh and yes I have tried ETSY, no luck there either. :o( It's probably just because I feel so "craptacular" but I've been feeling pretty discouraged lately. Hopefully I'll feel better soon.
Ok time to go lie down on the floor and let the girls whack me with their toys. I'm so pathetic today! *sigh*

Fabulous Charity Finds Friday
These next 2 months are all about charity & awareness!
On Monday the Boutique Angels Charity group on eBay began their 3rd quarter charity auctions and this time it is a BYOC(Bring Your Own Charity) event. I listed my 1st auction yesterday in support of The Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation and in honor of Scarlett who is a young lady who has Leukemia & Li Fraumeni Syndrome. Please check out Scarlett's blog to learn more about her.
I will be listing a few more auctions sometime this weekend. I do have the inlaws coming into town so if I'm not able to list more now then next week for sure. 100% of the profits go to Starlight Starbright.
Next week I will also be listing an auction in support of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. My mother passed away 2 years ago from Ovarian Cancer so this is near and dear to my heart.
Next month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the boutique eBay group Designing for a Cure BCA will be starting their annual charity auctions in honor of a little girl named Kayla who has stage 4-S neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer. Look for auctions to support the National Breast Cancer Foundations and CureSearch in honor of Kayla.
Here are a couple of auctions for the Boutique Angels. Pleae come take a look! We'll be listing next week as well.
This fall set by paintedbutterflystudio is sooo pretty and has handpainted accents! Wow!
Here's my own auction listing. It's not fall-themed but it is ohhh so pretty! This necklace & bracelet set called Cafe Paris was inspired by french cafe's.

Fabulous BOOtique Finds Saturday
So sorry for posting this on Saturday instead of Friday. Like I said, it's been one of those weeks! *sigh* Ok so here goes my Halloween Bootique finds!!
Btw, have I mentioned that I love anything vintage or vintage-inspired? You'll see that a lot of these picks have that feel to them whether intended or not. I also like fairies & flowers. :o)
The first finds are from eBay:
I adore these gorgeous pieces from sweetteaboutique. She has 3 auctions offering different items from this vintage inspired Halloween collection from applique to jewelry. LOVE it!
To me this seasonal tutu by creampuff*couture stands out among the rest because of the vintage-style rose & ribbon embellishment. Nicely done!
While flyfishing18flyfishing has many beautiful costumes, this one really stood out to me because of the pretty cream & white colors. Such a sweet fairy model too! :o)
Of course you have to have some bootiful hair accessories too right? Both ellasalley and chimankin have some sweet clippies that will complete that Halloween vintage look.
These next finds are from ETSY:
Here's something for mom by ericabstudios. Gotta love pony-o's!
How cute is this witch hat pin by VintagePoppy? Sooo cute!
I just love this pumpkin flower hat by lullabylamb and if I thought my girls would wear a hat I'd get 2! Maybe next year. Oh she's on eBay too. :o)
Lastly, if you haven't been to Micheals to check out their fall Halloween decor you need to go soon! Most of the new decor is vintage-inspired. I already bought a door hanger for my office/craft room but I'm definitely going back to get more.
Have a great weekend! It's starting to actually feel like fall may be just around the corner. :o)

Yup, Still Here!
Just a quick note to say....yup I'm still alive and kicking! :oP
This week has been filled with some family ups and downs and now I'll have to play some catchup with everything else. Can you believe I missed a Wordless Wednesday??
Anyhoo, I will resume tomorrow with Fabulous Finds Friday. I love Halloween so can't miss sharing some fun & spoooooky stuff I found!
This week was also supposed to be all about charities and cause awareness but that will have to wait until next week when I can devote more time to it. This weekend I'll be working on a number of designs to list for charity auctions this month. On Monday the 10th one of the eBay charity auction groups I'm in will start their annual auctions so I need to be ready! I'll try and post a Saturday Sneak Peak this weekend of some of the new designs. :o)
Btw, I'm listing clothing & baby gear resells from my kids closets so take a look at my auctions; you might see something you like!

Fabulous Euro Finds Friday
Today is all about Euro fashion! Yes I know summer is almost over, but I just love the bright Euro-inspired colors and wanted to highlight some great finds on both ETSY & eBay. Besides, it still feels like summer where we are and probably will until January or February. LOL! :o)
Here are some amazing Euro children's outfits and accessories for both child & adult I found on eBay.
This gorgeous set is by babyblubonnets. I think it has a faintly asian feel to it as well.
I found this fantastic hoodie set by gigglez-n-grinz. Euro-style hoodie sets are oh so hip right now!
Next up, gotta have a hip handbag right? So here is a fabulous Euro-inspired tote by prettyinpink320. Check out her scarves too.
On to ETSY where I found some lovely Euro accessories.
The first find is this really pretty pillow for a girls room made by vanessaandcompany.
I also adore these clippies made by adourcouture.
This Euro-colored flower by pamperingbeki would look great on a denim jacket or purse.
And last but not least is my very own Euro bling. A beautiful Swarovski crystal fringe bracelet made with those bright trademark Euro colors. These pictures really don't do it justice. Oh and it's on sale too so go check it out! :oP
Next week it will be all about Halloween BOOtique!! I just LOVE Halloween. This year will be so much fun since it's the first time my girls will go trick or treating! :o)
