More shoes!

I keep finding new things to blog about since having to recreate the whole thing from nothing.

Anyway… I love these shoes so much! There are many stores I check out all the time, but I’m partial to Alloy, Delia’s, and GoJane because they’re more in my price range. These are here and come in black, brown (pictured), and natural. GoJane actually sold out of most sizes a month or two ago, I’m glad they restocked.

Seeing red

Lately I have this ‘obsession’ with vintage and red shoes. (And Ebay of course.) So.. I was looking at Delia’s again. Lovely red flats there:

These are from Ebay, I love the bows with white polka dots. Gorgeous shoes.

I may just bid on the ebay shoes, but I can’t get over how much I love those Delia’s flats. The ones from Ebay have a lot more character though, I think. Oh, decisions.

Garden

Went outside to see how everything’s doing and thought I’d take a few pictures. A few weeks ago we made raised plant beds (or whatever they’re called) out of wood with netting to cover them. One of them is doing a lot better than the other.

This one had everything planted first with Miracle Gro.

This one was planted a month after the previous, and you can see that the plants have grown a lot better. What’s weird, is this one uses cheaper dirt and no Miracle Gro.

And, since one of the dogs joined me outside, I took a few pictures of him as well. This one turned out nicely.

In crafty-related news, there’s a new bracelet up on Etsy that I made. Here it is! We have six totes in progress and four messsengers. I think we’ll work on finishing the totes first, so expect to see new bags up within the next week or so.

Plus, I have a few auctions on Ebay right now. Take a look, please.

Nautical

I’ve really enjoyed looking at all the nautical-themed things for this season. Even though it’s apparently some hot trend this season, I haven’t actually seen many people flaunting it. Anyway, since Delia’s is one of my favorite shops, I checked there first. This is what I love:Cute anchor flats for $26 found here. I’ve been trying to find more navy things to add to my wardrobe, so I might just buy these. Maybe a bit too casual though.

This shirt’s cute, could look good plain with jewelry and jeans, or under a blazer. I’m not sure I’d buy it, but it’s nice to look at. It’s $28 here.

I looked for things on Alloy and Target but didn’t find much I like. Also did some window shopping at Anthropologie, too bad I can’t afford $58 tees.

New bag and jewelry

This awesome tote was made yesterday and is already on Etsy.

It’s made of black canvas with a good amount of interfacing, good stitching, and a fun striped fabric for the accents. The curved part of the front and back (it looks the exact same from each side) is actually a pocket. There are no interior pockets, but with two outside pockets I don’t find that a problem. Just like the summer tote, I’m having a problem not keeping this bag for myself. More pictures can be found at the Etsy listing.

We have also had more fun making jewelry, and have come up with this marvelous marble bracelet. There’s more information on it at the Etsy shop.

These next earrings are nearly like the previously made green swarovski earrings, but an extra bead has been added at the bottom, and they are of course, blue. They’re so gorgeous I wish I had my ears pierced. The metals are sterling silver, while the beads are swarovski.

Accident.

So, about a minute ago, I accidentally deleted my blog. The whole thing. And now, I’m going to try and recreate the posts, which are probably all going to have the same date.. but at least I’ll still have some sort of log for the crafts and whatever I posted about before.

Edit: Since I still had the front page of posts open in another tab, I was able to just copy and paste, which easily saved a few posts. Sad about the rest of them though, I had 15-20.

New bags

There are some bags up on Etsy, messenger bags both large and small. If you like larger bags, we have these:

And if you like them smaller, this is what we have to offer:

Jewelry

We never wanted to be just a bag store, it’s more fun to make all sorts of fun things. Problem is, we make a ton of these fun things all the time, and they never make it to Etsy. I’m proud to announce that we’ve added jewelry and there is much more (jewelry and more!) on the way. There are two pair of earrings available, and I think they’re gorgeous.

These are made with green swarovski crystals, sterling silver metals, and are overall just gorgeous. If I had my ears pierced, I would want to wear them.

The next pair is actually recycled from beads that used to be a bracelet, so nothing as special as the first pair, but I love them just the same:

And also.. I made six of those marble magnets (with those huge marbles, too!) and I love them. They’re all for sale as one set and you can find them at our Etsy shop.

Skullys

So I’ve been working on these skully brooches for awhile now, and I finally have a few done. Only one that I have pictures of and it’s on Etsy. It’s handsculpted and handpainted and I think they’re just so cute.

Birthday

I had a birthday recently, April 15. I had ordered some pants online, which just happened to show up that day. Pretty exciting. Also, I got more clothes later, and went out to lunch with my mom. Good day.
These are the pants I ordered (2 styles don’t have pictures online anymore, I’ll have to take some myself):

Pink cinched bottom pants. They’re much cuter in person.

This shirt I bought in black.
Here’s a closer look at the fabric.
This skirt is from Wet Seal, I’ve been wanting another denim mini.
And I bought grey leggings from Wet Seal.

I also got Levi’s camoflauge cropped pants, which I’ll have to take a picture of.. they’re great.
