Happy Halloweenie!

Woohoo! It's Halloween! Or Halloweenie, if your a weenie dog like my Mel :)

I gotta come clean tho, Halloween has never really been my thing. So I'm spending my day working on new collection concepts, answering emails and drinking coffee generously spiked with Amaretto! Yum!

What I do find exciting about Halloween however is that the day after, Nov. 1st, marks the first day of my official Christmas season! Yeah I know, that might be a little early to begin the festivities, but not for me!!! Be prepared for many a Christmas themed post in the coming weeks :)

Happy Halloween all, be safe! And don't panic if you run into any pirates like this one :)

I. LOVE. THIS.

I'm not real big on taking to my blog to make political statements or talk about human rights issues but, I love this. This advertisement/psa campaign Stonewall, a LBGT Charity, has running right now is pretty much perfection on every level.

So yeah. That's my opinion on that. No worries, I'm done being political for a while.

Back to our regular scheduled pointless blogging about music you guys don't really care about :)

If this doesn't make you smile...

I don't know what will! I'm not sure I have ever loved a shell quite so much!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

...well, almost! The holiday season is fast approaching and business has really kicked into gear. Etsy loves to kick my ass from September thru January :) In other news, my photography side gig has really been growing as well! I recently shot promo photos for a local band, as well as keeping myself uber busy with photographing live shows! Woohoo! Photography and music, my heart overfloweth! Have I ever mentioned how much fun it is to have such talented friends? I will give you a peak at some of my favorite shots from the band shoots in the coming days...

Anyway, my apologies for my poor blog etiquette during this time of insanity but I will do my best to get back on track and keep you all entertained by my antics. For now, I must get back to the massive spread of half finished jewelry and stack of bubble envelopes.
