ANATOMY of a Blue Bat Case

i am on vacation. well, visiting a portion of my family across the state. 3 hours from all of my baggage so to speak.

i've had a wicked fever, cold and sore throat since late friday night- not ideal for my week off.
been working on this new train case for the shop- or possibly my brother because it doesn't seem my buyers are much interested in the bat- though i must say- i'm obsessed with it and so is he.


i finally was able to get out of bed today and snap some shots of my brother and this new case. the light was supreme, the camera felt like it weighed 10lbs. because i am so weak from the illness that has been ravaging my insides for the past 4 days. i quickly got back into bed and fell asleep. i've been napping like crazy but it's never the kind where you wake up feeling rested.


the etsy-versary last week was a HUGE success and my head is still swimming in a pool of love that rained down on me and the shop.
does thank you ever get old? is thank you even enough? i don't feel like it is. but i never will be satisfied with the amount of love i attempt to return. i just wasn't built that way.
i've got new ideas brewing for the shop but that's nothing new. i know it's summer but i feel it's end approaching fast. so i'm hitting the brakes.
more medicine to digest, more tea to drink, more restless naps to be taken.

Lucky Lobes

look what I GOT! just take a gander......

like a kid in a candy shop with a smackdown of REBEL!



so the above earrings are from the fantastically talented AMY at
www.ThePeachTree.etsy.com
now, these are all going to be gifts- 3 for my mother, 1 for my awesome assistant who just bought herself a pair of rockin YELLOW vans. these treats are going to make my lovelies very happy. their LOBES ARE GONNA BE A SHOUTIN'!
if i could wear earrings these would be what i'd be wearing. but seriously, if you could see me these days...... i get so excited and frantically artistic that i actually run into walls when i move from room to room because i don't take the time to think about things spacially. knowing me i would get these things caught the latches of a new suitcase and probably rip off my entire lobe. oh wow, gettin to graphic.

POINT IS:

who doesn't want a little color in their lives? these gems are fabulous for everyday or a night out. for adults and kids. they are dazzzzzzzling. they are NOT to eat but yo may find yourself attempting to put them in your mouth as it's watering for a jolly-rancher.

go buy
a pair for your mom, a pair for your best friend, and a pair for yourself!
because not only are these pieces GORGEOUS but they are affordable.

thank you amy, for making us all able to let our inner rockstar out at a price completely justifiable!
