I’m beginning the process of moving all my blogs and jewelry/accessory info to Tumblr. I’m interested in too many things to have a separate blog for each of them.

The yellow flower there I made. ^_^
With the money I made off a couple of textbook rentals, I bought this:

I’m supporting two start-up crafty shops. Best impulse buys ever.
Check out more awesome pump accessories at The Hanky Pancreas and more awesome general accessories at the Ever Just Curious Zibbet shop.

…wait for it…
It’s either a tripod candle-holder or a ringless glass dog bell.
Or even better, Sherlock Holmes’ little memorabilia of the Hound of the Baskervilles case. During October, he could light a crimson red votive for a while, then quickly flip it over, extinguishing the flame and voila! A darling, bloody touch to the Halloween décor.

Then . . .
“Happy mother’s day mom. Hope you injoy wats insid there. Happy mothe’s day again.”
. . . amid the double-take WTH moments and asthma attacks from dust flying, you find something like this. And you kinda wish you knew the story behind it.
For once, the spelling police will withhold her snark and let this slide.
Starbucks and Apple should buy shares, stocks, or whatnot in Instagram. Surely the phenomenon has transcended word-of-mouth publicity and become all out advertising. There has to be money-making potential here, I just know it.
“But how can I describe my softly gleaming latte art strategically juxtaposed with my Mac that I bought from THE SYSTEM I protest via Facebook and Twitter? HOW?”
