Earrings or "How I can still fit into things I wore in high school."

Right now I have in a pair of gold hoops. Little gold hoops that I've probably had since high school.

And hey! They still fit!

I love to make earrings and I love to wear earrings for that exact reason: they always fit.

My Etsy shop is pretty well stocked at the moment:

My favorite earrings tend to be ones I can't make myself. I love these:

Double Dot Stems from Vivian Gaston Designs

and these:

The Larissa by Passions Victorina

and nothing makes my heart beat a little bit faster than turquoise:

from Society Hill Designs

One size fits all.

Where Have You Been, Missy?

I'm not even going to go into all the things that have or have not been going on in my life that have prevented any postings from happening. Suffice it to say dogs and kids and parents and holidays and work have made extra time nonexistent. Hopefully things are turning around and wonderful happenings are on the horizon.

Presently I'm restocking my Etsy shop with pretty little items like these:

With more to come! I'd love to have you check out the shop over the next few weeks to see what's new.

Still Thinking about Halloween and the Homemade Costumes Yet To Be Made and MadeByMelissa on Etsy

I realize that one of the things in the title of this post is not like the others. At least at first glance. But my fellow Etsyblogger, Made by Melissa, has a great shop full of Halloween items that might just make your holiday that much more festive.

Like this Happy Skull Halloween Charm Necklace.

Or these cute Giggly Ghouls Ghostly Charm Earrings, which are much more my cowardly Halloween speed.

Melissa, however, has many skills and apparently not an idle moment. You can find whimsical jewelry in her shop:

Beautiful, crocheted babies' blankets:

and my personal favorite, Penny the Pink Elephant:

With her mad skills, I'll bet Melissa could have Jimmie's Toxic Waste costume done in a matter of minutes.
