dusting the cobwebs off!

Although we still have the website from, I don't know, the year 2000 - 

just speculating - we finally have the old give away plug in working 

Yahoo!!

go HERE to win a super excellent SODA by Amy necklace!!

all images from  Split Girl swim shoot featuring the 

necklaces from SODA by Amy. 

New website coming soon(ish)!!

the haps

took a few shots of the  Olde Good Things shop in LA. 

This shop will be in my professional and 

personal future. Mark my words!

and the kitties, you may ask? They are not as 'blue' as 

anticipated. But, they are really fluffy and cute!

The brown girl has already been reserved and named Delilah. 

Does 6 cats make me a cat lady. Oh yes. 

and Pearl, the mom. 

Happy Wednesday!

what's going on...

la la la la I am a terrible blogger. You MAY question my commitment!

ha. But, it's all in good fun. I will still part time throw some 

loveliness your way!

SO! I FINALLY got my favorite piece of swim in. 

Note to self : don't ever say anything is your favorite because it will 

of course be the ONLY piece in the line that arrives with the 

print at 250% size and has to be redone! tears!

Anyway... There is a killer group based on this gorgeous flea

market beauty. Um, looking kind of phallic at the moment. 

Tell me you don't see it. Liar!

I had already received these cute bottoms, so naturally

I was excited. 

Note to **customers/you - this is the Sri Lanka Morgan bottom. 

Anyways, I finally got my most favoritest top.....

pencil drum roll....

The SRI LANKA PAIGE BANDEAU IN MINT! ha. 

The color is actually THIS vibrant and that cobalt is to die for. 

Love it!

My side story of the day is thank you to Joce for putting up this 

story on her blog. Compassionate people make me incredibly happy. 

I am so proud to be her friend! 

Another side story, about me, is that I have been constantly reading

the Angels for Animals page on Facebook, hoping that I see 

somewhere that I can help. 

So! I decided that I would be a kitten foster, so that wee little kittens

would not get euthanized at the shelter and be able to be adopted. 

Originally, I was set to get 7 tabbies this weekend with their mom, 

but a kitten emergency came up and now I am getting these babies

tonight!!  5 week old little Russian Blue peanuts!

I am pretty excited and SO glad I can help. 

And, I think it is worth mentioning that there is a chance that

these cats could grow up to look like this :

baby animals are so amazing. look at this one.

oy!

boy, am I busy. 

However, I am also generally very reliable,apparently,

because many people are wondering where I am!

I haven't really had a whole lot of time to visit this ole blog

lately. I am alive and well, do not worry. 

Actually, I am about to finish up some fun Holiday11 devo, 

so perhaps I will have some fun toys to share soon. 

In the meantime, I can definitely bore you with the haps of the week. 

1.) I got lots of mail. 

I received Halloween costumes for me, Sweetie and Ava

(you will have to wait to find out)

and I got these fun photo albums all the way from Japan. 

found via Whorange...

2.)Shot some more fun swim product. 

A giant thanks to my poor husband who is in 

loverly Orlando right now selling women's 

swimwear. 

These models are super cute, right?

Such wholesome fun. 

3.) Emily was the big winner of the Bikini Bird give away 

and she will be happily wearing this baby

very soon. 

Favorite swimsuit, Favorite print. Yes!

So super happy to spread the swimwear love!

As for written love, 

I will spread some love real soon. I promise.

Have a good weekend!

Pictures of Pumpkins.

wait. I change my title. This is more a photo narrative

of all of the awesome happenings at Roger's last night. 

Ava put on her festive duds for the event. 

and was looking super old in the car. 

When did this happen?

pumpkins. 

more pumpkins...

the bumpy, possibly diseased kind.

white pumpkins. 

So, this years theme was the haunted Toy Factory. 

and some creepy birds came in a giant flock 

right as we were entering...

I really have no idea what 'funn and gaems' means. 

If someone could shed some light on this for me?

But, of course I approve of any reason to use the 

creepy Charlie McCarthy. And they used him. 

he was all over the place. 

classic shot that I just happened to get. 

Weird Charlie photos. Who knows why. 

lots of maimed dollies.

I'd say the dollies really took over where the clowns

left off last year. 

More Charlies, looking corpse-like on their 

assembly line. 

This wall was cool until it started singing.

then it got a little dark.

and upsetting. 

someone's blowing up dollies!

it's Charlie again. 

good clean Halloween fun. 

and, we got our picture taken from Jamie 

for her cute new blog sixth and lamar.

I really think Jamies gravitate towards each other. 

hallelujah!

I woke up this morning, thrilled that it was September and 

immediately assumed it was 'Fall' and threw on my 

favorite Valentino printed crochet Fall number

and some tassled fall heels. 

Well, duh, its not Fall until Labor Day weekend is over and boo 

if I didn't have to tell my daughter that I could not take her 

to the pumpkin patch just yet, even though she is asking to go. 

Well, look what I had pinned to my cubie!

Hooray. Today is the opening of the Halloween 

display at Roger's. 

And, there will be pumpkins there. 

I friggin love Halloween.
