HALLOWEEN NAILS & MORE!

Bewitching Halloween nails. This is a mix of stuff from just about everywhere lol.

Belated Spooky Monday and a Special Gift!

I was so behind this week that I thought I wouldn't be able to post a Spooky Mondays post.  Turns out our host Wendy, of Wendy's Adventures in Wonderland, was a bit behind herself due to technical difficulties.  Sooooooo I have a Spooky Mondays post after all, and it's a very special one.

You see, today I received a treasured gift in the mail from none other than ~ Wendy!  Her talent is amazing to me, as well as her kindness.  I was so excited to receive a package.  I opened it and what did I find?

The treasures were wrapped so lovely in vintage eyelet and muslin.  My heart was beating fast!  Then I opened it.

And ta~da!  Two of the cutest Halloween tags I've ever seen!  Let's have a closer look, shall we?

She's such a doll!  I love the whole vintage-esqueness (?) of it!  And even the back of the tag is something to behold.

 So gorgeous!  And check out this little "witch."

How cool is that?

So incredibly cute, yet a bit eeeeerie as well.  So perfect for this belated Spooky Mondays post!  Thank you, Wendy, for your kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity.  I am so glad to have made your bloggy friendship!  Now everyone head on over to Wendy's Adventures in Wonderland and check out all the other Spooky Mondays links for this week.

Purple Bows

Keeping up with the light-colors theme for my super-short nails...I like how this simple design turned out. And I love how easy it is to make precise designs with these stencils! I bought them from Nail Delights and plan on ordering more soon.
I started with two coats of Avon's "Luxe Lavender" polish over a layer of China Glaze base coat. I like this purple...the perfect pastel, I think.

shop update: new pieces in store

I can't believe it's been nearly a month since my last update - it's crazy how time flies by so quickly.

I've been hard at work working on new pieces for the new season, new photos, a new website, preparing pieces for the racing season, filling orders and working on a number of large requests... in between working full time in my day job of course! Oh how I love it! I'll update my blog with updates as I slowly get through them so stayed tuned =)

I've been fortunate enough to have a long weekend this week - Friday off work and Monday here in Canberra is a public holiday. This means I've had a little bit of time to work on some new pieces for my store. Here are some pics - more coming!

White or ivory mixed fabrics baby hair pins

Triple mixed fabrics bridal sash belt

ZOYA Wonderful review

Hello my Sweet Nail-Art Lovers.
Today i am posting my review of new "Wonderful" collection by Zoya, that i recently received in my mail. I will Also soon post the rest of Zoya's Seasonal called "Wicken" .
Even that i was so excited to get it and try these colors out, every time i look at these polishes i have a deja vue feeling. I mean don't get me wrong, colors are gorgeous, and quality is as always outstanding, however some of the polishes really reminded me other colors by zoya.
I also want to mention that i was surprised with how colors came out on the nails, some look way much nicer that my first "bottle" impression. My only wish for Zoya, is to stop cloning redish colors and add a litle spalsh on something unexpected. May be more in blue tones...
Anyway, here are pictures, so you can judge yourself.

Show Your Vintage Charm Launch Party

Ok, so I MAY be a tad late for the party (2 hours and 5 mins. left in order to still make it, to be exact), BUT I'M HERE!  Here to celebrate the launch of Creating Vintage Charm Magazine.  It's a fantasmic creation, and it's senior editor/designer, Sonia Crouse, has graciously invited us all to be a part of it's first voyage today!

My contribution to the Party is a new necklace I created just for the occasion.  Drumroll, please.............

The focal piece is a vintage cameo charm which was once a stick pin.  I added a vintage pearl drop earring (minus the earring part!) and a vintage rhinestone ball, along with some faceted glass beads for added color and sparkle.  The ribbon is silk dupioni.

Finally, the chain incorporates antique brass links with faceted glass beads and vintage bead spacers.

I have always had a love for all things vintage.  And my jewelry creations have become an extension of that love.  Thanks, Sonia, for being such a gracious host.  And all you readers ~ hel-lo! ~ head on over to  Sonia's blog and check out all the other bloggers who are sharing their vintage charm as part of this fabulous launch party!  You can also find out the details of how to order yourself a copy of this beautiful magazine.  From what I've seen so far you don't want to miss it! 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I'm linking this up with Common Ground's  Inspiration Friday

Practical Magic Blog Party

I've had fun conjuring up a creation to go along with the theme of this blog party {the movie (or the book) "Practical Magic"}.

The story is about two sisters who are born into a long line of witches.  They are orphaned and sent to live with their two witchy (literally!) aunts in this fabulous house.  Yes, I want it!

And the kitchen is to die for!

The aunts.  (We love them!)

And you gotta love a movie that has no shortage of handsome men in it.  

  Aidan Quinn

Goran Visnjic

Mark Feurstein

My creation was inspired by the recurring theme of birds in the movie as well as the scene where Nicole Kidman admits to giving her boyfriend bella donna to knock him out, only it killed him!  Well, here it is.

The charm is a bird on a nest (with actual eggs underneath it!) that hangs from a little tin box that says "Witch Hazel" on it.  I could just see the sisters or the aunts using it to hide their secret stash of spell ingredients. 

Thanks to Justina and Anna for hosting this spectacular event!  Now it's time to head on over to their Party Blog and discover a long list of other bloggers who are also participating in the Practical Magic Blog Party fun!  Check out their blogs and help get this party started!

Well, that's it ladies.  Hope this puts you in the mood to go out there and rent this movie in anticipation of Halloween.  It really is a hoot!  Oh, and don't forget the midnight margaritas.....
