TATTOO TALK

So here's the scoop on the possible tattoo. Rescue Ink is an organization of big tough guys, some of them with not so squeaky clean pasts, that have banded together to try to fight animal abuse. They are basically all heavily tattooed. Well, a bunch of people in Baltimore banded together and agreed that if these guys would come to Baltimore to help bring awareness to animal abuse in Baltimore, that they would get a paw print tattoo. My friend Jackie agreed to do it, and along with about 100 others, got Rescue Ink to come!!

So this Saturday, the Baltimore Tattoo Museum will be tattooing paw prints for $100, and all of the profits will go to the Humane Society. Now, I've always liked tattoos, but only in certain places and only certain things. I always knew if I got a tattoo it would be somewhere hidden, probably my hip, and it would have to be something I would like for the rest of my life (obviously). I figured animal rights is the one thing that will not change. So this kind of seems perfect. Originally a design was posted, and I didn't like it, so figured that had made my decision not to get one. Well apparently that wasn't the design, and they just posted the new one, which is exactly what I had imagined in the beginning. An all black small paw print. So now I am up in the air about it again! I am the most indecisive person ever so it's torture to think about it!

Wish me luck with my decision!

Monday

I just wanted to first reiterate again how much I love the shop Pink Saguaro. The rings I ordered were delivered to my work on Friday, but I wasn't here so I had to wait until today to get them. It was so worth the wait! The rings are (amazingly) even better in person. They were each wrapped up in a little bag with a drawstring and on top of that she included a free pair of earrings. What a fantastic seller. She has also given me some tips on being a new Etsy seller, since she is fairly new too! This is one of many reasons why I love Etsy so much.

Here are a few of the other items from her amazing shop!

The rings I got remind me a lot of these from Tarina Tarantino, but at such a fraction of the cost!

Also, I really love these shoes!

But considering I don't even go out all that much anymore, plus it's been really cold here recently, it might be more practical to consider these since they're cheaper but still just as cute if you ask me!

But let's be honest, I have tons of shoes at home already with high hells but I always opt for shoes that won't make my feet hurt after 15 minutes!

And since I'm on the topic of Target (the greatest store of all time), here are two of the things I ordered yesterday :)

These rain boots. After it rained for about 4 days straight, I finally buckled down and ordered them.

And this ring by Anna Sheffield for Target. I LOVE when Target has expensive designers create affordable lines for them. I have way too much from those collections! It was hard for me to decide which piece to order from this line, but I'm happy with my decision.

And one last favorite item from Etsy right now. This tattoo inspired rose necklace. There has been some tattoo talk recently, and after this Saturday I may have my first one! More on that later this week :)

Happy chilly Monday!

Hi there!

Happy rainy Thursday :0)

Psst . . . I have a surprise!!

I listed my first ever Etsy items today!!! I am so excited. So far I've only gotten 5 cards listed, but I'm going to try to do a little bit at a time. That way hopefully more people will see my items in the recently listed section. I also need to get some pictures of my hair flowers in my hair and then I can list them!!

I'm so happy to now be an Etsy seller. Even if I haven't actually sold anything yet :)

Here are two of the cards I listed!!

Front: I am a happy camper Inside: Because of you

And this is one of three Talk Nerdy To Me cards

There are more pictures on my flickr page :)

Yay Etsy!!

Veggie Quote from PETA2.com

It's not easy to think about where meat comes from. Someone else does all the disgusting dirty work for you, so you don't have to see how much the animal suffers.

If you love animals or don't think hurting them is the right thing to do, the just stop eating them. It's easy.

Wax Seal Pendants!

This necklace is so cute. And the example shown in the pictures has an M and K (how perfect for Melissa and Karim!). I can't help getting excited over little things like that :)

Halloween on the brain

The past few days I've really been struggling with my Halloween costume! I usually have it all ready to go by mid-October so I'm slightly panicking. I know I'm being Daphne from Scooby Doo at work, but need something for at night. Since I'll have to buy white boots already, I'm thinking I might just go for this hippie mod costume. At least then I'll get to wear the boots more than once.

And . . . I got to use my new Fuji Instax camera! The pictures are so cute :) I don't think Lily loves me taking her picture, but she needs to accept it! Taking her picture is one of my favorite things to do after all.


Also, right now here are the things I am in love with:

This marc by marc jacobs cloud 9 necklace

This kate spade resin ring

And this Tarina Tarantino butterfly necklace

It's definitely chilly outside this morning. Feeling more like Fall every day! Happy Monday :)
