Just another Waste of Time

I think it has been past due time for a watch. I have never worn watches religiously. My sporadic self usually finds a broken watch at the thrift store, wears it for a week or so, then realizes that is quite silly because it does not even work. Yes I often wear watches that do not work. It is just hard to justify paying 45$ to fix a watch that I payed 2.50$ for. So I have finally decided to break down and buy a very beautiful custom handmade watch.

ETSY watches

I just cant quite understand the trend of those goofy looking huge crystal watches with brightly colored plastic bands. I honestly thought I liked them, until I saw everyone and their mom wearing them. They even sell them for like 20$ at those awful kiosks in the mall.. NO thank you
I would NOT like a watch that 3/4s of American women own.
I also like to support etsy sellers whenever possible.

but when not possible- i go for the other end of the spectrum Japanese watches!

Here are a few other options....
do you see the trend? maybe i should just get two!

retro green watch



lime green watch





bright yellow!



super duper

so which is your favorite? I'm leaning toward the super duper!
Have a great weekend!

Fall Sale. and pumpkin time.

(read more below)

Fall is officially here. This means I'm feeling a little generous!
I have carved one pumpkin, worn plenty of sweaters, and eaten one too many pumpkin flavored deserts already.

This October has been filled with oh so many surprises and changes for me. I have officially settled into a new city. I recently got a truly inspirational and rewarding job. I have met so many new friends, oh and did I mention HALLOWEEN is just around the corner?

let me simply explain.

I accepted a position at Mitchell's Place, a comprehensive treatment center in Birmingham for children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Job title: Development Associate, basically organizing and helping with fund-raising events and conferences as well as development goals for the school. The staff has been so welcoming and encouraging, and the kids are simply an inspiring delight to be around. I am very excited to be joining such a wonderful team.

so on to more super news... Everything in the shop will be 40% off until the end of October.
the discount will be reimbursed when you check out.
you MUST send me a message which reads: 40OFF please!
(excludes shipping prices)

I am trying to clean house a bit to get ready for fall crafts and holiday parties.

and i have so many ideas running around in my head for Halloween costumes... first on the list Poison Ivy. i just really want to either a. wear a wig...or b. be in complete disguise.

hope your having a super splendid fall.
sorry for the lack of posts recently.
my life has been wow busy.

Fancy Shop Update for Fall

This update has been a long time coming. I have finally gotten a chance to squeeze in a photo shoot in order to update items for the end of summer and beginning of fall. There are really some exquisite pieces in this update. As you can see I have two new models, Christian (my roomie), and Emma. Both wonderfully beautiful ladies, it was so easy to get some great shots.

This photo shoot was quite an adventure. The pictures were taken at my moms house right next to her chicken coop haha. And let me tell you.... we were getting eaten up by mosquitoes!! Ill share a few pics with me taking pics and sporting those silly bug repellent fans. They actually work! The shoot was great fun, and I am so excited to have my friends helping me out.
All of the items will be up in The AppleSeed by the end of today! I hope you enjoy.
