thursday is moving day. i am so excited to finally be getting this move to the prestwick house over with! while i am no doubt waiting to be slaving away with boxes and a big huge moving truck, i am also drooling all over my mailbox waiting for supplies to come in! 

while you can be confident i am all sweat and stifled complaints of "are we done yet?", i am also thinking about lots of cool things coming this way soon.

 the inside of my head has been furiously working with the night light on while i sleep, on some ideas that i have had in mind since Jim Dandy's started. part of these ideas is implementing some netting into some of my select pieces.

on order and shipped for delivery:

                                                 black and red french netting, russian bridal veil

 ooo la` la`!, ptchika!

i have been going back on halloween ideas since august. i know, im nuts. but this will be the first halloween with the greek and i, and as i mentioned in this post, it is my FAVORITE holiday.

to inspire some creative ideas (because there is nothing worse than being out on halloween and seeing the same exact costume on someone besides yourself), i ordered these gorgeous MASKS! perhaps i could turn halloween into a marketing strategy. ;p

sarasvati and her feline

now where is that mail delivery person!! :D

it feels like summer is going to take a rain check on fall just yet. i love the way the mesh of summer and fall smells. there is a calming in the air, as if the wind is waiting for halloween craze! (can't wait)

today was the first girl scout meeting. i love my girls and missed them so much! they are already planning their very first halloween party. we divided up into three committees for decorations, games, and food. each committee met in different areas of the room to brainstorm, then reported back to the entire group. next week they will vote on what and who and all the exciting details.

some of their ideas made me really proud:

instead of candy bowls, why not pinatas?
a costume fashion show for the parents
creepy punch with gummy worms in it

brings tears to my eyes!

today's etsy seller of the day is this awesome artist Dilkabear! after reading about all this awesome artwork on another blog the other day, i was impelled to buy one of the limited edition pieces. to be exact, i bought the Dandelion Girl print. its gorgeous and i can't wait to hang it in the new house!
