What's Going On

These past couple of days have been really busy!  I've been getting school work done and trying to get my surprise ready!  Its a lot more work than I anticipated, but I think it will be worth it.  I think you can probably guess what I'm doing!  And you're right, I'm opening up my own little shop.  I can't wait!  Hopefully it will be open in time for Christmas shoppers.  At least I got a name!



There it is in big letters!  Indie Pendants.  My husband came up with that name. He's so clever.  I can't wait to launch the shop and show you what I've been doing the last week or so!

Welcome to Plasticland

I haven't done a real post in awhile, and since my daughter is up and will not let me sleep, I figured I could past the time and do it now!  
I know everyone has heard of Modcloth before.  It is the best place to look for all your needs:  cute tops, adorable dresses, even vintage housewares.  There is an equally awesome site out there called Plasticland.  I don't know if its as well known, but I just found it recently and love it.  It has a more rockabilly/punk feel than Modcloth, but there is still a lot of stuff you would like if you're not into that type of thing.  
I've been trying to learn the art of photo layouts in Photoshop, so I put together a couple of groups of things I really liked on the site.  These are really rusty since I am still learning.  Its crazy how much work goes into these!  I commend all the experts out there!

1.  Seafoam Sailer's Sweetheart Tee

2.  Clever Charm Pan Collared Top

3.  Black Heart It Out Tee

4.  Sneak Preview Puff Sleeve Tee

1.  Teal Jitterbug Jane Heeled Sandals

2.  Flirty Forest T-Strap Mary Janes 

3.  Soda Shoppe Saddle Shoes 

1.  White Sparkle Hot Rod Honey Purse

2.  80's Ghetto Blaster Weekend Bag

3.  Lime Sparkle Pin-Up Train Case

4.  Vintage Camera Print Flight Bag

1.  Rockabilly Tattooed Skull Ornament

2.  Modern Vintage Pink Cuckoo Clock

3.  Retro "Mimi" Mannequin Head

4.  Picture Perfect Pencil Sharpener

5.  Tattoo Nudies Stripping Pint Glasses

I am really in love with the Ghetto Blaster Weekend bag.  That will be added to my wishlist that is already entirely too long!

Hopefully, Lizzy will get full and go to sleep soon.  I've only gotten an hour and a half of sleep and its 5:30 a.m. already!  I am supposed to be waking up at 7:30 for her first doctor's appointment.  I may have to get my husband to take her.  I was already exhausted last night before this started.  I don't know if I could drive!

Wish me luck on the sleep!  Hope everyone's day goes better than mine!

Tattoo Tuesday: My Tattoo Treasury

I recently discovered treasuries on Etsy.  I'm probably behind the times, but I don't own a shop and never have extra money to go buy stuff on there, so I just do the occasional browsing.  They're so much fun to do!  Plus, it gives you a way to group all your favorites if you look for a certain "category" a lot.  Like this morning, I made a Tattoo Treasury and found a lot of really awesome stuff!
