Etsy Rocks!

I love to look at other artisans creations on etsy. I am always in awe of others creativity and talent ~ I could bop around etsy all day long...sippin' my coffee in my pj's, curled up with my computer ....wait- that thing called a "job" keeps getting in my way!

But anyhoo- in my free available time - you know at 4am in the morning when I get up before anyone else in the house - just so I can steal some alone time... I am usually surfing etsy. This morning I found these awesome Halloween decorations made by Linda Silverthorne.Check them out....

All of these items made by Linda are sculpted of paperclay over a styrofoam and wood armature, then painted and antiqued for a vintage look. The heads even bobble on a wire springs!

This is my kind of Halloween Decor!

Halloween Advent Calendars

Advent Calendars make me feel like a kid again. The whole counting down till the big holiday ~ all the anticipation and excitement that builds up....I love it.

I found these super cute Halloween Advent Calendars and just had to share!

This one is from ShambleRamble and it is so awesome!


I love working with felt, so when I saw this Advent Calendar, made by Nerd-Bucket I was head over heels!

Witchy Woman

I am in love....

I found this wonderful Witches Hat this morning on Etsy at Mermaiden Creations.

It is making me re-think my Halloween costume now!

The Elegant Side to Halloween

I love Halloween....however, I am not a fan of the creepy, gory, scary stuff. I like my Halloween decor whimsical and cheerful....pretty to look at. :o)

So, this morning I was so excited when I found this wonderful blog Imperfectly Beautiful. It has some super ideas for a more elegant look for Halloween!

I love the stacking of the pumpkins to make a "topiary" effect!
