Oh no, I've found a new obsession on Etsy. I've seen them before, but I've always dreamed of dressing like this daily, not just for Halloween. However, since I'm a SAHM, the mail delivery companies may flag me as a psycho and stop delivering packages after seeing me dress like this. So for now (and until those lotto numbers come through), I'll just drool over all these awesome artistic hair accessories and hats. Take a gander:
annabronwyn: fleur fatale, phalaenopsis orchid fascinator for $71.00:
Topsyturvydesign: The Holly Victorian Day Hat for $199.00:
cherrybombe: jazz age black fascinator for only $18.00!
PinkTigersDen: Mini Top Hat Fascinator for $56.00:

Creepsuela: Darla's Tricorn Mini Hat for $150.00:

Etsy is so full of ingenious artists - I'm always amazed at the ability of the Etsians to "upcycle" items that most just give up on. Each of these items contains something that has been recycled. Take a gander:
1spinsterknits: upcycled girl's 6 to 9 month party dress for $50.00:
lunaclaydesign: filigree vintage rhinestone ring for $49.00:
RadicalRecycks: green bean bag for $13.00 (can you believe the price on this sweet find?! So affordable!):
FeltSewGood: brown Willow Felted Wool Handbag for $42.00
sosorosey: rag topped bowlee Earth and Sky for a mere $5.00:
tarahogan: Animal A-Z poster for $60.00:
We went rock hounding a while back (looking for opal outside of Fruita, Colorado which is only about 1/2 an hour from us). Here's some of the few pics my we took...
This photo actually makes Sushi (the pup) look bigger than she actually is. She and my son Riley (seen here) are best buddies.
Riley hounding in the background - me and Gavin in the foreground
Us again - Gavin just wanted to be held the whole time - he was grouchy, poor little dude!
Riley thinks he's found the next million dollar gem...
