sweet beautiful jewllori!

Lori announced a couple days ago that she's having a one day sale. And it ROCKS! 25% off! Seriously awesome. I'm gonna say it's in honor of my birthday (even though it isn't because she didn't know it was my bday). That's just how I roll. So, go buy beautious awesome jewllori @ her Caitlin's Birfday Bash! Just don't buy what I want. :) I'll meet you in her shop tomorrow. Oh wait, I'll be sleeping in. I may miss you. To get your tasters set, here's a peek at her pretties.

Ok, so I had a super cool find today! You all probably know by now that I have a major itch to sew lately. (Just check out my favorites, if you don't believe me.) I was browsing around looking at scrub top patterns (I work in a hospital & figured they'd be easy...and bankable! haha!) when I came across some reviews. One thing led to another and I ended up browsing various reviews on other shirts. I came across one that had a blog link for more pics. I've been following links like no other lately, so off I went! I landed at Krustallos. I noticed the little Etsy mini on the side bar right away. Cool, I thought. She sells there too. Then I noticed a little chunk of Philippians on the side. One of my favorites! It was awesome.

Upon further investigation (and lots more link following) I learned that Krystal sells lovely jewelry. She's new to Etsy and hasn't had any sales, so go check her out! Also, her jewelry name, Bezalel Designs, is from the Bible. Pretty cool. (And a kick in the butt to make sure mine is focused correctly. I admire her and Tina so much for that!)




So now it's time to follow my lead and hop links. It's fun!

Mmmm

I want a thumb ring. In a bad way. The unfortunate thing about making sales is I seem to think I have all this money to blow! This is definitely not the case. So every few weeks I get the urge to buy. It's so hard to resist when there are all those wondrous sellers out there. Self control, Caitlin, self control!

Anyhoo, the latest desire is a sweet awesome (kind of obsessed with the word combo lately - it's like Lori & "rad") thumb ring. I was inspired by a co-worker who had a very pretty dainty little thumb ring with diamonds all the way around it. That is so not me. I want one that's hip and funky and organic and different. But I can't find it. You know when you have something in your mind and nothing fits? Yeah. That's how I am. I have, however, found lots rings that I love, just not for my thumb. Here's a few. Check out my fav's for 20 bagillion more! I went through lots.

Bloom Studios

A Blond And A Torch (She had a bunch of neat sets, I had trouble choosing!)

Industria

Coco Bijou

Christen Largent

Metamorphosis (Pretty sure this one's been here before, but I like it!)

And now I feel the need to rant... I hate blogger sometimes! Their photo stuff is horrible. It always puts it at the top of my post and when I drag it down to it's little home it adds a zillion empty text lines. Plus the line formatting gets messed up sometimes. I try to lay out my spacing with the shop names nicely. (Must be tha advertising/graphics part of me.) But it doesn't work. So my apologies! The shop name is above each photo.

Also, when looking through rings, I was further reminded of a big pet peeve. It really bothers be when people take pictures of rings on hands. It's gross! You see all the tiny little hairs and the cracks and crevices and bad nails and hands that need lotion... Not that mine are always perfect, cuz they aren't! I have seen lovely pics of the ring around various other objects (some above)...you just have to be more creative.

Ok, enough of that! Hope you're all having a lovely day. Don't forget to pop down and enter to win a maternity shirt. :)
