things are happening around these parts

No. 1 Hands down, my two favorite purchases in recent months. I wore my POE dress about three times the first week it was in my possession; I love how comfortable and flexible (using "stretchable" = lycra = awful memories of junior high) the cotton is. And, duh, the pattern is killer. And I was ueber thrilled when seeing my not tuesday necklace in person, as the size, make, and color of the beads contribute to probably the coolest necklace I've ever beheld/owned. I haven't been wearing my necklaces that often lately, but this one I've also been wearing daily. And I may have ordered a few more.
No. 2 I bought (and love) two of Chau's Hoop Paintings during her shop restock. They're helping to fill out my walls, as I've done some redecorating. And after having bought a necklace from Caitlyn, I found in my mailbox her zine "Scribble Scrabble." Probably my favorite zine of the last few months. And said to be part of her upcoming shop restock (GET ONE).

I also watched the entirety of Geordie Shore (or at least what the internet would allow me), and have finished out season 4 of Ab Fab (it has filled the void of the Wire, strangely enough). It has been repeatedly pointed out how often I speak in a British accent to myself/the dog, something I had never thought to be out of place. That and apparently I make a lot of weird, vocal sounds. You know...
