Halloween Treats!

It's almost here, my favorite time of year. Halloween is just around the corner and if you haven't had a chance to check out the many wonderful items for sale on Etsy, now is the time. There are a few pages in the Halloween Gift Guide and I decided to pick some of the my favorites.

I love shadow puppets and orangemoontoys has a set of the perfect Halloween spooky shadow puppets. They come in just black or you can get a set that are colored.

Littledreamsbig has created the cutest little treat bags. They are made with various Halloween material and I just adore them. My favorite one is the one with BOO and ghosts.

I bet you never thought you see Argyle, skulls, and Halloween in the same sentence. This has to be the coolest little monster, created by PoisonedCreations, I have ever seen.

If I had a wish for some more Halloween decorations it would definitely be this cemetery display by crafterella. I really go all out and these would be perfect in my front window.

This psycho killer black and red Halloween wreath by dancingcircle would look awesome hanging on any door.

Get Well Soon!

My husband had his gallbladder removed yesterday, so I thought I would do a post relating to recovery and well wishes for getting well.

TheMidnightOrange has created the ultimate gift for someone in recovery. Check out these Spoons Full of Sugar. A Spoon Full of Sugar is a metaphoric gift to show someone that you are sending the sweetest thoughts their way while they are sick or ill. The gesture helps to ease the mental discomfort associated with sickness, whether someone is just getting over a cold or bug, or has a longer road to treatment and recovery.

I love this plush uterus by VulvaLoveLovely and it reminded me of my friend, who is currently recovering from having fibroids removed yesterday from her uterus. This plush sports a Band-Aid, stitches and a cast.

How clever is this wooden card made out of craft sticks. Each card is drawn and colored by hand denisesimon and comes in a clear envelope with a sticker to write "to" and "from".

Next time I am shopping for a get well card, I know I will be shopping at QweenDavia. This little dog card is the cutest and it will work for just about anyone since the colors are neutral.

At first I couldn't imagine why anyone would wear these cute little Get Well Soon Ponytail Holders. Then I started thinking of Children's Hospital and how they would fit in just perfectly. ButtonBoutique has such a creative imagination and I simply adore these.

Black and Orange by the Pagans of Etsy Street Team!

I need to point out that poetsummer is NOT a member of our street team, however, she has awesome stuff. I would like to take this opportunity to support and expose the wonderful people in my Pagans of Etsy Team. We have extremely talented people so this post is dedicated to them.

Check out this Halloween Witch Button Bracelet by poetsummer. I love the buttons she uses and I actually have some for myself!!

Hang this around your neck for Halloween but don't become the skeleton!! Moonlitbeadery is very creative and I love that this is so simple and fun.

This has got to be my absolutely favorite thing that I have seen so far for Halloween from our group. Vermorlian has handmade this entire Samhain/Halloween Altar Set. If I could afford it right now it would so be mine!

Black cats are always related to Halloween and unfortunately not always treated well around this time. As I have 2 black cats, I love this photo by SusanSee called Curio Paw.

I love this beautiful hand drawn piece called Bewitched by ElsyianFields. Does anyone know why a witch sits side saddle on a broom? There is a reason for it.

I Love Lavender

These cards, by peaceofpi, actually have 1930 German text and I love how the background is lavender.

Is Gracie not the cutest thing you've ever seen? SugarAndSpice made this doll and she loves to go to garden parties.

Check out this beautiful scarf by fringe. I absolutely adore the lavender fringe. What a wonderful winter scarf to go over something professional. Hmmmm….

So purple is my favorite color and lavender is my favorite scent, however, this little guy and his green eyes caught my attention. LittleSockUgghs makes the cutest little Vampire Bat.

HeidisHandmades has come up with the ultimate soap. Lavender, Peppermint, and Shea Butter. I have to get me some of this soap. I need to relax and feel refreshed.

Craving Fall!

Let's hear it for fall! Check out these amazing items.

Alyson123 has definitely captured the longing for Fall in this mixed metal bracelet consisting of brass chain, gold-filled toggle, wire, jump rings and head pins and brass finished pieces. There are three types of brass finished leaves and hammered squares. To add to the autumnal essence, this charm bracelet also includes coffee freshwater pearls, copper Swarovski crystals and smokey quartz briolettes.

I couldn't help but just sit and stare at this awe inspiring picture from RobEastam. The leaves on the ground would fly into the air driving this road. I could imagine the fun and then at the end of the road is a mountain winery.

These ornaments can be used in fall to decorate those by the door trees. What detail starless has in these beautiful ornaments!

These are a gorgeous pair of cruets by MakintheBestOfIt. This set is said to "take you from fall colors through the holiday season." I can totally believe it and I love the leaves that have been painted with a shimmery gold paint to catch the light from any angle.

This is what detail is all about. Check out this fall shimmer tree pendant by shimmerdesignstudios. A pure silver tree trunk adorned with shimmery fall colored beaded branches.
