Etsy is the best!

A few weeks back I joined the "Needful Things Dark Trading Team" on etsy and I gotta say it's been A LOT of fun.  The whole group is centered around "trading goods" so if you are an etsy seller (or buyer) you should check us out and get involved. Since I joined I've been able to not only trade my jewelry for fantastic handmade products, but meet many other members of the team; all of which have been super friendly! It's a great social networking tool also, if you are looking to integrate into the etsy community. We play games, have chats and get involved in BNRS/TNRS too! Plus it's a great way to get some Xmas presents knocked out too! Check us out here: Needful Things Dark Trading Team

Here's a list of some of my fellow team mates/ favorite shops!

Sara Ellis of Ghastly Governess makes cute jewelry items and fantastic art pieces. If you love creepy dolls and gothic jewelry this is the place for you. Let's look at a few items now, shall we?

Pretty Doll Brooch/Hair Clip:

Framed Altered Doll Piece:

Next up is Mimi of GlitzCouture maker of all things cute! If you love Sailor Moon and 90s nostalgia your going to flip when you see her stuff. Here's a personal favorite of mine...

Sailor Moon Trinket Box:

Oh and we can't forget Jenn of Little Shop of Horrors! Her jewelry and accessories are not only crazy cool AND super unique but also VERY affordable! Here's a few of my favorites ;)

Beetle Lover Collage Bracelet:



Honestly I could go on and on. This team is filled with some super awesome etsyians and I can't get enough!

Halloween is coming! I can't wait!

WOW! I can't believe my favorite holiday is almost here! I'm stoked. And thanks to Dragoncon this year I won't be needing a costume either. ;)

Today marks the very beginning of my Fall Jewelry line. It's been an ultra productive day today too so I've already got a bunch of Halloween stuff currently posted, but trust me there's SO much more to come. Be sure to keep checking in over the next week for some wicked zombie, bloody mary and obscure doll jewelry.

hobbit.town jewelry review!

Recently, the lovely Nenuka of Dolls Palace did a review of some of my jewelry! I sent her a few wacky pieces (which she loved) and then she made the rest of the magic happen. Isn't that cool?

Check out her lovely review here:

Dolls Palace

Also, if you are a fan of wacky and cute kawaii findings you should check out the rest of her blog. She's reviewed several other etsy stores and posts often about her amazing finds!

Here's a preview of one of the items she reviewed. Wanna a pair for yourself? Just click on the link below!

Only 8 more days!

For my birthday this year I decided to go all out and give myself the best present ever! A trip to experience Dragoncon!!! With only 8 more days to go I'm bursting with joy. Don't worry I'll post photos when I get back. :) But in the spirit of things I've found myself doing a lot of internet browsing for the perfect costume. Here's a few of my favorites:

A handmade Totoro costume!! How cool is that? Couldn't afford it for the con...but thinking about saving up for Halloween. Eek! Want one too? Check out her etsy @ pokcosplay

 I swear someday I'm going to fulfill all my girly childhood fantasies and dress up as Utena! But for now I'll have to leave it to the pros with all their money and fancy costumes. I guess there is always next year..

Dang!! Looking for cosplay ideas led me to discover just how many different Sailor Moon wands Bandai produced in the early 90s and I gotta say I WANT THEM ALL! But especially the kaleidescope rod and the spiral heart wand! Oh man. I'm in trouble. Too bad they are all like $150+ each. :(






I'm back and ready for more!

Hey everyone! I know I've been very bad about posting so far, but I promise that is all going to change now (for real!). So if you are a fan of my jewelry or want to learn more about me then get ready for awesomeness!

From now on, this blog (still centered around my jewelry makings) will also feature posts about random internet findings, things I want, stuff I've bought, and awesome people you should know about. Plus more!

So tell your friends and get ready for excitement!

Lots of love.
