Halloween Pic and Etsy Treasury #2

As if I had any free time, right?  But look what I made.  Etsy Treasury #2 for me.  Way behind on checking my favorite blogs.  Hope to get caught up soon.  Where does the time go?

 Nature's Harvest Treasury

Oh, and I can't forget the kiddo.  She made sure to tell everyone while she was trick-or-treating that she is not a butterfly, she is a dark fairy. 

The butterfly, ur I meant dark fairy to the far left with the goofy smile is Lauren.  Lots to tell tomorrow!

Simply Spooky Charms

My Halloween charms from the Charmsters group came!  Look at these goodies in their packages.

And out of their packages!

There was so much talent here.  So many different stories and wonderful charms.  There was even one with the whole story wrapped around a skeleton hand.  You can see that one up above in the photo.  Even though they were all very creative, I had one in paritcular that I was most fond of.  Here it is!

Can you tell what well known story this goes with?  Unfortunately, I can't seem to find which artist made this piece otherwise I'd give her some credit for such a cool work of art.  Notice there is a picture of a girl with red (blood) on one side and a mirror on the other.  Ring any bells?

It's Kinda Spooky!

Well, the kiddo has a temp. of 103 and not doing so great.  I caught her still trying to get ready for school, she must really like it.  Poor thing!  It's scary, there have been two cases of H1N1 in the middle school here.  So, I'm keeping a steady flow of cold juice and Motrin going.  Trying to make a doctor's appt. but still just a busy signal.  Ugh!

Ok, while she's sleeping I thought I would jump on here and show you my inside Halloween decorations.  I bought several of Yankee Candle's Bones tealight holders.  The one with the farmer couple holding the candles dripping red is one of my favorites.  And the ornamental grass to the right in the picture is some from my back yard that I've been trying desperately to get rid.  Glad to see it's good for something besides cussing at.  Oh, and no, I don't normally light these candles.  It was just for the picture and I know it's a fire hazard having the candles close to the dry grass.

 

And check out these owls.  I didn't actually buy them to go with my Halloween stuff but I stuck them in to fill up the space.  And they are so cool when the candle light shines through their eyes.  I'd love to see pictures of your Halloween decorations.  This is always such a fun time of the year!

Now onto other things.  That beauty over there -----------------------------------------------------------> at the very top of the page is the spotlight item for this week.  It's name is Bling Bling Bali Bracelet.  This guy is a heavy one all decked out with sterling silver Bali beads and Swarovski crystals to add the bling, bling.  He'll be 10% off for this week only.  Any takers?

And here's another item I added recently to the Bei Mondi Etsy store.

 

Autumn's Abundance Lampwork and Copper Bracelet

The wonderful colors of autumn! This piece combines the yummy warmth of copper with some breath taking lampwork beads. The little cubes of cinnamon and spice are created by Crazy Cat Lampwork and the blue/burgundy ruffles were made by Norma Brink. The lampwork is connected by various copper bead designs with many swirls and whirls to adore.

Have a great Monday and I'll be emailing each of you some time tonight about the Earring Exchange after the hubby gets home.  He'll mix up the names and send one to each of you (me included) so no one knows who gets what name.  This should be fun!
