Simple Pleasures

I tried to focus on the simple pleasures in life today...like a fresh, new dye job. The smell of the salon and the sounds of foils...ahh, like music to my seriously bored ears. I feel like a new woman. I really needed that. 

I continued on with my day and met a good friend (hi Val!) at Gilding the Lily in Fullerton, CA.

First time visit for me. What a great little store! I saw a few Halloween classes on display there that i'm veeerrryy interested in being a part of. I had Halloween on the brain today while shopping at Gilding. I am the guest designer for Kari's Year of Color blog for October! So i had to stock up on some fresh Halloween inspiration. October is all about black and white...but i couldn't help throwing in just a bit of fuchsia, orange and lavender. I've got to focus on the black and white though...can't wait to share what i come up with!

These feathers are to die for...

 

And these trims...oh la la.

 

So anyways, i'm excited to play with it all. Val and i lunched and laughed an went on our merry little ways. I got home and finished up a very cute project i teased about a while. I've got a date and locations to share with you...and i will be selling kits on my website starting late October! More to come...

Wow. Christmas and Halloween, all in one post. K, i'm going to paint my nails and then go to bed. Red polish all the way. Thanks for reading! :-)

Those lucious feathers inspire a troupe of macabre can-can dancers, non? Disney's haunted mansion meets Moulin Rouge?
