What I Love... Friday? 10.18.13

Hey friends. I am really late with this. I got a cold on Tuesday and have been miserable and suffering ever since. But low and behold, here is the what I love post of the week. I should be working on custom orders right now, but I am far more interested in doing this. Shhh!

50's Hairstyles: Victory Rolls

Since I am being a bride of Frankenstein pin up I have been playing a lot with 50's hairstyles and I have been doing a pretty decent job with all of them except... victory rolls. I love the way they look but I just don't think I have enough hair to do this. Ideally I would do these with the white clip in extensions I bought, so maybe I will just keep playing around with it and hopefully get lucky on the 26th.

Rhinestone Friendship Bracelets

I have been seeing these all over lately and am wondering if they're something I might need to add to the shop. I love how they look simple, yet elegant and you can make them is several color combinations. They could be a fun addition to the shop and to my jewelry collection.

Beaded Embroidered Earrings

This is one thing I am for sure going to add to the shop. I have been developing several different patterns for these and am really excited to start working on them. After I complete my custom orders of course.

Candy Corn Rice Krispies Treats

I made these on Thursday for potluck at work and they were a huge success. I totally plan on posting the recipe here either tonight or tomorrow as well. They're really easy and fun to make!

C.O. Bigelow Products

I got my first C.O. Bigelow product at Bath and Body Works and HAD to look them up online. I've since purchased candles and soaps and I think I am becoming obsessed with this brand. I may have to buy something for the whole family for Christmas with these products.

That's all for this week!

(SSS) Stylish Smithereens Shop Update #2

Hello friends. I thought it was time for another shop update since I've listed more things in my shop and I figured that I would show off some of the stuff I've made.

Halloween Black Cat Dangle Earrings with Swarovski Crystals

Hello Kitty Bow Ribbon Statement Necklaces

Multi-Colored Owl Mug Cozys

Faux Druzy Bobby Pins

And back by popular demand are my Skeleton Hand Hair Clips. I swear that between work and Etsy, I have sold around 40 pairs of these.

I have really been hitting the knitting needles hard since autumn and winter are just around the corner. I will soon have Hello Kitty beanie hats and boot cuff/ leg warmers available so that's exciting.

That's all I have to announce. I hope you all had a great weekend! I'm ready for a productive then relaxing birthday week and vacation ahead of us!
