The Leaves are Green.


Netflix is sooooo great.  

On an unrelated note, here are new items:



I've realized that as much as I love the idea of summer, I'm actually not that big of a fan of it.  I am indifferent to sunshine, I hate having to put on extra sunscreen, the heat makes me so tired, and I can't shake this never-ending craving for ice cream.  I find myself shopping more-- craving the cool comfort of retail stores.  Bad idea.

August seems to be the worst month of this unbearable weather.  And then..... the leaves will turn and the sun will go down at an earlier time, and I can go to bed at a reasonable hour.

I'm Just a Broadway Baby.

After my band played at the UMS this past month, I've been realizing more and more how much of a gem South Broadway in Denver can be.  Besides venues like the Hi-Dive, movie theaters like the Mayan, and ice cream at Sweet Action (banana with Reese's Pieces-- yum!), I've discovered some great shops (with some help, of course)!

Check out the Goodwill on Broadway and Ellsworth.  I've found some great belts and random knick knacks there.

Fancy Tiger is a fun shop that sells clothes and accessories by local designers.  They also have classes for sewing and crafting and some awesome textiles.

And my recent find, thanks to my friend, Emily, is Decade, a "gift boutique."  I got lost in the store, in a good way.  It was a good thing I knew I couldn't spend any money because that store would have gotten me in big trouble.

I'm slowly making my way with listing my items in the etsy shop.  Here are some recent postings:

Owl Pendant Chain and Pearl Necklace
Pearls and Buttons Chain Necklace

I'm especially attached to these two pieces.  Owls and buttons are definitely my favorite accessories of the moment.

Many more to come.
