"Tink was not all bad: or, rather, she was all bad just now, but, on the other hand, sometimes she was all good.

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Liberty Boblett for submitting the randomly chosen 837th entry. Trees may be beautiful in every season, but they're especially exquisite in autumn. Even after the leaves have fallen, bare branches silhouetted against a late October sunset are stunning. Deanna of You've Got Maille has captured the essence of a full moon rising above an ancient oak. She's giving one away to a lucky nightsky gazer. The wire tree pendant is made of winner's choice of black (as shown above) or bronze craft wire. A mother-of-pearl cabochon gleams through the gnarled branches. The design twists and spirals around a wire frame to represent the eternal cycle of life. Each pendant is handmade, so like real trees, no two are exactly alike. Deanna's shop is filled with unique chainmaille and wirework. Get lost in a metal forest of flower earrings, scale mail bracelets, fantasy chokers ... even chainmail hackey sacks and dice bags! It...

You'll be the fairest of them all if you give your best friend a Snow White necklace from Life is the Bubbles . It's no fairytale - Brandy and Kathy are really letting me host another gift card giveaway for them. This time they've increased the prize amount to $30 so the winner has the option to pick a Disney accessory for herself AND a Christmas present for a loved one. Magical bottle necklaces aren't the only gift ideas available at Life is the Bubbles for $15 or less. A fantasy bookmark or miniature book charm ornament would put a spell on any bookworm. Earrings and key chains are always a popular choice for anyone.

My blog sponsors will put a spell on you this Halloween season! Branch out to Faerie Moon Creations , Beadmask , Life is the Bubbles , Viridian Muse , Pencils and Fireflies and Four20moon Tie Dye for spooky gifts. Faerie Moon Creation's sweet Halloween Witch bookmark prefers treats to tricks so she'll try her best not to lose your place in a terrifying tale.

A beautiful chainette-style tassel is tied through the hanging tab. The overall sleeve height is 8 3/4" and the bookmark inside measures 2 1/2" by 7 1/8". Beadmask's "Boris" bat mask design features simple, classic lines that are flattering on men and women alike! Each mask is sculpted from premium tooling leather, then hand painted and sealed with a protective topcoat. Andrea currently has one in stock already painted with...

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Carizza for submitting the randomly chosen 220th entry. No need to be careful when wishing for free art by Amalia K - it just might come true. Amalia is letting one lucky winner choose two 8x10 prints from her Etsy shop, The Wish Forest . Her illustrations are truly whimsical! Andromeda the Stars Keeper, above, or another charming character would certainly brighten up any wall. All reproductions are printed on high quality 230 gsm matte paper and protected by a glossy sheen for a beautiful finish. Amalia titles, dates and signs the back of each fine art print. Nothing makes Amalia more happy than to draw and paint her days away. Fortunately for her, she has a fairy Godmother to help her stay on that path. She's been working independently as an illustrator since 2003, shortly after she had her first daughter - and tomorrow her third baby turns 1! Working from home opened up so many doors of possibilities, including a digital...

"I love you like a fat kid loves cake. You know my style, I say anything to make you smile." - 21 Questions by 50 Cent Ahoy! The candy bar layercake above is just a taste of why I haven't been blogging or commenting very much lately - the Ogre, I and our trusty crew pillaged together our pirate wedding in less than six weeks. I shall be sharing more treasure from our September 29th celebration as soon as the tide will allow.
