New Favorite Quote...

So, I was watching "Out of the Past" this morning for what was probably the tenth time. By the way, if you haven't seen it, it's a must-see. In my opinion, it's in the top 5 all-time best of film noir...

As I was saying, I was watching this movie (procrastinating about all the things I should be doing) when a line in the movie came up that I had never caught before. I couldn't believe I'd missed it all the previous times, and it is such a fabulous line. Of course, the film is filled to the brim with excellent one-liners, but this particular line is my new favorite quote:

"A dame with a gun is like a guy with a knitting needle." So awesome.

Thanks for checking in, pals of mine. Hope you're enjoying your holiday season...xo

Brock Street...

I'd like you to meet my brother, the apple of my eye. Isn't he beautiful? Let me tell you, he's as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside. And so very talented, in so many ways. Am I prejudice? Perhaps. Am I exaggerating? Not in the least. You'll see what I mean if you visit his amazing blog, Brock Street. He'll get you jonesing like no other.

Above are some examples of his decorating style, and his home. He is such an inspiring man. He'll make you want to go through each and every room of your house and make it perfect. His taste is impeccable and he loves thrifting and digging out treasures just as much as I do. He's the best person I've ever gone treasure hunting with. He finds beauty in just about everything, and never misses an extra special hidden item.

And let me tell you, no one knows fashion like my brother. He could whip anyone into fashion perfection in no time flat.

Truly. The best brother. Ever.

Top Tweet of the Day...

A Financially Unstable Mess, But At The Liquor Store They Call Me Ma'am. Print by Mincing Mockingbird.

Top tweet of the day by mmockingbird (aka Mincing Mockingbird), via Twitter... I actually have a tie for best, both by Mincing Mockingbird.

"I have difficulty displaying naked courage. I get scared thinking that there is a day when McRib will not be available."

and...

"Snow-capped mountains behind palm trees? I don't pay to live in a super expensive city to have clashing exterior decor!"

Hilarious, as are most of mmockingbird's tweets. Not only is he an artist with command over all beasts of the air, he has command of twitter as well.

Thanks for checking in, friends! xo

The Uniform Project (and me)...

Day 215. Tu, December 1, 2001.

I'm so honored to have my Wallflower Brooch on The Uniform Project. Sheena is wearing it as a very chic hat and it makes me all kinds of happy. Doesn't she look amazing and beautiful?

Exciting news! For the entire month of December, any donations you make to The Uniform Project will be doubled! All that's wanted for the holidays is 175 kids in school.

Check out some of my other blog posts about The Uniform Project, and thank you so much for taking time out of your day to visit...xo

New Additions to Fringe '09 Fall/Winter...

The Scarlett Piffl Brooch in bubblegum pink.

The Out-of-Print Cowl in taupe and cream.

The El Grande Cowl in solid cream.

This being the busiest time of year for Fringe, I seem to have less time for the build-up of designs in my mind and on paper, the pile of half-way finished items silently pleading for me to make them whole, and the new inspirations whispering in my ears, threatening to escape me before I can write them down. I need a clone or two, as well as at least 12 solid hours a day, 7 days a week to make all of my Fringe dreams come to fruition. In the meantime, here are three new pieces from my Fall/Winter Collection to check out...

I hope those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wondrous, love-filled holiday...

Thank you for stopping in, darling dears...xo

As Seen on The Uniform Project...

Day 179, Mon, October 26, 2009.

Day 203. Thu, November 19, 2001.

As you probably already know, I’m a huge fan of The Uniform Project. I’ve written several posts about it. I was so moved by the idea behind this project, that I sent several Fringe items to them as donations, including this El Grande Cowl and a flower brooch. I’m so honored and truly thrilled to share with you Day 179, a.k.a. Lil' Red Riding Prude and Day 203, a.k.a. Cowl Play…Yay!

Sheena has raised over $30,000 for her very worthy cause. I can feel the love, can't you?

Thank you so much for stopping by, dear ones...xo
