Sadly, I can relate to this kitty and her bad hair, although as far as I know, I don't have hair growing out of my ears.....yet. Perhaps it would help if I were to get a haircut every three months instead of my usual birthday haircut and October haircut. Every year, I tell myself that I'll do better with my hair , but I never do....I still take dull scissors to my bangs every couple of months to get them out of my eyes. Usually by the time I actually go to the beauty shop (beauty shop? what is this, the fifties?), my bangs are sticking up at various heights and lengths, looking a little like, yes, yes, the kitty in the picture. Come to think of it, that was the expression on my face this morning when I got the unfortunate glimpse of myself in the mirror. (I usually try to avoid mirrors whenever possible).
On that note, I thought I would show off a really fun Etsy treasury that was curated by Gabardine Couture. She's from Switzerland and makes some really groovy handbags and other things too.
(Disclaimer: This treasury has nothing to do with bad hair or mirror avoidance, this is a super cool treasury whereas my appearance is not super cool and has nothing whatsoever to do with this super cool treasury and I don't know why I even brought it up).

In other news: I'm on an Etsy team called AREtsy, which is all Arkansas artists, and yesterday I was one of the featured artists on their blog! I was excited to see it, and if you'd like to check it out, here's the link: http://aretsy.blogspot.com/2011/03/aretsy-featured-shop-primal-painter.html

This is a very groovy, and bright treasury. It is cool!
ReplyDeleteUm super exciting you are a featured artist on Aretsy! You are starting to get noticed! :) Oh and I do believe your birthday is coming up so you are going to have to get that twice a year haircut pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteCould be a good month for you!
Okay... first of all, that cat picture is HILARIOUS!
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, congrats on both of those features! I checked out the interview... and I think that it's hilarious that out of your five favorite movies, four are some I LOVE! I'm obsessed with the LOTR trilogy, the "Alice in Wonderland" with Johnny Depp rocks, "Avatar" is amazing, and my mom, sisters and I are in the middle of watching the first "Pirates of the Carribean" movie- and it's sooo funny! Orlando Bloom + Johnny Depp = AWESOMENESS!
Forest, I'm telling ya, we're kindred spirits! My daughter Andi loves Orlando Bloom and I'm a Johnny Depp "Jack Sparrow" girl. I'm happy she likes the "good boy" from that movie, though, and that my weakness for the "bad boys" didn't rub off on her!
ReplyDeleteThanks Della, there are some very original shops in this treasury. It never ceases to amaze me how many awesome and unique artists there are on Etsy!
Andi, yes it's time for my bi-yearly haircut, and no I probably won't change the style from my usual 70's Farrah Fawcett style. (and don't try to make me!) Farrah's back in style, dontcha know, well maybe not for a fifty year old but I'm in deep denial about that so don't burst my bubble!
I agree, we are seriously similar... I'm glad I found your blog! :D
