falling from the branches of the trees.

hiatus. i know. work is like... work. you know? i'm doing what i love but no one likes long hours and when i get home i just do not feel like blogging. i don't want to force myself to do it, either. i want it to be organic or else what's the point? i have to remind myself why i began this and i know it wasn't to have another chore. anyhow a few things...

firstly, sold my first dreamcatcher on my etsy page! really thrilled about that (even opening my etsy shop is news to any blog followers). right before i moved to Philly my friend put on the huge Open House fundraiser (i'll post pics eventually), and a number of artists and musicians exhibited their work etc. it was a total blast. anyhow, my dreamcatchers were on display their but this is just me rambling, my new shop is called GoldDustDreams.

okay also this is just a random outfit post, not sure how frequent these are going to be any more... the editing got funky, but i like it. had to resort to photo booth because i left my camera chord in brooklyn for literally a month. speaking of which, Halloween pics (yes, Halloween. remember that holiday? the one before Thanksgiving that happened like a month ago?) still yet to be posted.

(acrylic/angora thrifted sweater - salvation army, lace with flounce blouse - h&m, vintage levis shorts, fairisle socks - Century 21, leather wedges - nine west, crystal necklace on brass chain - loyalty and blood, crystal/unicorn horn/vintage beads necklace - cult of secrets --> this is the necklace my friend, Kristin, gave me as an exchange for the dreamcatcher!!).

you may say that i'm a dreamer. but i'm not the only one.

a new batch of handmade dreamcatchers. i'd say i have enough now to start selling them. this all white one is actually for a friend of mine from when i interned at Opening Ceremony. her name is Kristen Oshiro and she makes this amazing jewelry and when she heard i made dreamcatchers, she suggested we do a little trade. i was so into the idea and finally we started working on our respective gifts. i am SO excited to see what she pulls together, she's using a unicorn horn pendant and i couldn't be more excited!! check out her blog, Cult of Secrets. i just love the idea of artists trading things just for the sake of trading art, don't you? no money involved, just an appreciation for each other's craft.

i couldn't be more pumped for this weekend. yes, it will be bittersweet as it is my last weekend in brooklyn, but at least i'll be leaving with a bang. friday i'm having a going away house party at my apartment, then saturday morning i'll do some packing, then in the evening i'm getting my second tattoo by the amazing Michelle at Saved Tattoo, then at night i'll be at yet another South Slope Open House where i'll actually have my dreamcatchers on display over the music area. it's going to look SO cool with little twinkle lights and the works!

(something a little different i'm trying out. i quite like it actually! i might keep this one, hang it over my bed in my new apartment).
