2 Months until Halloween!!

Sew Gracious has their popular Halloween "baskets" back in stock ~ but you'd better hurry they sold out quickly last year. You can hop right over here to the Sew Gracious Etsy Store. They also have cute key fobs and trendy lanyards.

I said that it was way too early to even think about Halloween ~ but everywhere I went I saw the cutest Halloween items. It's just like when I decide to go on a diet ~ I usually gain 10 pounds because all I think about is food.



This is a Gorgeous Halloween Card made by Julie at Fabulous Finds Boutique. It's a Marie Antoinette inspired Halloween Card and she also has some Halloween Tags in her Etsy Store. You can hop right here to see this Chic Card and all of her other Fabulous designs.

These Beautiful Flowers are made out of fabric scraps ~ aren't they adorable? They're made by Tracy and you can hop right here to visit her Etsy Store ~ tracybdesigns. She has tons of adorable designs.

This framed piece of art was made by "The Material Girl" who also has a store over on Etsy. It's made of reclaimed items that have been recycled into this work of art. You can hop right over here to see this Spider.

Pottery Barn Kids has lots of Halloween Trick or Treat Totes this year and they're offering free shipping. I think most of these Totes are $12.00 ~ except for the Shark which is $19.00. You can hop right over here to see them all. In addition to the Spider (pictured above) they also have the following:

Pumpkin, Ghost, Puppy, Bee, Skull, Banana, Ketchup, Shark, Alligator, Cat, Ladybug, Butterfly Tutu, Peacock Tutu and Fairy Princess Tutu.

Then I found these cute iron on appliques also on Etsy. They're only $3.00 each or right now she has 5 for $12.00 as an option. You can also choose your fabric for each of these appliques. Just hop right over here to visit Ella Ba Della's Etsy Store.

She also has a Turkey and Indian Appliques for Thanksgiving. I purchased an adorable pink gingham Bunny Applique from this Etsy Store ~ it arrived quickly and was so cute. She took great care to package it so that it wouldn't get damaged in shipping ~ LOVE my new sweet bunny applique.

What's wrong with Snail Mail?

Why can't we all just go back to Snail Mail? That's me up there in the picture ~ I'm always running to the Post Office Box with my letter at the last second. Sometimes our super sweet mailman will wait while I finish putting on the stamp and sealing my letter. He's been our mailman since 1998 ~ so he knows me quite well. He knows that I get "secret" packages that "we" don't want Mr. Bunny to know about. Any package that has a Paypal Label or an Ebay logo on it is a "secret package".

Do you think that this Computer era is just a fad or do you think it's going to continue? Wouldn't EveryBunny like to receive a nice lovely letter that you can hold in your hand rather than a plain"black and white" bland looking email?

Well, it seems like Computers are here to stay ~ so Mr. Bunny spent ALL day Saturday reinstalling everything back on my "new" Computer. It's really new now ~ since he had to install a new hard drive and all of my programs. I had no idea that it was going to take all day to get everything set up again. Poor Mr. Bunny ~ I know he would have rather played golf. I really appreciate that he spent his Saturday fixing my Computer ~ I would have never been able to figure everything out.

He had to install the new hard drive, Windows program, battery back-up/surge protector, printer, anti-virus program, email program and Microsoft word program. I'm still restoring all of my pictures and documents back onto my computer from Carbonite. I'll do a separate post about how I'm a lucky Bunny that I had Carbonite.com. I just want to make sure that everything is there before I sing their praises.

I'm not sure whether my emails were backed up on Carbonite ~ I haven't found them yet. So, if you've emailed me in the last 2 weeks ~ please email me again. If you'd like for me to send you a letter that you can hold in your hand ~ just send me your physical address. I have some Gorgeous new Stationary that I'd love to use.

Lovely Lilly Pulitzer Designs ~

I've always LOVED Lilly Pulitzer designs ~ each and every single one of them. However, I've never been able to afford any of them ~ even when they're on sale.

Well, I found an Etsy Store that features Fabulous handmade items made out of lovely Lilly Pulitzer fabric. Lynn Whelan designs and makes gorgeous "everyday" items that are TDF and yet affordable. She's a perfectionist and each of her designs is meticulously made with great attention to every little detail.

Here's a link to her Etsy Store ~ just hop right over here. And ~ here are some of her Gorgeous Designs:

~ Luggage Tags ~

I LOVE the colors in this Scarf which is entitled ~ Strawberries and Chocolate. This Patchwork design features fabrics from several popular designers. Doesn't this Scarf just scream FALL!!! AND ~ this scarf would go with so many different outfits.

She has tons more in her Etsy Store ~ hop right here and get you some Lovely Lilly.

Whimsical and Tres Chic Signs ~

Paula over at Castle and Cottage Signs made this Fabulous sign for me. It's a new sign that she made to look like a Vintage Antique sign. I wanted to have a crown, pink roses on it and rather distressed ~ so that it would match our 110+ year old "Chippy" Cottage. She still has to add the Glass Glitter on the Crown and add the wax to it ~ but I'm thrilled with the way it turned out. I can't wait to see it in person!!

Here is a closeup of the roses at the bottom of the sign. It also shows the color better which is a light sage green. Just hop right here to see all of the signs in her Etsy Store.

This Patisserie Sign is available on her website ~ Castle and Cottage Signs ~ hop right here to see her lovely website. This Gorgeous Sign is one of my favorites ~ so I've added it to my lengthy wish list. She also has lots of signs for Weddings, french inspired and cottage themed ~ they're all so unique and Tres Chic.

I needed a sign for our Garden Gate and I found this one over on the Terry's Village website. It's on sale for $9.99 and is so adorable ~ the perfect size (9" X 16"). It's difficult to find a Bunny sign that doesn't have "Happy Easter" on it. You can Hippity Hop right over here to order one of these signs for your Garden Gate.

Is it just me or do the Holidays come and go more quickly than they used to? In the good old days ~ I would decorate weeks ahead of a Holiday. This year ~ I think I decorated for the Fourth of July ON the morning of the 4th of July. Guess I should go ahead and put out my Labor Day Decorations tomorrow.

Do you know SomeBunny that still has their Christmas lights and/or Decorations up from last Christmas? This is the perfect year round sign for those of us who are living their life in "fast forward". AND that little Bunny is too CUTE!! This Sign is only $7.99 over at the Terry's Village website ~ hop here. I just found out that Terry's Village is a division of the Oriental Trading Company ~ which is celebrating it's 75th Anniversary.

Math isn't for EveryBunny!!

I love Math because it's "black and white" ~ no grey area. Writing is so difficult for me ~ putting my thoughts on "paper" and trying to sound eloquent. I'd much rather do a math problem than answer an essay question. Well ~ so I thought until Baby Bunny showed me her Math Homework. It was for her Algebra I honors class and I didn't have a clue whether her answers were correct or not. Of course ~ to be honest I haven't been able to help her with her Homework since she was in the 3rd Grade.

AND being stressed out ~ have you ever been so nervous that your mind goes blank. I have ~ countless times and it's an awful feeling. You just can't focus because you're so nervous. Well, if you haven't seen this Video of Patricia Heaton on the Millionaire TV Show ~ you simply must watch it. I can relate to her in this situation and yet I found it quite amusing.

Math isn't for EveryBunny!! She's a Fabulous and Funny Actress ~ she just was so nervous she couldn't focus on the question.

Godspeed Discovery ~

We're waiting for the Night Launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery ~ which is scheduled for 11:59 pm tonight. I LOVE night launches when the Shuttle lights up the sky and the Indian River!! I just don't know if I can stay awake until midnight ~ don't know why I'm so tired tonight. Guess I'll update my Blog while we wait ~ since I have tons of info to post.

The image above is from the Space Flight Now website. You can hop over here and read all the details about this launch.
