Releasing the Snow Storm...

I know that sometimes my blogging is all over the place, and one day I'm bright and colourful while the next I'm darker and more dead looking... This time of year as the weather is changing and the winter whites and greys are taking over from the Autumn colours... Soon the reds, golds and browns will be a thing of memory and the whites will be altering the landscape... All it takes is a simple magical gesture from the fae, and everything changes... 

When the Fall Feels hit, and the air starts to get colder... The Fae are slowly starting to get weaker and beginning to show signs of decay, so even though her flowers and leaves are beginning to turn red, her body is decaying before her eyes... All she needed to do now was uncork the bottle, release the Stellar Dendrites and watch as they take a Leafy Ride on the wind... 
Since things need a little more showing off, I've added the ads for the Leafy Ride from Aardvark, and the Progeny Bindi from Six Feet Under...

Spells on Quills causes Mandrake Mischief!

August has begun, and there is still a few signs of the summer to come... At the moment it already feels like the Autumn has arrived, and that means we're one step closer to the best holiday of the year HALLOWEEN!! It's August, It's nearly Halloween... It's Augween!!! 
So pretty soon school will be starting up again, I always loved school but one of my favourite things that happened around this time of year was when Mum said "let's go shopping for school supplies"... It's not just regular school kids that are going back, the wizards of Hogwarts are needing to get their supplies... The Wizarding Faire has opened on Diagon Alley... There is magical shopping to be done...

In Diagon Alley, at the wand store Olivander's - yes I checked that it was correct with my Harry Potter obsessed sister and is actually a Sorcery Photo Stage from [piXit] - where the Wand Shelves - from Quills & Curiosities for Wizarding Faire - are made of walnut and stacked high with thousands of boxed wands in all different shapes, sizes and magics... The owner has popped off on a little vacation to visit a friend in need, and left an apprentice in charge who has taken it upon herself to enchant some of the Candy Quills - also from Quills & Curiosities - that are perfect for writing love notes... Admittedly the magic in the shop HAS caused a few little problems... Mandrakes running everywhere, its a Mandrake Mischief - thanks to the adorable new release from Aardvark, also available now at the Wizarding Faire - and there is chaos all around... 
On a side note, I have to show you these amazing earrings that I'm wearing. They are the Vision Earrings from Six Feet Under which are available now at Planet 29... They are amazing, and because my picture didn't show them off as clearly as I'd hoped I'm adding the ad below... Aren't they pretty?!

The Circus comes to Town...

The circus rolled into town... Actually it has been in town for a while now, but I've just been too busy to get to it!
Seraphim is hosting an event called "Cirque De Seraphim", and it is filled with all kinds of awesome goodies, including my favourite irresistible treats - plushies or stuffed animals you might say! The event is a charity fundraiser for the ASPCA, with chucks of sales from many items going to the charity. If you look hard enough you will also find one or two freebies dotted in amongst the donation items... Including some that had me in stitches!

When I was younger, in my home town, we had a local "celebrity" - a homeless woman people referred to as the Bearded Lady of Guildford. Rumour was that she had at one time been a bearded lady in a circus, she was ALWAYS seen in a fake leopard fur coat, and she always talked to herself. In some ways I was saddened by seeing her, but in others I was in awe - and a little scared especially when I was really young - of her attitude when it came to the people that were rude whenever she was around. So when I was at the Cirque and I found this Consignment Chita Beard - which is a freebie I should add - I couldn't resist paying tribute to her! The fact that I realised just how much I looked like the Conchita Wurst of Eurovision 2014 fame, was just the icing on the cake!
I dressed the look in a simple black skirt and wore a brand new - released for the current round of The Witching Hour - top called Miss Cordelia's Blouse in a Burtesque colour from Show Me On The Doll. I accessorised with my favourite new ring set from (Yummy) called Elemental, which you can pick up from Collabor88 for the month of November.
Lastly but by no means least - and with a subtle intro to a song that I will be including lol - my little geek luftballon elephant friend... He is available at the Cirque De Seraphim too, and with his little balloon - wait for the link to the song... - maybe he wants to try to rise up, perhaps phoenix like? LOL, YAY I made a corny link to a song...
