Etsy Listing of the Week + Woodland Creatures + Stupid Beauty Trends

Oh, heavens, it's Monday. It's a beautiful Monday. A Monday full of possibility, sunshine, and stupid people.

Speaking of stupid people, you'll never guess what I found in my email inbox this morning. Or rather, what I was graced with. Living Social was kind enough to offer me a deal of REAL MINK EYELASH EXTENSIONS, for only 200 dollars! Normally 450 DOLLARS. Goody! Whattadeal! They assured me that "long, lovely lashes are always in vogue. Whether you're channeling '70s starlets or cutting-edge fashionistas, full, flirty eyelashes are always a beauty boon."

Thank heavens. I was afraid that attaching hair off of a glorified weasel to my face might be... out-vogue. Or a beauty bust. I'm not sure which is worse. *shudder*

In case you are having a hard time comprehending how stupid this is, perhaps some visual aids may be useful.

Somehow, somewhere, a series of humans took a look at this:

 And thought: Mmmmm. Look at that fur. I see...I see...I see some major eyelash potential there.
Then eventually this little bundle of fuzz turned into this:

"What the eff? Is that weasel hair on my eye?"

Let's go over this one more time.

From this:

"Eeeps! I hopes dee peeplz don't catches me!

To This:

"I am such a beauty boon right now. Oh god. My vogueness. It slays me."

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyhoo. Moving on to the part where I shamelessly promote myself.

I would like to prove that though I generally try to not kill cute fuzzy things in my ridiculousness, I do partake in many weird and frivolous activities. One such activity was wrapping my obliging friend's head in lace and making art with her gorgeous face. 

Meet Miss Holly:

~Yes those lashes are embellished. No, not with fuzzy cute animals. With indestructible synthetics. Duh.~

 So, go say hi to Miss Holly in my Etsy Shop, and take a moment to peek at the other moments of weirdness for sale there. Like this one, for instance.

And please, I'm feeling kind of alone in this--does anyone else think mink eyelashes are absolutely ridiculous, like, the bad kind of ridiculous?

Adieu!

Weekend Destination - Ferrari-Carano + Gazebos + Saruman + Pretties

Well hey there! It's Friday. Woo! I'm excited, howzabout you?

I've tentatively made Friday "tell-people-about-a-cool-affordable-place-to-have-fun-in-Sonoma-County-day". Perhaps not the catchiest title, but you get the idea.

So.

Ferrari-Carano. Fancy sounding. Expensive sounding. Certainly can be. But does not have to be. It's a winery in Dry Creek Valley with a FABULOUS Zen-inspired garden full of fantastic blooms, a cute bridge, and a GAZEBO. I LOVE GAZEBOS. As a matter of fact, when I was a wee one, my dad and I made up a song about said structure, and the lyrics were as follows, in a round: "Gazebo, Zamboni, Gazebo, Zamboni, gazebozambonigazebozambonigazebozamboni..." et cetera, et cetera. Anyway, so back to being fancy for free. This place also has a Tuscan style veranda looking out over the vineyards, a rad tasting room, and if you go down some very Transylvania-esque stairs, you'll find a "double-vaulted wine cellar with Austrian cobblestone floor and the Enoteca Lounge...". In case you are wondering, Enoteca sounds super intriguing and sexy, but literally means "wine repository". Admittedly less sexy. Good call, Mr. Ferrari. Or Mr. Carano. I'm not sure who made that call. 

If you are fan of photographing pretty buildings, Wine Country scenes, roses, flowers in general, visiting places that wish they were in Italy, or rubbing the nose of bronze boars, then you are in luck. Oh, and of course if you are someone who digs tasting, you can sip four wines for 5 bucks upstairs, 15 bucks down in Dracula's repository. Be warned, in The Den, there are always gorgeous women in maxi dresses (somehow not looking pregnant) and expensive looking sandals who curled their hair. I'm pretty sure they're vampires, too.

One more thing. If none of that intrigues you, then I challenge you to go and find Saruman's seeing stone. Because it's totally in the garden. 

Here are some pretties from the garden:

Lavender Rose, print can be found here

Marigold Madness, can be found here

Yay!

What are some other fun places you like to visit? 

What will you do with the seeing stone? I swear, it's there. You can stop thinking I'm kidding right about...NOW.

Happy weekending!
