Cow Bones & a Plushie

Cow bones from Noir Leather.
Yes the real thing.
How, what, why?...
I don't know but don't really care...
cuz now they are mine, muhahahaha. ;)

BIG cute plushie from LIFT.
And his body comes apart. Fun!

Today the city of Royal Oak was having a BIG sidewalk sale. One store, Noir Leather, had lots of cool stuff including mannequin parts, old vintage knick knacks, and...bones. Yes, real bones. As in cow bones. I mean I HAD to get them. How often do you see REAL bones for sale? ;) I will keep one for my "collection" (not that I had any bones before today) and the other I will alter in some artsy way. Oh yes, and a great deal on 'em too! {5 dollars for both, wow!}

The other score I got today was on this cool PLUSHIE, from my favorite store in Royal Oak, LIFT. He is some sorta creature...the tag doesn't say what he is so I'm gonna guess he's maybe a caterpillar-whale-squishy thing. He IS super cute & cuddly...AND he comes apart too! How funny is that? I couldn't leave Royal Oak without him.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!~

Art Finds at the Salvation Army

Hey all! I know it's been a while since I've done a regular Blog post, so what better topic to talk about than art...and it being at a thrift store??? ;) The picture above is of the 5 pieces of art I got for only 5.25 (.99 cents each).

I feel in love with the frames (made out of plastic-wow!) and the artwork is pretty nice too.

Very pretty landscapes...but the artist didn't sign any of them...hm. That's kinda sad. Oh & there were still around 5-7 more of this artist's pieces left at the Salvation Army after I picked the ones I wanted. I thought I'd buy these for the frames...but hm, I might keep one or two (in their frames) because I think they are really pretty to look at.








I'm telling you the frames did not look plastic but they are. I like that this piece above has some texture. I think I prefer the silver frames over the gold...but the silver ones had flowers in 'em and I preferred the landscapes.



Oh yeah and THIS one. OK, I know I paint some creepy stuff but I just want to know WHY do people paint clowns?...maybe for children's rooms?...or just because they are colorful & amusing? (But to me-they are very creepy!) I felt like I HAD to get this one because I saw a "clown playing a violin" painting before & always regretted not getting it. So if she says it's creepy, why does she want it you might wonder? Because...because...it's so bizarre. :P

Enjoy your weekend!~

More of the endless supply of Cellphone Pics

I am doing so many 'random cell pics' because Tom (roomie) promised me we'd be getting our computer on Saturday. Well, he said he wouldn't get it up & running asap but that we'd atleast get it. But still, I wanted to get "rid" of these because I had so many in my phone that it was time for 'em to get uploaded. So there will be atleast 2 or 3 more posts to come soon. As for the picture above, I'd really like to know who's responsible for killing society, aren't you?


This spider lives in my rear view window. I swear I've had spider live there for years (atleast 10 years or so)...during the summer months. I'd like to think it's the same spider but I doubt that!

Taking a pic of him from inside my car...but facing the car. Sound confusing? Yeah, it was confusing to take this kinda pic. I couldn't really see what I was doing.

Waiting at the Meijer deli is sooooo depressing. There's not even a lot of people there but I probably waited 20 minutes for my number to be called. Ugh, I need to start bringing reading material when I go over there.

Bibi thinking she's going to get some of my dinner. That cute doesn't fool me! :) This is my wallpaper on my phone right now. :)

The boys playing Beatles RockBand (PS3). I couldn't finish the game. Well, not when Mike wanted to. He's a weirdo and said "We need to play NOW or we won't get the trophy." It's a virtual trophy I'm thinking. And I just sang 15 songs. I needed a break but he gets a little hardcore. So Tom picked up the drums (I sang...and I never play the instruments cuz I suck) and they finished the game...and got the trophy. I would definitely rent this again. Lots of fun!

So I own a few Beatles records...yes vinyl. Most are very old...HELP is the only one I bought brand new. I used to have this thing for 'em (so did my best friend in high school)...and we watched all their films and just couldn't get enough of 'em. So my memory was pretty good when it came to singing a lot of the songs. Oh, I put the vinyl out for 2 reasons: One to give us good luck...Two to add some Beatles love. Awwww. :)

At the Main Art Theatre when Labyrinth was playing at Midnight. This area used to have a payphone but all it is now is a small little place surrounded by mirrors. Hmm...interesting.

My friends (Adam, to the left, Brian, far right) outside the show. We got there early and there was lots of people inside, not to mention it being warm. So we stepped outside before showtime.

I really do have some artistic friends. A friend of mine designed all the posters for the Midnight Movies this year. And he's a pretty awesome artist. Always has been since I first met him in junior high...so it's no surprise art/graphic design is something he is going into. So I asked him for this poster on the door and he said I could order one at the front desk.

I also really REALLY liked his Spirited Away poster, so I ordered that one too. They were only $2 each, not bad. And I bought frames for 'em because I don't want to put holes through 'em to hang up...they are just too nice for that. I might go see The Lost Boys at Midnight next week and might get the Midnight Movie poster for that one too. It's really cool. They are all cool but I must limit myself!

Outside the Main Art Theatre. I own this poster. It's on one of our walls in the house. Love this image lots...so much detail, love it!!!

Some Gloomy Bear merch is at Hot Topic. Not sure if they're getting in more. They have a couple necklaces (like the one pictured above), earrings, and bracelets. I HAD to get the necklace above...it's awesome. And I'm showing my Gloomy love. Cuz I just love him to death!

Thought this was a HK Halloween shirt. But no. Think about it. Yeah, Michael Jackson has even taken over Hello Kitty. I'm not cool with that. :( But the shirt is cool...just not why the shirt exists to begin with. I feel bad about his death but the merch is just out of control here in the US. It's nuts!!!

Weird things to add to your smoothie drink if you ask me. Like Bee Pollen, Wheat Grass, Spirulina, or Stripper...which I have no clue what those last 2 things are. Odd. Hm.

The COOLEST Hello Kitty Halloween Stickers I've seen yet. Love 'em love 'em love 'em!!!

Bibi likes Lil' Lambi and Lil' Lambi like people or animals too so it works out. Again, Bibi never looks too thrilled when I take pics of her relaxing.

Enjoy your day friends and chat with you soon.~

Halloween at Target aka: Eve's Sanctuary

Just look at all this good stuff!

Small candy coffin tins!

I love this cute owl so much!

Mike walking around. And LOOK, he's wearing Halloween colors too. :)

Small lunchboxes!

Cute pouches!

Needless to say I want ALL these signs. Love the lollipops! Nice touch. ;)

Who doesn't want one of these cute Halloween baskets???!!!???

Well, there it is. AND, I WANT IT ALL!!! (And this isn't even close to everything they have this year. Non-Skelanimals stuff also.) I also have to say this is definitely the coolest Halloween stuff I've seen in a while. Target flat out rules! Just another reason why I think Target is one of the best stores around.

And Skelanimals are the just the cutest. I like Oliver the Owl and Diego the Bat the most. (And no, all these pictures weren't taken at once. But I figured I might as well show 'em all now.) And although I love Hello Kitty & Domo, I'm thrilled that Skelanimals are the theme this year. When I first saw this area I was like a kid in a candy store-there's so much to see and so many cute items. It's CUTE overload, ahhhh! Love the plushies, tins, pouches, and lunchboxes lots!

Hope you enjoyed these pics! Hope you have a good Wednesday and talk to you soon.~

Random Cell Pics

I love this cute lil' gothic (Lolita) hat. From Hot Topic. I wonder if my hair was styled right IF I could pull it off. Hm. But April can. I think they both look good on her. I made her model 'em for me. ;) Thanks April! ^_^

The little gothic hat.

The lil' clip...not a hat. I think the hat is cuter. What do you all think?

Wife: "Honey I'd like to go hunting with you but....I still want to look cute & feminine." Husband: "Meijer's has exactly what you're looking for, dear." Can you say tacky tacky tacky!!!???!!! Ugh...very ugly and just WRONG.

Red Robin (restaurant) is pretty good. A rare moment when Mike is using my camera phone.

Love this mirror's frame.

In the mall. But how many people can fit in there? Hmm...

At my work. I still have no idea what this means.

At the Salvation Army in Royal Oak. OK, the record sleeves are destroyed...but in the name of ART, and that's fine by me. April posing (for me) below. She's by BOWIE. See him? I like the owl cover too...I think that one was Rush. I think.

Bibi always looks so frightened in pictures. I don't know why. She thinks something weird is going on I guess.

Before going to an art opening.

What I got my friend Juno at her wedding shower (that took place at my work). I really liked that clock...and from TARGET, wooo hoo!

I'm not a fan of Bob Dylan, but I love this quote he said. At Blockbuster Video.

Bibi in our bed. Side profile. Do you like her collar? From.......TARGET. She's been wearing it for a few months now. Now I know why mothers take a million pictures of their kids...cuz I always love taking pics of my Bibi.

Enjoy your Tuesday friends. I'll be working tomorrow. So I wanted to post this tonight. Take care~
