It's Chrrristmaaas!

This is my 2009 Christmas effort. Some might say lame, most would say tacky. The fake tree compliments the fake flowers, no? Shame you can't see the effective sparkly lights, I didn't know which setting to use on the camera - can you capture the sparkle on camera? Hopefully I'll learn by next christmas.

I ♥ Etsy

I am addicted, this US site has so much amazing vintage and is sooo cheap compared to the vintage shops over here. Even with shipping included! These are my latest finds..

These leather boots came first in the post...

..Then the pretty buttercream sweater with peter pan collar...

...Next was this cute lil' googly owl brooch..

..This leather belt I got for £5.00 (inc shipping)!!! Dirt cheap..

..The gold Maria star necklace I got made was a bargain too...

...Last to arrive - my musical notes sweater, ♪ ♫ ♪ ♬...

BIG

We received a delivery at work today - around 10 BIG boxes. I'm not even exaggerating when I emphasise the word 'big' with big bold capital letters. Let's say each box was about the size and weight of a BIG chest of drawers. So anyway, thankfully our security man helped take the boxes in while the delivery man watched. It was just me and another girl at work today - the other 2 girls were off sick (well that's another story!). I popped my head outside to see how many boxes were left, the delivery man standing in the doorway of his van spotted me "HEY YOU! Come here and help!" He shouts. What a horrid man I thought to myself as I walked towards the van frowning at him. "Why don't you carry some boxes? Do you expect me to do it? I just deliver" He says impolitely, I look at him holding my arms open and shout back "DO I LOOK LIKE I CAN CARRY THESE BOXES???" it's plain to see I don't have the physical strength to carry the boxes, seriously! Let's make this clear - I'm not one of those girls who is worried about chipping her nails or getting her top dirty, I'll get stuck in and do what I have to do if I can, but this man was expecting me to lift these BIG boxes by myself - while he just watched, what an a***hole. The security man who talks like Rocky backed me up and told the man to just stop talking and help him at least take the boxes out of the van, he did so, begrudgingly. Grrr!

Day of the Dead

On November 1st and 2nd, the Mexicans celebrate the Day of the Dead (All Soul's Day). Rather than it being a sombre event usually associated with death, it has more of a 'family reunion' atmosphere with bright colours - pinks, yellows, greens, orange - you name it... Like a sweet shop explosion! When I was at school we did a project about this, I remember being fascinated with the amazing colours and vibrant decoration used for this occasion like the joyous little skeleton figures - calacas (Tim Burton's characters in Nightmare Before Christmas are very calaca-like), the sugar skulls and artwork. It's a technicolour halloween!

A sugar skull mound - yes you can eat it!
