More glass & blue threads

Glass

I brought home a couple more jars for my kitchen re-do. I really like the cracker jars with lids by Anchor Hocking. They make 3 different sizes that are perfect for my selection of grains and baking supplies.
This time I only picked up 2 at Goodwill, but I found some smaller jars that will fit my baking staples.
I was also lucky enough to find a replacement lid for my laundry detergent. Earlier in the week it fell off the jar as I was preparing to do laundry (forehead to palm. Then *sad face*). The jar I bought is a Heritage Hill glass jar, also by Anchor Hocking with a glass lid.

Blue 

So, I have this wedding coming up. The couple getting married is close to both B-chan and me, and after the wedding we went to in July and the Epic Fail that was my dress, I had to do something different.  

I found the dress at Target on clearance and decided to get something to cover the shoulders because the event is outside in a beach town in October. I just happened to find the perfect purse to accompany the ensemble, too. I think the total cost must have been around $30. I already have a pair of suede pumps with a chunky heel to go with it. It's an outdoor wedding, so I'm sure they won't sink as badly as skinny ones. Anyway, the purse just spoke to me; it's not like I was looking for it. I liked how unique it is.

Wishing for Pixi Dust

Pixi Belle At Target

What's a girlie mamma to do?! I stumbled upon this make up palette at Target the other day. If you know me, you know I am a Tinkerbell fan, but not just any Tink. She has, unfortunately gotten rather cliche and a bit ugly recently. Case in point, if you look closely at some of the mass merchandise at a certain  _Mart, which shall remain nameless, the pixi's face is deformed looking or her smile is just plain wrong! When you go back to Disney's portrayal of Tink, she is sassy rather than commonplace. She exudes an aura of elegance and feistyness that is absent from those images. Forgive me, I shall soon get off my pixie dust covered soap box.
If my memory serves, the Peter Pan movie was produced around mid-century, a time in which women excelled at glamor, elegance, and grace. The images produced these days, coupled with sayings like "spoiled" or "it's all about me" tattooed all over, rob Tink of her personality.
But then there is that rare jewel... My "Tink Coture" shirt, and this palette I found at Target. It is simply a relief that not everything Tink is ugly any more! I want it simply for the picture of the lovely Tinkerbell.
