Happy Halloween

Wishing everyone a fun, safe, (and maybe a little scary) Halloween!

Thursday, October 21

I will be heading to Julian, CA with my family this Saturday. 

Floribelle will be closed for the day.

We will be stopping at a few favorite vintage/antique shops along the way

and will be looking for new treasures to bring back to Floribelle.

It's nice to take a little trip once in awhile. 

New surroundings, different atmospheres.  

And the Julian pie.....Mmmm.....what can I say?!

I hope you have a great weekend. 

Enjoy the fall weather, take a walk, breathe the fresh air.  

I know I will!

Friday, October 15

I know, I know, it has been awhile since I last posted.
I am not good at posting regularly, I see.
I try, but life gets in the way and I postpone blogging for later
and sometimes later takes MUCH later!
Sorry!  I will do my best in the future.....

It has been slow, slow, slow at Floribelle the last 2 weeks.  I have been keeping busy making stretchy bracelets.  Oh, I am definitely addicted to this!  I am a searcher of beads and trinkets and have been known to take apart necklaces to get to the beads.  I believe that I suffer a little from ADHD and making these bracelets is good for me.  Really, they are quick (generally), every design is different, and I don't get antsy while I am making them.  I will have tons to sell at the November Community Bazaar!

Yes, I am in love with making bracelets.  

If I sell some of them I won't feel wacky for making so many!

It can't be all bad, though, if it calms my nerves, right?

Here are some finds from around the internet

Someone painted a portrait of my cat!

Mmmm...Mast Brothers Chocolate

Just in case I don't post again for awhile, I hope you have 

a wonderful weekend and enjoy some time for yourself!  :)

Happy October

I love October.  The weather here in Yuma finally starts changing. 

A little cooler, not many more triple digit days left now.

This morning I have the windows open, and my lace panels are blowing with the breeze. 

Lovely and refreshing.  It is a gift to be able to open the windows after the long, hot summer.

There are some new Halloween inspired items at Floribelle, too. 

Necklaces and Dia de los Muertos calaveros night lights made from gourds. 

Stop in and have a look if you are in the area.

Vintage Stamp Giveaway!

Sweet dreams....

Love these notebooks

I want a place like this in Yuma!

(maybe a rented room at the Yuma Art Center?  Hmmm.....)

This and this is why I love graffiti

I hope your weekend is wonderful.  I will be at the shop today from 11am - 5pm.  

Come by and visit!

Tomorrow we hope to begin our Halloween yard decorations. 

I will share pics when we are finished.

How about you?  Share your ideas for Halloween!
