Boo!

The boys on Halloween

The prettiest Purple Flower Fairy

Ronnie was too busy trick-or-treating with friends to be in pictures, but look at her booty!

You can guess which mom took that Ghiradelli off her hands (and the heath bar and peanut m&ms).

Liz Lemon

We are all happy 30 Rock is back on (especially Edwin)! Thanks to Lovely at your Side for featuring my Liz Lemon necklace!

Splash of color

Fairytale Letters

More playing with pmc. A little irregular, rough around the edges, chipped right off of a rococo museum wall.

And while I was at it, I made another Under Her Charm chandelier pendant.

Find them for a limited time in my etsy shop.

Grandma's attic

You know when you go through your grandmother's jewelry chest, and find all those sentimental charms that don't really go together, but kind of do?

Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins

We get crafty around Halloween time!

Scenes from Treasure Island

Yesterday we went to the Treasure Island Music Festival (sans children). My favorites were She & Him, Broken Social Scene, The National and Belle and Sebastian. Here are some pictures in hipstamatic.

She & Him ("She" is Zooey Deschanel, not sure who "Him" is)


Ferris wheels are made for hipstamatic


Chandeliers, too

Fairyland

We love Fairyland in Oakland, and today we got to go with Granny and Grandpa Arnie. While the kids were busy exploring, using magic keys, and watching puppet shows, I was playing with my iPhone Hipstamatic app.






Yes, the Alice in Wonderland exhibit is my favorite!

Four of a Kind Friday!

Ronnie, Ben and Lila looked so similar as babies (and still do), that I used to have Three of a Kind Thursday on my blog, where I matched up pictures, and you could hardly tell who was who (or whom?). Here is an example.

WELL, here is the first Four of a Kind Friday! Of course, there won't be any more Four of a Kind Fridays for about 20 more weeks, but here are their profiles at minus 20 weeks, in chronological order.

Ronnie


Ben (ok, a little blurry, but trust me, beautiful!)


Lila


and Baby Ostrin 4.0!

A day at the beach

Labor day at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk with Grandma Susie and Grandpa Terry.




For the kids, Santa Cruz is beach,


prizes (each won a stuffed dodo bird!) and rides (no fear, including Lila).

For me, Santa Cruz is fried artichoke hearts with ranch dressing. Mmmm.

Something new for him

Start planning for the holidays! A perfect customized gift for Dad, your guy, your recent graduate and more. This money clip is all sterling silver and can be stamped with your message.


Here is a subtle way to say, "I love you!" to your guy. This one is nickel with 3 sterling hearts soldered on the edge.
