The First Friday Finds of Summer...or Something
So it's Saturday and time for the Friday Finds, since I wasn't home to do them last night. Instead, I was over at a friend's house, watching the movie Cursed, which was actually pretty enjoyable and fun. :) I'm not a big fan of Christina Ricci, but she did a good job, and it was a good-natured sort of tribute to werewolf (and other monster) movies.
The search for the mystery green stone continues. I found some yellow serpentine that resembles it, but only a few images that come close, and no other serpentine images fit at all.
Our first find is for my blogging buddy Rachel's site. I've known Rachel for about 2.5 years now, and she has always struck me as very conscientious and caring and very respectful of the world. I love her and am more than happy to link her clothing and accessories site, Sea of Stars Designs. I especially like the "Nature" pillowcase. :)
When I was a wee tyke, the one and only sugary cereal my mom ever let me have, and then only periodically and for a limited period of time somewhere between the ages of 3 and 6, was Quisp. You can not find Quisp anymore...unless you know where to look, and I am happy to do my homework for those of you who know the sugary corn goodness of (pre-Cap'n Crunch) Quisp as well as I do: The Hard to Find Grocer's cereal aisle. And the best part is that it won't cost you a cent more than it would at the actual grocery store. The Hard to Find Grocer has comparable prices.
Kitson shoppers, get real. If you're a Hollywoulder seeking status, Lisa Rinna's store, Belle Gray is the way to go. Seriously, Rinna has a good eye and is waaaay more in the fashion know than ANYTHING the horror that is Kitson will ever be, AND she offers personal shoppers. Not to mention fresh flowers, cookies, and a happy, girly atmosphere. If you're looking for a trendy boutique, I say spend your cash at one of Belle Gray's two Valley locations. I like her attitude and especially love she didn't feel the need to locate her stores in trendy Beverly Hills; the fact that Belle Gray urges you to support an Asian disaster relief cause is just icing on the cake. Now if only La Rinna would fall in love with some of my (Waterlily) jewelry and offer to carry it at a gorgeously high price, life would be grand; I could do a lot worse than for Lisa Rinna to wear my stuff in public. :) Alas, I continue to labor in obscurity...someday. Someday. :)
Finally. Just what the world needs: a teeny, tiny, utterly useless rubber "rain shoe" for $125. That's reality.
These are ridiculously expensive, and I can't help it, I want one.
All right, my cheeky little squirrels, I am off to make more jewelry (I finally got the ring thing!) and study for my driver's license exam. I also have the joy of inventory to do for the Waterlily stuff I've got ready to go, and taxes to prepare...meh.
Enjoy the "first weekend" of summer!
