Unique Clothing

One of the reasons I love crafts and handmade items is because they are unique.  I can make ten of something but they will all turn out slightly different.  And because the items aren't mass produced not everyone has one which makes them unique.  For this reason I tend to shop online and look for clothing or other items that other people in my social circles won't have.  (...I love it when I show up for work and a co-worker is wearing the exact same shirt I am!...)     

One of the coolest clothing stores online is ModCloth.  Ever heard of it?  I love their clothes!  They are vintage style with a touch of modern.  Every time I go on their website I find a million things I want to buy.  Great little dresses, winter coats, skirts, adorable tops and sweaters and they all have great item names.  Pretty on the Park Bench Dress, Looking Forward to It Necklace, Warm Welcome Coat...gotta love it!  They also have this page called Be The Buyer.  You can vote for the items you want them to carry.  So awesome!!  Take a look at some of the items below and you fall in love!

Gallon Ghosts

I saw the idea for these unbelievably cute ghost luminaries on Pinterest and made them for our work Halloween party. 

Required Supplies:
  • Empty water or milk jugs
  • Black marker
  • X-Acto knife
  • Candle or light for inside

All you need to do is draw ghostly faces on the water jugs, cut a hole in the back of the jug to insert the candle and you are done!  Instant ghost luminaries.  So cute!
