christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat!

I cannot help myself. I have already started watching Christmas movies and I am so excited to decorate my new home! We are still in the process of getting things together and moving. The other day when we went by the office to drop of the deposit, we stopped back by the new apartment and went inside, imagining where we would put the couch and where the bed would go. I think that is a memory I will have when we're old and sitting comfortably in our wrinkles. Someday when we've "made it" we'll look back at our struggling mid-twenties and how excited we were to get the beautiful one bedroom with the wood floors and cute kitchen, and how we went and bought eggnog and brandy to celebrate. I know what is happening now and I'm not taking it for granted. This is a happy time.

The best part is starting fresh! This is the time of year, (since living in LA, moving has been an annual thing for me) that I get to go through my tupperware and throw out the mismatches. I am actually wrapping my dishes and vases in paper this year as I pack them. I think that means that I must be growing up. I remember when I moved to West Hollywood my mother helped me and in a fit of laziness I carelessly placed knifes in a trader joe's paper bag and one of them poked through. It looked like I was setting traps to kill someone! I have learned my lesson. I just have to finish some orders and then I will be heading home for thanksgiving. This month has flown by. I am so excited for turkey and family and seeing my cousin's little chunkalunk baby boy. I am so blessed.

We're Moving and acting and shipping and packing....

Okay I am calling this week, Brooke's week of background work/The Naked Bird's Big Move SALE!

My new kitchen, how charming is that?!

Starting tomorrow, I am working background for the first time because this little birdie is packing up shop and moving from Studio City to Toluca Lake and bringing her birds with her. Yay! we found an apartment, it's so beautiful, I'm so in love! We can't have a dog which is the only downfall but I'm still heartbroken from loosing Buddy over a year later so maybe I'm not ready anyway. And hopefully I'll be too busy! Okay, so I've got less than 2 weeks, with Thanksgiving right in the middle of everything, to work and sell and put down the rest of the deposit and rent and move. Impossible? Possibly. Hopeful? I am! We can do it!

And desperate times call for desperate measures, so.......I AM MARKING EVERYTHING IN MY STORE DOWN BY AT LEAST 20%! Even my very favorite pieces, even made to order, even newly  listed things. Everything is on sale from now until December 1st and on that day, I will resume everything back to it's normal price and life will go on as it always does. What's more? For THIS WEEK ONLY I am giving you a free shipping code, my sweet, wonderful, amazingly supportive followers and fans! Are you ready? Here it is!

Many apologies for the delay in results. I am finally getting over a horrid flu. Take your flu shots everyone! I completely missed Halloween and I've still yet to get out to the store and scrounge up what little halloween candy is left. My pumpkin is sitting pristine and untouched. I WILL still carve it. Maybe I'll make a Christmas pumpkin. It'll work.

Yay, it's wednesday and do you know what comes on tonight? American Horror Story!

Tissues and Ibuprofen,
Brooke

halloween bellies, craft shows and bloopers

I should be working on stuff for the art show right now. I have Sun, Mon, and then it will be here Tuesday night! BUT I have some fun things to share first.
Okay so after we won the Sunkist contest, Cameron put together a blooper reel of our shoot. Its so funnnnnnay!

I am so sleepy, I had 2 celebrations today spanning a good part of Los Angeles but they were so fun and went so well. I've got two more tomorrow and then I can really just focus on the show Tuesday! Speaking of which, here is the flyer for anyone in the Los Angeles area!

It will be lots of fun there will be free drinks and treats catered and you can browse local artists and not have to pay for shipping! How wonderful is that?! It's my first big girl art show that I'm doing on my own so it's pretty exciting! I missed the deadline to do Unique LA but I'm sure it's better that I go check it out before jumping right in.

I've got to be at another celebration tomorrow at 10:30am so I wish you all a good sleep and leave you with Happy Halloween wishes. My roommate let me "face paint" all over her beautiful child growing belly. What a wonderful canvas....

Baby Aidan James kept kicking me where I was painting!

Special Little Feature

What an eventful week. I just got back to the central coast after a long weekend in the bay working soooooo many wonderful parties! I lived in my car Saturday and Sunday, changing from a cowgirl to a fairy to a princess...a very successful trip! And I was able to spend time with my sweet Auntie!

Last night was the first full night of sleep. I am now waiting on my car. She had some trouble starting this weekend, poor overworked thing, and now she's in the shop. So sad.

But, I just wanted to share this wonderful blog, herlittlemister, who just recently featured my zombie head cupcake toppers and now is promoting my giveaway. Speaking of which, leave a comment here for a chance to win! Anyway, Kate's blog is soooo sweet and thoughtful, and she features such wonderful things for mommy's and anyone who likes adorable things! I'm definitely following her now to get inspired and you should too!

Pray for my car!!!!
