French Bee, Rob Thomas & Thriller??

I have to start off by saying the I had the most fabulous time at the Rob Thomas concert at the Fox theater in St. Louis on Halloween!! The best. Most of you who follow the blog know my all time favorite band is Matchbox 20. I love Rob's voice and song writing! If you don't live in St. Louis and have never visited the Fox Theater it's one of the most beautiful theaters around. Built in 1929 it was reportedly the second largest theater in the United States.

The ornate interier is like nothing I have ever seen. After years of being closed the Fox theater was restored for 3 million dollars in 1982 it reopened as splendid as ever.

All of these photos curtosy of www.fabulousfox.com
You can find more photos under history at that link also!

Now on to the Rob Thomas concert! First I need to digress just a bit. To the girls that were on the mezzanine balcony that do not understand the meaning of rude...YES talking the whole time someone is playing music even if they are not the lead band is annoying. YES standing up in front of people that paid good money to sit is rude. YES texting through the whole concert is annoying and rude! YES running back and forth back and forth to the lobby during the show is RUDE! So the guy that yelled at you to sit down and you acted so shocked, believe it or not had a right to tell you to sit down! The world is not all about you princess. Okay...I feel so much better. They were not in front of us, actually next to us and it still surprises me how rude some people can be. Not caring for anyone but them selves...Okay really I'm letting it go lol. Rob Thomas opened his show in a Michael Jackson halloween costume singing thriller!!

Thank you to FairiesRreal91 for posting your video on you tube!

Yesterday I decided to watch "The Dutchess" a movie that for some reason I bought a while back and have never watched. I really enjoyed the movie and was reminded again how far us women have come. I really think she should have junk punched the husband like in What Happens in Vegas and said You KNOW why! LOL....okay getting off track again...so the movie inspired another Bee Paris Pendant...enjoy! Available on ebay tonight.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! xo Michele

My First Witch of The Season!!

Okay those that know me, know that I just can't WAIT for Halloween!!! I keep looking at the calender..is it time yet? how about now? You think it's too early yet?? LOL! I should just do Halloween all year it would make me a very happy camper!! So without any further yapping, here is my first witch of the season, complete with jet black swarovski crystal elements for hair!

Oh and check out the "moon" she's flying in front of..the vintage enameled watch face is by a watch company named New England!! How perfect is that????!!! She goes on ebay tomorrow night (thurs) for 7 days.
The other pendant that is going up tonight is another one of my all time favorites! It doesn't get much more frenchy paris looking than her!

Her skirt is filled with pearls, rhinestones, and enameled flowers. Only 5 days to bid on her! She goes on ebay tonight at 8 pm central time along with the angel from last nights post (I'm actually ahead of myself for once LOL. I'm not even sure how that feels!). There's lots more pics on ebay of both also :o) Have a great night everyone! xo

New Work

Now that summer is coming to a close, I'm trying to get back into the groove. I know the busy season is coming and I should be preparing for it! But isn't it just so much nicer to sit on the deck, enjoying the setting sun, feeling the evenings starting to cool, sipping a glass of wine...the party will be over in a month when I'm crazy because I was slacking off right now LOL! Oh well. I work well under pressure!! Here are some new things I listed on ebay A bracelet and 3 rings!

I think I've become the mad hatter!

The last post I put a teaser to the new Tim Burton version of Alice In Wonderland, which shows Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter (yum yum) this is what I think I have become totally mad!

Yesterday I was in a huge hurry because I needed to be at the hospital by 9 am for a ct scan on my chest (those of you who have been around awhile will remember that there was a lung cancer scare last year when they found scar tissue on my lung but of couse we didn't know that for months! so anyway they wanted to do a follow up a year later just to make sure nothing has changed. Okay now that you are all caught up with the story I'll go on lol) so I'm racing down the side road to the hospital, I get there at 9 on the dot which is no small feat, I sign in and wait to be registered. The young lady comes over and takes me to her cubical type of spot and has me answer all of the questions which she types into the computer. I give her the paper work that the doctor has mailed to me and she is very pleased that I have doctors orders. She get me all registered and then sends me down to radiology, when I sign in again and give her the other 2 copies of the docotors orders. I am told to have a seat in their waiting room now. After a few minutes the woman who checked me in calls out my name. I feel like I've won the lottery! Wooo Hoooo! Yay! That's Me!!! I'm going to get right in and right out of here and can get back on with the million other things I have going on!!! So I jump up and say yes! She says, Michele? I'm walking toward here...let's get this show on the road! Then she says, "Did you realize you are a month early?" WHAT??!!! That can't be!! I dig out my paper work and look at the date...No it says right here the 24th!! She says yes, dear the 24th of August! 8-24-09!!!!! ROFL!!! Yup I've totally lost my mind at this point!

I even said to you Luthien that I didn't know if my blog would be ready in time for the party! That's because I was thinking it was TODAY! I mean my dates are just really messed up at this point lol! Sheesh!! So I should be able to join the party NEXT Saturday!! YAY!!

Okay now for the good news! I managed in my madness to get two new items in my etsy store. I know that's not much lol! But it's a start right?? I have one more that I'll list tomorrow. Here are the two that are there now:


I'm going to try and catch up on some house cleaning today. We have also had a bathroom disaster where it's leaking water...we think from under the wax seal. That's not the bad part. The bad part is it's the 2nd floor bathroom so it leaked on the ceiling and the water was oozing out of the grout and one of the ceramic tiles cracked...are you beginning to see why I've become the mad hatter??? LOL Have a great Saturday everyone!! xo Michele

Boy the days are just flying by! I can't seem to catch up to save my life here! But I'm spending them the way they should be spent ;o) when I'm not working I'm at the pool with my son ;o) Hopefully it will be a summer memory for him. I sure remember my summers at the public pool! My best friend from high school and I spent every day of the summer at the pool just hanging out and it was right behind her house so we could walk there. Lots of memories there ;o)

Here's the art for tonight on ebay. Also look for more tomorrow night as 5 day auctions because I didn't get a chance to get the auctions listed last night ;o)


The Angel Heart reminds me of a fluffy sugar topped cupcake that is a yummy delight lol...I don't know what it is?? Maybe I'm hungry LOL! Have a great night everyone! xo Michele
