    Would you just look at this ridiculous kitty costume!? Tickey Bootique has all kinds of silly photos, perfect if you need a smile.

    This skirt! Perfect for fall.

    Squirrel sweater! That’d actually look super cute with skirt above.

    For anyone out there looking to make friends who also like cryptids!

    My recent adventures in dump digging (read about those here) have me obsessed with bottles. I would absolutely scream if I dug up a poison bottle like this! Also – a green one + a red one! Ahhh!

    LOVING this dress! I’m picturing it paired with a jean jacket and some boots.

    Okay but how rad is this bronze tooth mold!?

    19 boxy bags hit the shop earlier this week, including some awesome ‘Halloween’ themed fabrics. (Halloween in quotes because I like bones and things all year long!) Seriously, how rad is this glow in the dark one?!

    I seriously just love Joules raincoats so much. This starry one is perfection. I’m still a fan of this bee one too!

    Professor’s bow tie is looking a little rough these days so I was browsing for a new one (because he can never go back to being naked now!) and spotted this one. Isn’t that the cutest!?

    Aren’t these rings beautiful!?

    Link love…

    • On the topic of cryptids, Cryptid Crate!
    • I’ve got a cardigan crush.
    • Spent all my time worrying and all I got was…
    • This spiderweb jumper!
    • I bought my second medical torso last week and now I basically need a whole collection of them. Look how incredible this one is.
    • Swooning over this black and white striped bralette.

    Happy Friday! xoxo

  • dump digging treasures

    by Kaylah Stroup September 12, 2019

    Since my first little foray into dump digging, it’s basically all I’ve thought about. There’s just something really spectacular about digging in the dirt and unearthing old things. That coupled with the fact that my nieces and nephew are also super into it makes it the most fun ever. Our Sundays are essentially reserved for …

  • perfect display for heirloom rings!

    by Kaylah Stroup September 11, 2019

    When my mom passed, I inherited her wedding ring. I wore it for a month or so before determining that I felt better keeping it somewhere safe. It’s not really my style and I don’t actually enjoy wearing very much jewelry. I briefly searched for ideas on how to nicely display a special piece of …

  • ghost town – Winton, WY

    by Kaylah Stroup September 4, 2019

    Throwing it back to June’s massive road trip again today. Check out the bottom of this post for links to previous posts. After a short stop at a neat old cemetery and some ooh-ing and ahhh–ing at wild horses, our next stop was the ghost town of Winton. Just to reiterate, we really went into …

How cute are these air plant necklaces? I found this ring display box last night and just about squealed. I’ve been trying to think of some nice way …
