Agnes Welcomes You...

Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.~The Duchess

Drum Roll Please!!

DUDE. Agnes is finally available in a store front. I KNOW. Totes not kidding. Given that I have a fairly demanding day job I find it kind of difficult to hock baubles to Portland stores. Plus I have a fear of rejection. Mostly it's the rejection thing. I'M SENSITIVE SHUT UP.

Anyinsecurity, there's this little perfect shop in The Pearl called Little Things. And it's adorable. And the lovely proprietor is actually the nicest person alive. I'm not even saying that because she's now carrying a crap load of Agnes merch. She's legitimately super nice. Which, let's face it, is rare now a days. She came to the Crafty show & told me to bring some baubles by the store SO I DID and now she has a bunch of them. Pictures below. You should go check it out though because it's cute & fun & she's nice & has lots of cool stuff. And I'm smart. So you should do what I say.
How cute is she?! I know I know.
And the store is adorable & has all these great little display items...totes Agnes-like.

And a few of the Agnes items in the shop include:

Get 'em while they're hot folks!!! I love that little gumball necklace. So great.
Agnes OUT.

The Evolution Of The Bullet Necklace

For those of you that are familiar with my modus operandi (suck it honors english class), you know that I am a terrible procrastinator & more notably suffer from like the worst ADD ever. I looooooathe doing things more than once. Which is why making one-of-a-kind baubles are right up my sparkly alley. However, I realize that while always fun, it's not always practical to never offer people something simple that can be recreated. Right before the Spring Crafty Wonderland sale I did a little brainstorm sesh with my favorite Baer of Lettuce Press & we decided to vamp up my bullet necklaces. Shown below.

See? Amazing. I know what you're thinking...these are perfect, Agnes you're a genius. I know I know...thank you. BUT I kinda wanted to do something a little different so we decided to do some multiple chain drips from the bullet. The result? A FREAKING BULLET JELLYFISH MAN. Yeah. Sometimes I'm so clever I don't even understand what I'm doing anymore.


And earrings!!!


Soooo I previewed these little bad boys at the Crafty show and low & behold...HUGE HIT. Sold out. So now I gotta make more. Which I will be doing & listing. If you just HAVE to have one of these little industrial sea-folk, there are a few at The Little Things boutique which I will be blogging about next. Swoop em up people!!! Given my hatred for repetition I can't guarantee I'll be making a bazillion more of these. Just sayin...

FINE. I'LL BLOG.

I honestly don't know how people do this on a daily basis. I can barely force myself to shower each day, how so many people find time to blog is beyond me. Maybe that's the trade off...all you filthy assholes just blog all day instead of showering. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. And that shit is gross.

Moving on, I figured it was time to start blogging again because I'm getting the photoshoot itch & had a couple stores request some Agnes Baubles. I'm not entirely sure if this is noteworthy but it's certainly blog-worthy. Right? Totally. So below are a few shots from the pin-up shoot I did like forever & a day ago. And I'm posting that because I want to do another one. Because they're fun. DON'T JUDGE ME.

Future blog posts will include: new Agnes type baubles, Crafty Wonderland, Agnes Baubles to a store near you, things Agnes likes & why I think my cat is smarter than your cat. So you should totally come back.
Legit I took these like 7 months ago. That's terribly sad. But I promise I'll be better. Which is worth nothing because I'm all about empty promises. I'm trying, ok?
