carnaby street

Definitely not my best treasury, but I think it's fun anyway :) Dedicated to the-place-to-be in 60's swinging London! The whole time I was making it, I couldn't get the song from Smashing Time out of my head..

warm and toasty

I was feeling particularly freezing tonight, bundled up in two sweatshirts with fingerless mittens in front of my computer, so I decided to put together a little treasury to make me think warm thoughts. If you're feeling particularly chilly as well, perhaps this will help you too! :)

The ballad of Lucy Jordan

New etsy treasury I put together, inspired by the Marianne Faithfull song "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan." It's an incredibly wonderful, (and heartbreaking) song.. if you haven't heard it, here's the link to listen on youtube.

I also made this one today, with no theme whatsoever except for the colors and awesomeness of each individual photo/drawing.

day dreaming

No theme to this one except that I love everything in it :) A lot of the items came from my etsy favorites and if I had the extra $$ it'd all be MINE! :-D

we are star stuff

I can't even begin to describe how much I adore Carl Sagan. I'm a huge fan of his Cosmos series, and probably learned more from watching it than I did during my 12 years of science classes in school. He had such a passion for science and history that you couldn't help but be fascinated by the subjects yourself. In fact, if I wasn't so awfully backwards when it comes to math I'd be ditching the pencils & brushes and picking up a telescope this instant. I wish so badly I could spend my life contemplating the universe, looking at the stars and following in Carl Sagan's footsteps.

come september

New etsy treasury :) This one is inspired by the Rock Hudson & Gina Lollobrigida film Come September. (if you haven't seen it yet you're totally missing out!) That wedding dress in the top left corner makes me rethink my dreams of elopement ;-) Or maybe I'll just elope in a gorgeous white wiggle wedding dress! hmm..

the truth is out there

When I was a teenager, I was *obsessed* with The X-Files. I had the "I Want to Believe" poster in my bedroom, Scully & Mulder action figures and I published an alien newsletter that my friends pretended to read. It wasn't until last month that it dawned on me that I could re-watch the entire series on dvd now. (I know, sometimes things take a little while to click.) So a few weeks ago I started Season 1, and I've been plowing through at least 2 episodes a day ever since -- sometimes 6 or 7 if I have a lot of work to do at my computer one day, and I can keep the episodes going repeatedly in the corner of my screen.

While it's totally revived my obsession, watching the show does have its drawbacks. Each little noise at night is definitely an animal/human mutant stalking me from behind a door. The raccoons that cross my path on my nightly walk are genetically engineered in the preschool nearby (that's just posing as a preschool, it's really a secret military hospital for strange experiments), and my irritating cough is actually an alien virus transmitted through my tainted tap water. The show can really get into your brain!!

Anyway, I put together this etsy treasury as an ode to the show. And yes, I was watching The X-Files while I made it ;-D

don't look now

another new treasury! of course with 800 gazillion things to do, I spent like 6 hours today doing treasuries :-p Anyway, this one is a tribute to the 70's horror film Don't Look Now starring Julie Christie & Donald Sutherland. Exceptionally creepy in a hundred different ways, and since Halloween is this weekend, now is the perfect time to watch it. Don't say I didn't warn you though -- it'll scare the pants off of you!

how to steal a million

new etsy treasury :)
an ode to one of my all time favorite movies (and the one that got me started on classic films) - How to Steal a Million with Audrey Hepburn & Peter O'Toole

the season finale

I made this treasury after watching the Mad Men season finale last night. I expected one thing (the Joan thing) and totally did NOT expect the other thing (the Don thing) .. I'm trying to make this cryptic so that anyone who hasn't had a chance to watch it yet isn't mad at me :) But seriously I can't wait until next year to see what happens next!

If you did watch it, see if you can figure out why I picked each item in the treasury! :)

she gets too hungry, for dinner at eight...

I made a treasury on etsy! yay! I don't do this often, so I thought it was cause for some celebration :)

Actually, I really only did it to procrastinate (unfortunately procrastination is one of my chief character traits) ... I have oodles of work to do, and found myself spending two hours putting this together instead of tackling the important things on my to-do-list. Oh well, at least it wasn't two hours spent aimlessly refreshing my email and twitter, which is how I normally waste time.
