Friday Faves - CountryGirlPrims


Halloween is almost upon us and I thought it would be a good idea to find a shop with some fun items for Halloween. Countrygirlprims, which has primitive folk art styled items, has a lot of fun patterns to make such cute things as primitive cats, or kats, and witch's boots for Halloween gifts or for decorating your home or office. But there are also cute primitive snowmen, so you can get ready for the holidays coming up in December.

I hope you enjoy browsing CountryGirlPrims .

Be sure to stop over at my Cherish blog on Monday for a new feature called Amusing Monday when I will be sharing jokes, humor, personal funny anecdotes, cartoons, even animation. Who couldn't use a good laugh on Monday? Then back here at No Stranger Here for What I Believe Wednesday. My Friday Faves will be undergoing some changes because I will start featuring some of my other favorites, such as books, authors, shops from Etsy as well as other sites and, of course, music.

Until then, have a great weekend everyone and take care out there!

Friday Faves - Halloween Fun!


Since it's already so close to Halloween I decided to make this an all printable version of Friday Faves. And what that means is that each of the following items can be downloaded and printed out for your use.

Have a Happy, Fun, and Safe Halloween!

Next Friday Faves will focus on Thanksgiving. Monday Music will bring the music of the Smashing Pumpkins. I know. I've already focused on them before, but, but they're all pumpkiny good and stuff, so they just fit right in to this time of year, in my opinion. Tuesday Tutorial will center on preparing for Thanksgiving Day.

Until then, have a great weekend everyone and take care out there!

In this week's Friday Faves we're going to do a little Hallowe'en Party partying. We're going to look at some really great Etsy items that will give your Halloween Party just the right touch of haunting appeal.

But first another great seasonal song, something a bit more sinister this time. Yes, we have Marilyn Manson doing a cover of the Danny Elfman song This is Halloween from Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas.

Friday Faves 28 - Hallowe'en Part 1

Whether you look upon this time of year as a time of the Solstice Celebration, a religious holy day or you have children with a penchant for trick or treating or you're just a big kid at heart with an equally big sweet tooth -- Hallowe'en, or All Hallow's Eve, is a great time of year to enjoy the changing weather and maybe take in or throw a party or two.

In this week's Hallowe'en Friday Faves we're going to look into some costumes for you, your little ones and maybe even your significant other.

But before we get started, let's listen to a great old tune that's always been a favorite of mine. It's campy and fun and I'm sure most of you will recognize it (and probably already know which song I'm talking about). Well, you know, I always did like a good mash.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPJNXVZh2ns

Now, let's go shopping!

Hallowe'en Costume Shop Number 1
Shop name: Tulletime
http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tulletime?ref=seller_info

Okay. I have got to say, have you ever seen anything more precious? This Fall Fairy costume is so colorful and gorgeous! And talk about the photos you could take of your little one! Completely sweet! I love the name of this shop, too! Very clever.

http://www.etsy.com/listing/81609535/autumn-fall-fairy-tutu-dress-wings

Hallowe'en Costume Shop Number 2
Shop name: Noni's Closet
http://www.etsy.com/shop/NoniCloset?ref=seller_info

And for your little boy, how about a sweet little Native American style costume. This one brings back memories for me, because my mother made a Seminole girl's costume for me when I was about 10 or 11. I absolutely adored it! The wonderful thing about a costume like this for a child is that, like me, they could also wear it for show and tell and teach their fellow students a little something about the Native Peoples of the Americas.

http://www.etsy.com/listing/15581633/native-american-boy-costume-size-6

Hallowe'en Costume Shop Number 3
Shop name: So So Hippo
http://www.etsy.com/shop/SoSoHippo?ref=seller_info

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you're a The Tudors fan -- I've got just the costume for that King Henry in your life or that little bit of King Henry in you! This costume is both manly and sophisticated and is priced very reasonably.

Hallowe'en Costume Shop Number 4
Shop name: Ticci Rockabilly
http://www.etsy.com/shop/TicciRockabilly?ref=seller_info

http://www.etsy.com/listing/71475840/pin-up-striped-dress

Hallowe'en Costume Shop Number 5
Shop name: Matti's Millinery & Costumes
http://www.etsy.com/shop/MattiOnline?ref=seller_info

Not to worry! I didn't forget the fur babies out there! This next costume is for Fido -- or even Fifi. It's an adorable ensemble that you have just got to see to believe!

Wellington is quite the handsome fellow, too!

http://www.etsy.com/listing/58057989/three-3-musketeer-dog-pet-costume-outfit

Well, we've come to the end of another Friday Faves. I trust your costuming needs have been met and if not there are plenty of other great costumes out there on Etsy just awaiting the click of your mouse.

Got any costume ideas that I didn't touch on? I'd love to read all about it in the comments.

Be sure to check back next week for another Friday Faves when there will be even more Hallowe'en fun to come!

Until then, have a great weekend everyone and take care out there!
