Ooh La la French New Wave

As you know I am a sucker for old 1960 French New Wave films. 

It inspired me to dress up and do my make up like a french 1960 film.

Have fun with fashion and make up no matter how old or young you are!

Life is one big dress up party! love JAR

Thrift Store Thursday: Random Things

Today I went to my local Thrift Store around the corner from my house. They didn't have much but I did find some random items that I really didn't need. I found an vintage Teddy Ruxpin lunch box from the 1980's but some stupid kid put dumb stickers all over it. Too bad!!! I just found 4 items this trip! I used my cat in these pics she like to smell everything that I bring into the house!

I found this 1980 belt for $2.00

a bag of doll heads for .99 cents

The doll heads come in White tan and black

I will use these for an art project soon!

Little Twin Stars from Japan ( Sanrio)

I love it!!!!

My greatest find ... A Vincent Van Gogh book for $2.00

SO BE IT!

All That Glitters and My New Obsessions for NOVEMBER

November how I love Thee!!!!! I also love glitter and yummy smelly things that make me happy! The cooler weather and the jackets and stockings I can now wear out daily. Just add some glitz and I'm good to go! Here are some of the items I have purchased for myself for November. I went shopping at LUSH and bought some great smelling bath stuff. I went to Forever 21 and bought some sequin and Glitter stuff. I went to Ulta and stocked up on fake lashes and the new Muppet OPI nail polish. I also dragged some other stuff right out of my closet to wear this month!

PS. I'm saving my Oddity Friday blog until my cat skeleton comes in. I hope it's Saturday. :)

Art Show

This past Friday and Saturday was my 2nd year of being in the fine arts show at the Arts Alliance in Clear Lake. Last year was fun but somehow this year was really amazing. I got to meet some of my fans from my Face Book Art by Jar page. I also got to meet some other great artist and I sold 9 paintings at this show and tons of merchandise. Next year I am definitely going to have more in varieties of small fun merchandise. I never thought I would make it this far with my art by Jar business or even my talent. I really like to see how my art makes people smile ..... that means more to me than any dollar sign! So far I have sold 30 or more paintings since 2008. I never even expected to sell even one painting!

DAY ONE FRIDAY

Booth set up

Face Book fan she bought Gypsy painting 1 of 3 that I had made.

Face Book Fan she bought Art Deco Owl Lady

Face Book Fan she bought the Owl Mask Painting with Frame

It was really cool to meet my fans from face book in person and I'm glad they have a piece of artwork to hang in their house!

John and Yoko were the main attraction of the entire art show!

Elvis and Priscilla were second best!

My Love for Goldie

One of my favorite movies from the 1960's is Cactus Flower with Goldie Hawn. In 2 more months my hair will be blonde and cut into a 1960 short crop. I love Goldie's hair in this movie! I am obsessed with the 1960 style at the moment from fake lashes to mod fashion. Goldie was so cute!!!

Tomorrow I will be attending my art show for 2 days. So I will not be posting my Oddity Friday blog. But starting next Monday I will be back to regular blogging.... this week has been crazy hectic. 

SO BE IT!
