Your lips are so . . . cheesy??
So I was just looking at my WordPress blog stats, and was checking out the different search terms people have used to get to my blog. And one of the search terms that someone entered was “Cheetos lip gloss”. Um, I mean, who would even think of typing that into a search engine? But the bigger shocker was that when I actually did type “Cheetos lip gloss” into a search engine, this popped up:
It makes me happy just knowing that Cheetos lip balm exists. Or used to exist – it seems like there wasn’t such a big market for cheese puff flavored lip balm after all, because when I went to the company’s website, they no longer list Cheetos lip balm as one of their products. The company does make all kinds of other weird and tantalizing lip balms, however, including a totally delicious sounding Cinnabon flavored lip balm:
Mmmm, sweet cinnamon bun lip balm!
Finally recovered!
It’s taken a few days to recover from the wonderful madness that was the Holiday Handmade Cavalcade this past Saturday! The {New} New York Etsy Street Team can throw quite an event, as evidenced by the massive crowds and amazingly festive atmosphere at the Knitting Factory!! I sold waayyyy more than I have at any other fair, and I think that the event was a huge success for all! Now my only problem is trying to replace all of the merchandise that I sold, and updating my Etsy store with new items during the last few days of the Christmas shopping season! A good problem to have, I must say 
Some pics from the event:

The goody bags, which I helped stuff - they were amazing, and boy, did they go fast!
Only two more days til the Holiday Handmade Cavalcade . . .
Woo hoo!!!! It’s been a frenzy of activity here, what with getting ready for the Cavalcade this Saturday and spending most of last night stuffing the super-massive goody bags that 200 lucky early RSVP-ers will be getting. We also put together the five raffle bags, and let me tell you, I would seriously consider making extra purchases at the Cavalcade this weekend just to get more chances to win these insane prizes – the bags are stuffed with such beautiful products: full-sized soap, sterling silver jewelry, candles, beautiful notecards, beaded necklaces, and so much more. So come and check it out this weekend at the Knitting Factory!
On a different note, while I was in the suburbs this past week, I made a pilgrimage to one of my favorite spots, the Super Taget, and came across a snack that has truly blown my mind: the Archer Farms brand Dill Pickle Cashews. Seriously, pickle flavored nuts? Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? I’m gonna try to get some pics of these beauties and put them up here so you can appreciate them in all their glory.
Stumbling out of a turkey induced fog . . .
So I’ve finally returned to NYC after an excellent week-long Thanksgiving vacation to visit my family, and am frantically getting ready for the upcoming (this Saturday!!!) Holiday Handmade Cavalcade! I’m pretty sure I’m going to be creating jewelry right up to the last minute, since I’m hoping for a fantasticly huge crowd at the show this weekend! Did I mention the fabulous raffle prizes that’ll be given out as well? Five awesome and immense gifty baskets will be raffled off at the Cavalcade – each time you make a purchase, you get a raffle ticket!! These aren’t super-lame raffle baskets we’re talking about either – this necklace is similar to the one I donated for the raffle baskets:
