Sneak peek – beef up your bookcase

I’ve been whittling away at my bookshelves casually for a couple of months now. I posted about my need to revamp my bookshelves (here), and I finally got my bookshelves looking just right. For me. Why, do you ask, does it matter? Because I have OCD when it comes to design and neatness and I don’t feel complete until my apartment has been meddled with on a daily basis. Having unachievable goals helps a lot.

These are a couple tasters of  some of my favorite parts of my shelves. Pretty prettiness. Offish pictures will be up later this week. After I actually take them …

My favorite picks – happy Halloween!

1. Printable Russian Doll Halloween Garland from Happythought via Poppytalk. How obscenely adorable are these? Perfect for my Russian obsession. Очень симпaтичня.

 2. Fiendish Fancies by Mr. Kipling. The perfect amount of sugar for this weekend. I may have had a box already.

3. Black Skull Money Bank from Urban Outfitters. Is it weird that I would keep this out all year? Well I would.
4. Candy corn pillows by Lion Brand Yarn {you must join to view the pattern}. I wanted to crochet these on a larger scale as pillows this Halloween, but (wait for it) there was no orange yarn in Dublin. Anywhere. Big fat sad face.
5. Haunted House Silhouettes by Jeffery Rudell via Poppytalk. Further proof that I need a house of my own. Such a simple and extremely effective idea.
