old stock

I'm planning on putting a lot of my older jewelry stock up for a clearance sale soon in my etsy shop. I feel like I have a ton of stuff just sitting around, not selling. I want to clear it out and hopefully, HOPEFULLY, get some new stuff up in my shop here shortly. So look forward to reduced prices on some cool and pretty things. :) And look forward to fresh and exciting changes.

: just to name a few ;)     Sometime this weekend will be the big markdown day.

A Beautiful Mess and Siam Orchid

check it out, everyone! i'm on A Beautiful Mess!! My faaavorite blog! i came across elsie's blog 2 or 3 years ago. i work at hobby lobby, and our store sold her "love, elsie" brand scrapbooking products. i fell in love with them, so i googled "love, elsie." and found A Beautiful Mess! i've been reading religiously ever since. <3

elsie is such an inspiration to me. really.

i made these nifty little buttons, so you too can share a link with the world! ;) hehe. copy and paste the code from the left sidebar to your blog. pretty please! :D

and in case you want to know, this is how my day went:

if you recall, i set up a both at the Street Fair in Yellow Springs, OH a few weeks ago. the booths on either side of me were selling Thai merchandise. I thought this was cool because i'm really interested in asian cultures, if you couldn't tell.. anyway, one lady gave a business card, and i emailed her a few times, talking about her shop that she's opening in New Carlisle, OH. well my bff, amber, invited me to go shopping with her today, then mentioned that she would like to check out the store, the Siam Orchid, and i was like, "heck yeah! let's go!" :D the store is even cuter than i had imagined! they have really cool authentic Thai merchandise at greeeat prices. unfortunately, they weren't open yet, (grand opening july 3rd) but the owners were there and let us in to look around and chit-chat. i didn't take any photos, because i thought it would be a little weird of me.. maybe next time?

on my shopping list for next visit:

• painted mango wood bangle bracelets (its super hard to find bangles that arent too big, and these fit just right!)
• ceramic essential oil diffuser
• maybe a ring or a pair of earrings??

i cant wait to go back!

MY NEW BRAS!

over the years, ive come to accept and embrace the fact that im not stacked like a a barbie doll. when i was younger, i used to think that no boy would ever like me because im a little on the tiny side upstairs. i remember the day i came home jumping up and down with excitement because i had fit into a B-cup rather than an A-cup. that was freshman year of high school. im older and wiser now, about the body-image things, but i was still wearing cheap, uncomfortable B-cup bras from target.

at the mall, my friend and i wandered into Victoria's Secret - a store i very rarely shop at, since im kind of a frugalista. but i was pretty fed up with my crappy bras. they were gapping really bad in front and riding up in the back, problems i'd had for years. so i asked a worker there for advice.

she said it may just be the "shape of my breasts."
"like.. flat and saggy..?"
"..well, yeah.."
"great.."   *i dont like this lady, just for the record*
she measured me and told me i was a 32A: the bra i had worn when i was in 20 pounds lighter, and in the 6th grade. i was bummed, needless to say. she brought me over to the fitting room, to another worker, who measured me again. she took me back and gave me a 32A to try on, and like i suspacted, it was entirely too small. i saw her reaching for some 34Cs to give me, and i was like, wait, wait, im in a B now and its gapping, how would going UP a size fix that?

but it did. oh it did. i, miss angie may, with suzanne of victoria's secret as my witness, am a proud 34C.

i bought 2 bras, costing me almost $100 together. but its so worth it. unbelievably comfortable. perfect. they fit like a glove. like a boob glove. :]

and i danced around my room last night at 1 am in my undies and new bra, singing, "i'll never buy a crappy bra again! never ever ever! hahaha!* happy.
