Weeee – little pumpkin headed running guy! These will be incorporated into the Halloween Party invitation somehow. I am still waiting for my gothic-y chandelier stamp but it is back ordered. I'm about ready to give up on it.
I've discovered that Etsy is a great resource for buying small amounts of crafting supplies. Most regular e-tailers make you buy a minimum number of a particular item but on Etsy you can quite often buy just one or two of something. I'm fairly certain the Etsy sellers are just acting as middleman between the regular e-tailers and me but I don't mind paying a little more for an item if it means I don't have to order 11 more than I need. In the long run it saves a lot of money.
And I love supporting Etsy sellers.
I was actually looking for velvet millinery forget-me-nots because all the cool kids participating in the on-line art retreat use them and I just have cheapy Michael's polyester flowers for my projects.
I found an Etsy seller named Carmelos that has a great selection of 'artful supplies' and she ships lightening fast.
Not only did she have the forget-me-nots but the little pumpkin headed running men, which were so cute I had to get some of them too.
Cute little pumpkin man! Be sure and take lots of photos of your party so we can share in the festivities. If you haven’t been yet, the under-the-freeway sale is this coming Sunday. Perhaps you will find some vintage items for your party!!!
Andrea, Gorgeous flowers, I think I will have to buy some too. I did notice she will ship to Canada. I also love the little running pumpkin man.

Love the little pumpkin guy!!! If you are ever on 4th street in Berkeley, go to Castles in The Air. It has sooo many cool supplies like the ebay seller that you listed. I know you don’t live close to Berkeley, but if you happen to be in Berkeley, go to that store!
Love your blog! I do a lot of paper crafts, scrapbooking, and love to thrift and decorate…so this place of yours fascinates me….I am in heaven. cherry
you’re so right. I do support Etsy, too, and so glad we are more each day
I bought the exact same flowers from Carmelos because I was tired of buying new cheap ones.
