Halloweens a Comin'

Wow 2 posts in one day...what is going on here?
Just quick snippets to show you some Halloween related pins this season!

Candy Cats are new to the shop this year ~ so far I have made a few different colors : )

 Some Little Witch Hats to get you in the Mood!

Scary Ghosties coming to haunt you!

Shabby Creamy White Pumpkin made for a friend

After I took this picture of a Haunted House pin topper I decided to paint the windows white.....but didn't capture that part ~ just imagine it if you can : )

 I hope everyone enjoyed this short post. Halloween is so fun! I've been batting around the idea of being Marie Antoinette this year complete with a bloody neck....ewwwwie! Gross huh!

Last Day to Order Pin Toppers!!!!

Sorry.....didn't mean to freak you out with the scary make up but I just had to post this picture of me taken over the weekend at my friends house (Matt & Kathy) for their Pre-Halloween party!!! I dressed up like a Corpse Bride/Vampire!! It was so fun coming up with the make-up and hair. I'm not wearing a wig! That's all mine!!! And tons of hair spray! Do you see my pet Raven on top of my head? Too bad there wasn't a better shot of him. He's beak up staring at the ceiling in this one.

So today is the last day to order pin toppers that you would regularly see in my shop!! It kind of feels weird not posting new designs today but I figured since I will be closed until November 16th I might as well save some new designs until then!
I'm pretty excited about Re-Opening on November 16th! The shop will be stocked with a lot of "Grab & Go" types of gifts - so what that means is no waiting 2-3 weeks before I ship out your order!!!! I wish I could spill the beans as to what you may find in the shop but it's a secret for now!!!!

There will be about 20 different pin toppers in the shop during the holidays but please note these will take the normal 2-3 weeks to complete before shipping. I'm going to try and get some stick built up but as you know these little cuties are very time consuming so we'll just have to play it by ear : )

Halloween Part 2 Pin Toppers

I have been so excited about debuting these pins because I love Halloween so much! So here they are! A cupcake topped with a witch's hat, a duo of candy corns and a spooky little Jack-o-Lantern!
Please note if you would like to purchase them and you live outside of the US the last day to order is October 5th. If you live within the US the last day to order is October 12th. Stop on by my Etsy shop Pinks & Needles - OPEN on Mondays only : )
Have a lovely day everyone!
PS I hope everyone's thinking about what they are dressing up like this year. I keep going back and forth between a vampire (because I'm obsessed with the Twilight Saga) or a dark character you might see at a masquerade ball.....hmmm.......

Once again a bit far behind

Well I can never stay on top of things - especially these days. I guess I should probably say that since hubby is planning on being in S. Africa for business very soon there seems to be a lot of stuff needing our attention. I know.......bad excuse but it's True!
Well 2 Mondays was my "Ode to Mark Ryden"! I absolutely love his paintings! He's a master painter with an incredible imagination! Please check out his website when you get a chance: Mark Ryden
As for yesterdays pin toppers....Halloween is right around the corner! Can you believe it? I really love that time of year when things start winding down here and I know cooler weather lingers somewhere close : ) So in saying that my theme for pin toppers was Halloween Part 1! Witches hats, black apples, scary skulls and couple of other goodies!
Come back to my Etsy shop next Monday for a real special treat! The theme is "Gnome Sweet Gnome"...I think these are by far my favorites!
