Green soaps

Good Night soap. B&BW duplicate of Tranquil Sleep but the name isn't so fussy and I made it and stuff.










Mermaid Soap. I love this scent it's very Transatlantic Cruise Ship . But you know, without having to worry about mysteriously falling overboard. Seems to be happening a lot lately.



Both just listed, mention this blog when you buy and get one free soap with purchase of any two or more, your choice.

How cool are these?

Unbleached tea towels.



Just listed.

It's a little embarassing.

To be on a venue that says things like...

"Inspired by Equestrian Goth"

I told you the vampire thing was getting out of hand. Oh, Etsy. Is there nary an editor in site?

This has got to be an inside joke, right?

Always wondered what diseased rabbits look like? Probably a result of those carrots.



Um, I'm not seeing whimsical wonderland as much as I'm seeing really bad acid trip. Check out the chick in the nest and the two eating the green worm.




Jay McCarrol fabric, for the quilt that says 'Hey, I'm totally f*cking with you.'
Hmm, would you beleive it's on sale?

Fun with support

So I want to open another shop on a venue. Actually I don' t, I want to make sure no one else does because it will be on Artfire. When I entered my contact mail I entered it with *******mailto:*******bakery@aol.com not ********baker@aol.com as it should have been.


Here is the following exchange as a result of me asking them to fix the email for me.
---------------------------
Yes, it's true, I entered my email wrong twice when signing up and now I can't get in. My user name is ***** and my email should be mailto:vanillabeanbaker@aol.com" NOT mailto:vanillabeanbakery@aol.com

Please let me know what you need from me to fix this.

Hello there,

I'm seeing that vanillabeanbaker@aol.com is already registered to "bakery53". Please let me know how you'd like to proceed.

All the best


--------------------
Well for starters I'd like to know who is using my email addy.

holly

-------------------

Would you like me to swap the email addresses and you can use that one for this account instead"

All the best,

-------------

Does that have any information at all? I did NOT open that account. vanillabeanbakerY doesn't work it's too long to be an email addy of AOL. I don't want to swap anything.

What I would like is my email address that someone else used for who knows why to be returned to me. Is my personal info there? I never, ever opened that account.

Look at goatmountainarts. That is my acount, since 2006.

See, here is my bakery vanillabeanbaker.com

---------------------------------

Hello Holly,

The address that I'm seeing on the "bakery53" account is:
bob
mather st
San Diego, CO 92109 (United States)

It was only logged in to on the day it was created.

All the best,
--------------------------------

That isn't me. Please, give me back my email address. That isn't even a real address. Who do I have to talk to to have this accomplished because i don't think you understand the issue here. It's MY email address, cancel 'bob's account' because BOB isn't ME.

-----------------------------------------

I'm getting a little frustrated here, I have given you ample proof that the email address is mine. Please fix this problem because that account is fraudulent and I'm sure you wouldn't keep an account knowing this, right?

Now, wasn't that easy?

The undead are getting on my nerves.

Why is everyone a vampire wannebe these days? I get the whole 'Twilight' thing although in my regard it's more like "Beverly Hills 90210 Get's Gothic With It". Whatever, ok.

But to walk into every bookstore these days is the equivalent of trying to dodge sprayers at the perfume counters. Except is slayers and the vampires who love them. So far the only thing missing is "Marley and Me: Marley Lives...." the story about an untrainable vampire dog and the high hilarity that follows.

Undead teens abound. Although anyone who has one (a teen that is) will attest that it's hard to distinguish at times between the living and the undead teenager. Vampire writers, vampire families, some chick on a flying coffin, it's out of control.

I even think there was an undead Nancy Drew kind of thing going on with one series. Hard to solve a mystery when all your work is done in the evening, I'd imagine. It must be a bitch trying to keep your suspects awake enough to answer questions.

So, dear authors, enough already, put a stake in it, I'm done.

At least they weren't naked.

WASHINGTON — The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled by a fly in the White House.

PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."

During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.

"Get out of here," the president told the pesky insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.

"Now, where were we?" Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker."

Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.

Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."

Deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House has no comment on the matter.
