Signs

Today, we became a store with not one, but two signs!

Why do we need two signs, you ask? Well, why the f*ck not? Maybe we'll just keep adding them until all of Quadra says "Polluted Pixie"! Just cuz we can. Or not.

Anyways, it's awfully pretty, and fun too.... like us, really.


Thanks go to our favorite artist Jeff Hallihan and his lovely helper "Poo Dog" for pushing us a bit closer to our goal of world domination....

Smiley Face,

Perfect Pairings: Shit Glued to Other Shit and some other things

Its a bit quiet around here today.... Lissy is at home with a bad cold, I'm lonely but happy she kept her plague ridden self at home. Nicely for her though, both rotten children went to school AND her husband was working, so she got the whole house to herself!!

For today's 1st Perfect Pairing, I have chosen my friend Sarah's favorite crafting; Shit Glued to Other Shit.  She threatens often to bring in shit she wants to glue for us to sell here in the store... Maybe if she meant more of this type of thing and not rocks glued to sticks, we would be more pumped on it.

I know what everyone is going to think with this next one.... Couples tattoos? Really Mandy?? Really? REALLY???  Yes, I do mean it.  I think they are fun if done right also they don't have to all stupid and all "We love each other forever and ever and ever"
Friends can have matching tattoos, so can siblings, so all of you nay sayers can beat it :)

Lastly, I'm gonna totally phone this one in.  Here.  Dudes and Kitties.  I like both of those things.

Nailed It!

I know this is super hard for all of you, our loyal supporters to hear, but Lissy and I are sometimes crap at things.  You gasped right then didn't you? I heard it, so don't lie!
Anywhoodle, Liss and I tried to be awesome and paint our nails in fun manners and diligently followed the tutorial. For the most part anyways.....  This is what we attempted. 



Lovely right? Totally adorable, and looks like your nails practically paint themselves no?  No is exactly right.  Sigh, it was a touch sloppy, a bit smelly and no where near as rad as pictured.....  Speaking of pictures, check out how we did and remember; Judge not lest we do this to you. Forcibly.

Our Colour Selection
Lissy's Masterpieces!
Mandy's sweet sweet job!


Three things we learned from this?
1. Refrain from having kids or dogs near you at any point.  Particularly if they have to pee and the leash is attached to your stool.  (The chair kind not the poop kind)
2. Paper reinforcements are way better than when we went to school.  Pre-stick them to your hand or something so they are less sticky!
3. If you have a buddy, use your buddy to paint your nails and vice versa.  Don't be a hero and go solo.
*Bonus tip: Don't test this out with dark nail polish and crappy remover :)



NAILED IT!!

Friday's Perfect Pairings

Okay, so I have decided to start something. On Fridays. Its called....
  
~Friday's Perfect Pairings~

This is probably fueled by my new obsession of Pinterest. Literally I am spending 3-4 hours a day pinning shit and looking at other peoples boards. Luckily most of this time is spent while at the store, also at least its February that I'm doing this in and not like, August. I digress.  So here are some perfect pairings that I am currently IN LOVE with :)



~1~
Guinness chocolate cupcake with Bailey's cream cheese frosting. OMG!
Because seriously? Who the hell wouldn't want 1 of those? I'm just kidding. I would eat 12.



~2~
My Cuppow





DAVIDsTEA: Glitter and Gold.




















At the moment, I am sad and disheartened.  It's because we are out of Glitter and Gold.  And we were not planning to order any more tea for two more weeks.  I cannot last that long. I'll die from longing..... sigh....
Oh btw, if anyone wants to order a special tea from DAVIDsTEA with us, check out their site, call us, Facebook us, smoke signal us or just come into the store and let us know whatcha want and we can all save on shipping :)  To make due, I am drinking Luscious Watermelon.  Its really good too, but doesn't have the same visual effect that Glitter does in a clear drinking jar.... Its shiny and sparkly and delicious all at the same time!


~3~



















So maybe I love plants and tea cups. A lot. The one to the left, I potted up yesterday.  Isn't  it adorable?The cup is vintage bone china from England.  I either got it from my grandparents collection that they brought over by ship when they immigrated to Canada, or from a thrift store.... The plant is Sedum burrito or Donkey Tail.
The plants on the right, I found on Pinterest. 

If you want to check out what we are obsessing about on Pinterest, you can follow our Polluted Pixie
boards.

I actually was gonna post more, but totally got sucked into a vortex and cannot pull away!
So Ta Ta for now!!
