Ravenslair Sale and Ravenscroft Reopening

I know it's been a while. I have a long post that I've been working on, but I wanted to get this information to you guys.

Ravenslair is having a two day sale that starts today. The sale ends on Monday, so get it while you can!

Here's a beautiful fork with a blue Swarovski crystal:

These hairsticks are sure to hold up the most heavy hair:

This one is a gorgeous dark blue. I love the dragons on either end:

Also, for anyone that misses Ravenscroft's unique moon forks, she's coming back! You can "Friend" her on Facebook to stay up-to-date on what she's doing.

Ravenslair is having another sale, but this one is a little different. Raven's grandfather's tiny poodle had a nasty run-in with a deer. Raven is having a sale to help her Grandad out with what are sure to be exorbitant veterinary fees. (This coming from someone who paid $1200 to save my 8 pound poodle mix, Daisy, from hemorrhagic gastroenteritis.)

I have a soft spot for animals and encourage anyone who wants to help and benefit from the sale to head on over to Ravenslair.

Here's a really neat hair sword. It's called The Vorpal Sword (from Alice In Wonderland, which Alice used to slay the Jabberwocky,) and it's one of the few hair swords I would actually consider wearing myself. (With a baby, hair swords aren't really a good idea.)

Here are some pretty finishing pins. They're heart shaped celtic knots.

This is one after my own heart; turtle finishing pins. Living in Hawaii, Honu (sea turtles) are a big deal out here. I love that they aren't colored, so you can wear them with anything.

Anyway, the sale is going on until now and will go until the store is empty. Save between 10% and 35% on all items.

This is the poodle, Nikki.

He looks a lot like my own Daisy and Nikki will certainly be in my thoughts tonight.

Ravenslair is having a two day sale! The sale runs tonight (this morning?) from midnight to July 9th.

This is a "Unicorn's Horn" hair stick and would be absolutely perfect for a chinese bun. The ends are pretty even and it looks pretty sturdy. I've been looking for a pretty solid hair stick for my Chinese buns that aren't huge (the stick, not the buns, of course.)

If you're wondering what the heck a chinese bun is, here's a photo. This is double butch braids into a chinese bun (the hair stick is from Beetnik505, who, sadly, seems to have closed up shop):

The last time Raven had a sale, she sold some of her Texas Twisters. This time, she's done one better. Check it out:

I think with some dangly earrings, these things would be great for wearing during a night out on the town with your significant other (or your lady friends.)

These last ones are really cool. In a way, they remind me of spoons, if that makes any sense. I really love them, and, although I'm trying to be strong, I might end up buying these for myself. They're so unique and just beautiful.

Remember, the sale only runs for two days, so if you see something you like, you should snag it now!

I thought I would pass on the news of a sale from an Etsy store I buy from. In honor of the one year anniversary of her first sale, Ravenslair is having a sale. Everything will be at least 20% off and some items will have a bigger discount starting June 7th.

If you've been eyeballing a certain item in her shop, now is the time to pick it up!

Check out this pretty Foxglove Fairy Shelot with matching hair stick:

Here's a set of hairsticks after my own heart. Inspired by Pele, the Hawai'ian Volcano Goddess, these hairsticks are the vibrant reds and blacks of flowing lava and hardened black igneous rock.

 

These are really interesting. Spiraled Copper Texas Twister Hair Sticks. Spirals have long been a favorite of the long haired. Spirals screw into updos and hold them like nothing else. These are the longest hair spirals I've ever seen at four inches and I bet they work awesome.

The sale will run from June 7- June 9 and does not include shipping rates. Snag 'em while you can!

Shelots, Photography Courses and a Questionable Flower

I did my first conditioner only wash tonight. I guess it will be cheaper to buy tons of conditioner than to buy tons of shampoo and conditioner. S's and W's hair seemed to fare well from my newest experiment.  They both had silky, soft locks that were easily combed through without any difficulty.


I have gone a little nuts on buying hair accessories, but in my defense, I put some stuff up on the swap boards. My new items: a custom "shelot" from Ravenslair on Etsy and  a Tangle Teezer. I also bid on a 1910 celluloid hair comb, but was outbid. I can't decide whether or not to increase my maximum bid. I like the hair comb and I love that it's antique, but my hair stuff budget is depleted.

The shelot from Ravenslair is beautiful. I bought the "Sea Witch" shelot from her about a month or so ago. I love it, but it's too small. That was entirely my fault, I should have measured my bun before I bought it. That shelot got me thinking. I wanted one that fit well and the Sea Witch shelot reminded me of the cold, rocky seas of the North. I asked for a custom 7(!!) inch shelot inspired by the rocky, cold seas. She did an awesome job and even wrote a little story to go along with the shelot. Mermaid From the Northern Reaches Shelot and Hair Stick Set. Never fear, I will be posting action shots when it arrives in the mail.


The Tangle Teezer got rave reviews and is supposed to glide through tangles with nary a pull. I mostly bought this for my little girls because I prefer a yak's horn comb to anything else. I bought it in glittery purple hoping the girls would like it. I'll certainly post a review here about the Tangle Teezer. It's not expensive at about $15.

I also dove in and decided to take an online photography class. I really love taking photography and classes will only help me to become better. I was flattered by a few visitors to my home recently. They saw some of my framed photography and thought that I had bought it in a gallery. I'm looking forward to getting some criticism on my photography.

I've been practicing my macro shots. I'd never really done any before now. I think they turned out okay, but I'd like to learn macro composition.

                                                  
                 What does this one remind you of? (Sorry, my mind is in the gutter.)

So, anyways, I'm trying to find something new and exciting to do for my next hair tutorial. I was thinking about doing a "How to Comb Your Hair" tutorial since I've seen so many women yanking brushes through their hair. Any ideas or suggestions? I'd love to hear them!
