My pooch, Bianca, would just adore all of the pinkalicous dog goodies.

I desperately want to makeover our bedroom! It's not that bad really... I just think it is in need of an update and some freshening up. Right now we have a groovy b&w Ikea comforter on our bed with a swirly, psychedelic pattern on it. I really want to do something with PINK in our room but I'm afraid hubby won't want that to happen! Boo! So just for fun... here are some ideas for what I would like in my dream room (if I had the $$$ to throw around!)
I've been obsessed with browsing vintage on Etsy and Ebay lately. The numerous thriftstores that are nearby are all picked over. Here are a few of my favorite pieces I have found on Etsy.

I've been soooooo busy brainstorming new ideas and making new items and I am so excited to finally be offering them in my ETSY shop! I've got so many new designs that I can't wait to create... it's going to be fabulous~ I promise you that!
Lately I have been inspired by the color pink. I'm in this mode where I want to create pretty girly things! It's so ironic because growing up I was always a tomboy. Now that my 27th bday is approaching on the 23rd I want to feel like a little girl again and I believe that is showing up in my recent work. Here are a couple items from my shop for the pretty little girl in you!
I love this necklace named Fifi that I found in imyourpresent's Etsy shop late last night. I love chinese-crested dogs so I think this adorable little pooch necklace is just the sweetest thing. imyourpresent has a lot of other fab items in her shop and they seem to sell out fast. I wonder if she does custom orders? I would love to have a necklace like this with my pekingese, Bianca, inside.... maybe with mint-green or pink lace around the edges??
Today's ETSY item of the day comes from the shop of winnieatepooh. It's an Ooey Gooey Pink Brain adjustable ring made out of polymer clay. Very unique. Very cool! Because I am a stoopid gerl I could totally use something like this! lol!

Today's ETSY Item Of The Day comes from the ETSY shop of nutraj. This fuschia necklace is oh-so-pretty in pink! I would love to wrap this delicious piece around my neck. It reminds me of hard candy.

Hi... my name is Kim Ripley (formerly Sobanski). I am 29 years young and I am from Mount Clemens, MI. My passion lies in art, photography, and creating jewelry. I graduated from Wayne State University in Dec. 2005 with a BFA in photography. I would have to say that I have been an artist my entire life. I think I was born with a crayon in my hand.
When I am not busy creating I enjoy other things. I love thrift stores, antique shops, and yard sales. I have always got my eyes open for strange, tacky, and kitschy things. I am also obsessed with searching out Ebay and Etsy for neato finds!
Which leads me to my next interest- found objects. I collect found items (photos, letters, shopping lists, etc.). I am a huge fan of Found magazine and I even have a 2-page spread of photos and a letter in Dirty Found #2!!
I am currently married to the love of my life~ Joe (we've been together since Nov '99). We have a daughter, Chloe Pearl, who was born in December 2009. We also have one min-pin dog named JoJo.
We hope to make it out to Vegas someday and get out of Michigan.
