107 musings:
really love this shop and all its quirky items. love the bird cage necklace :)
hmmmm, something about me... I practice yoga and I am crazy about purple :)
cute shop!
hmm, well its autumn here and while it is my favourite season i am missing summer just a little - the warmth, dresses with sandals, iced tea and summer fruits!
X
I love the anchor necklace!
I love cookies and cream ice cream, but can't stand oreos.
Besides being couped up in my room reading endless novels and watching new episodes of dramas that seem endless to me, I am a poetic person and I enjoy writing brief stories about my every day encounters.
I love summer time considering it's the only time that I get to reflect on what I've probably "should've, would've, could've" during Fall, Winter, and Spring. It's my way of being able to re-do or do what I didn't or should have done.
I love this giveaway! Please enter me!

On days I have off I make elaborate plans for wonderful whimsical things I will do that arnt really all that exciting, unless you let them be. Like Taking photographs of blades of grass, sitting on the floor in the sun with your favourite pillow and your latest book purchase and purposefully staying up till midnight to start watching movies that make your heart all warm and gooey. I love doing things by myself.
xo
Awh! All so cute! Man I love bright colours!
Hmm, well I am a natural redhead, whose hair bleaches itself with blonde streaks in the summer, and in winter turns a more.. orangy colour :)
Other than this, I am crazy about mangos! Best summer fruit ever! <3
oasisamidchaos@blogspot.com
i really enjoy playing with my boobs and sometimes catch myself holding them over my shirt in public.

I love to paint octopi.
Your blog is my inspiration.
the anchor necklace is cool.
I'm bad at haiku
I can't look away from the anchor!
And. My downfall will be vintage jewelry, really of all kinds, but rings and pendants most of all.
Also, I'm addicted to blueberries! :]
Cheers!

Super weird response coming, but here goes! I'm glad I started reading your blog since it's how I find out about Pin Up Girl Clothing. I wouldn't say it's the kind of place that would normally interest me, but I really appreciate that they style their dresses with curvy girls in mind. I'm about your height, but my measurements are 42-35-45 so finding dresses that fit are like finding pots of gold at the end of the rainbow!
I could never have too much quirky jewelry :)
Something about me... I have synesthesia and only discovered a year ago that it's not normal to see numbers, letters and time frames as a map in your head! It does mean I'm very good at making calculations, though.
xx
Whoops, something went wrong there! I'm the synesthesia girl.
Sometimes, when I see people, or when I read Post Secret, or something equally vague and anonymous as just a glimpse of somebody on the street corner, I make up little stories for them in my head.
They always end up happy because I believe in happy endings, always.
If that's a random enough thing about me. C: I would love to enter this contest/giveaway.

Very cute items. Something...I'm double jointed at my elbows and it freaks people out.
I long to learn to play the violin again! I had to quit a few years back when I changed schools and I get sooo envious when I see others that can play
Ohdamnitsmorgan@gmail.com
I collect safety pins! They are so useful and tempting. Whenever I buy clothes or find them lying around, I am secretly delighted. Shiny, distinctive, functional and tiny - what more collectible item could there be?
♥ thank you for this giveaway! you may contact me at calteramisa@gmail.com
I collect porcelain dolls.... even though I find them ever so slightly frightening :P
And I love the golden snitch necklaces! And the vampire teeth!

I bought a ring yesterday which is a love heart held by two hands (one on each side). It reminds me that I hold my heart in my hands and can choose whether to give it to someone or not.
My email address: lil_ladybird@live.com
I really love this!
Hm... about me. I have a thing about being barefoot. I can't stand it. It freaks me out.

Cute giveaway!
Something about me... Russian is my first language, and I often despair that no matter how well a piece of classical literature or a poem can be translated, people who don't speak it will not fully grasp the beauty of it.
xierine@gmail.com
Well, I lead a RPG forum, and I write a blog together with my friend. We pretend to have an amazing, artistic life, so it's called Faux Artsy Life. :)
And I'm obsessed with green! Everything in my pencil case is green - scissors, rubber, moment glue, pocketknife, lighter and whatnot.
Anna.B@delfi.lv
Wow, everything in Annie Jacks is so beautiful. Amazingly talented people.
As for an interesting fact about me:
I have a pet goat that thinks he's a dog and gets angry when you shut him out of the house.
The hot air balloon necklace in the picture is amazing!
And something about me... my favorite book is Perks of Being a Wallflower. The whole book is written in letters by a boy named Charlie, who sends them to someone. We don't know who the person is, all we know is the stories Charlie tells us, which are about his freshmen year of high school. Love, drugs, the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's so great. And I'm moving away to college soon, and I'm seriously considering pulling a Charlie and sending letters to someone.

Something about me: I'm very OCD, about cleanliness and organization mostly, but also about some other random and strange things. For example, when I'm listening to the radio or television, the volume has to be either a multiple of 2 or 5, and multiples of both (so multiples of 10) are best! My husband likes to tease my by putting the volume on some awful number like 17.
tmcreecy@gmail.com
I've currently got a huge crush on Edwardian fashion. Wishing women still dressed like that, they were so elegant!
Love this giveaway!
Every day I leave my house I get to the end of my street and have to turn around. I have serious OCD about unplugging everything in my house :/

I've looked at this shop before and loved it!
Something about me...people say I look hippie-ish because of my hair and sometimes I really wish I could go back in time to live during the 60s just to be able to fit into that decade. I feel like I may have been born in the wrong era.
I secretly want to get my ham radio license. I casually brought it up to my husband last night and he just laughed. I'll probably just go get it someday and he'll secretly be happy for me that I did.
i Love vintage clothing, but dont own a single piece...
the hot air baloon necklace is wonderful! Something about me...Each summer when I'm fresh out of work (I'm a teacher)I pick a show to become completely wrapped up in. Last Summer was Dexter, this summer is Breaking Bad. LOVE IT!
My favorite thing about summer is rollerskating miles and miles on the beautiful trails in Michigan.
Neat shop, I had never seen it before!
I am terribly afraid of the dark... deathly afraid. Like I have panic attacks if I am left alone in a dark room. Not cool... but I love dogs, and if money were no object I would buy land and run a rescue organization!

probably a bit of a weird story, but it was the first thing that came in mind when trying to think of what to write here: I was partially deaf as a child. Everything sounded like an underwater conversation. It was horrible for me. I had a dream though after the ear surgery I had (which apparently didn't help) and I hung out with Jesus who healed me in my dream. When I woke up I was able to hear and talk perfectly and it astounded everyone including the speech therapist who ran around telling everyone when my mom and I went to let her know that I didn't need therapy anymore, even though I was at the bottom of the class and had no hope. Therefore I believe in miracles.

shilbelim@gmail.com
About me? I can relate almost everything in my life to the number 9 (my lucky number)...I almost minored in Latin (2 classes short)...and I am a VERY judgmental person with everyone but my friends.

That shop has some wonderful pieces! Hmm... well the best milkshakes are served at Clarks in Connecticut, and my favorite flavor to get is chocolate and mint ice cream.
There is nothing I dont love about summer! It's fantastic!
I love the Float Away - Hot Air Balloon Brass Necklace.
And I love to play outside, catching frogs or worms in the rain. My boyfriend won't come with me anymore so I go with his 11 yr old sister!
Such cute stuff! So very summery.
I have made so many blogs: a couple personal blogs, a dating blog, a food blog, a photography blog... but I always end up neglecting them. Poor little blogs... I haven't deleted them, but I don't even remember most of their addresses.
I have a secret obsession with the Jonas Brothers and named my cat Joe Jonas. I also have an abnormal amount of clothing with wild animals on them.
that jewelry is cute! bird cage necklace, especially. i love sushi, hiking, movies, and my favorite book is Dracula by Bram Stoker.

Random thing: I desperately want to learn the art of canning food.

What a lovely giveaway! Hmm, something about me...my absolute favorite season is spring, especially late spring, though I also like early fall. Basically, I have a terribly limited temperature range where I'm not shivering or sweating...
Also, I don't know whether I'll ever feel like a "grown-up." (Despite the fact that I'm 24 and in the middle of my Ph.D.)
The anchor necklace is great...I've become obsessed with anchors over the past few years. They are traditionally a symbol of hope (my name), and I just love the strength they represent. I want to get an anchor tattoo on my wrist someday (quirky fact of the day!). -Hope
hopeshores@gmail.com
something about me...well i am a physical therapy student and the standard dress code for most PT clinics is khakis and tennis shoes. therefore, i am horrified when i think of my future wardrobe. i take every opportunity to get around these rules, and on the weekends i go crazy. my new fave thing summer outfit includes a pair of hot pink j crew shorts.

I'm graduating this week and super terrified about it. No more college bubble and my girls around me, but excited to begin a real life...when I find a job.
I want to date Gene Kelly but marry Fred Astaire.
What a wonderful giveaway! Um um um, something about me... I'm terrible at cooking, and always let my boyfriend be in charge of meals while I volunteer to do the dishes. But I'm slowly getting better and better at cooking my own meals.

my favorite thing about summer is sandals and painted toe nails.. and lying on the boat dock!
My favorite place to eat is iHop and I get cheescake pancakes EVERY SINGLE TIME! I've never tried a hotdog or a hamburger or a soda. I guess I can't really be called an American. I am a believer in love as of late.

something about me....
im not a big fan of soda and juice, water all the way!
awosanyas@gmail.com
thx!
Oh the stuff in this shop is so darling! A random fact about me? I am naturally a dirty blone, but for about a year my hair has been slowly turning red. My hairdresser thought it was just a random change, until we realized a few weeks ago that it's my water! My complex has water high in iron, and it is messing with the chemical compound of my hair! I'm moving in a month and am anxious to get back to normal hair-ville.
godkay1886@yahoo.com
oh my gosh i love the hot air balloon necklace!!
I'm working to pay off my student debt and then I want to start saving to take a year and travel/volunteer across the world. :) Your Winnebago-ing trip is such an inspiration to me to just do what you want!
I have a passion for 80's movies. Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, if it was made in the 80's (or even just set in the 80's) I love it!
DustInMyWind@ymail.com
Hmmm, I LOVE the idea of a quirky trait!
Mine is that I had to memorize a poem in second grade. It was "The Unseen Playmate" By Robert Louis Stevenson. I can still recite it by heart and have carried a copy of it with me every day since second grade and am teaching it to my 5 year old daughter.
I can only chew gum for about three minutes, and then I throw it away. I guess I get tired of chewing. ha.

So cute :)
Let's see...I feel like I'm boring because everyone else has these neat random/whimsical things about them, but that's not me.
I'm just 18. I love reading. I'm an Interior Design major. And I date the most wonderful Red Headed boy in the world.
Thanks for the chance!
I like the hot air balloon necklace!
Okay so I just got a pair of jeggings and I seriously slept in them and then threw on a tunic and went to my Linear Algebra final. They're the comfiest thing ever.. and I got them for like 20 bucks. Best. Purchase. Ever.

AlinaGeorgina@yahoo.com
All the jewelry is so pretty!
What to say about myself? Well, besides fashion, I have an unhealthy obsession with the animated TV series (which was cancelled and I actually got emotional over) King of the Hill. I told its creator, Mike Judge, that it is the foundation to my relationships and daily routine.
lomeliamanda@yahoo.com
oh i love quirky jewelry!
odd fact... i can sometimes control my dreams. if i'm in the midst of a dreamed event that is bad, i can think about it, realize i'm only dreaming, half wake up, then go back to sleep with a better outcome.
I have a slight phobia of rubber balloons and styraphoam. I feel really clausterphobic and uncomfortable around them. Especially when they screech, ahh!
