Big boxes for big bows?

Seriously, when I saw these boxes on the hood of my car I thought "These two have to be a mile wide."
The brown box is a seven-inch cube...
...while the flat box is nine and a half inches across.
I do have two bows that are nine inches across (the season isn't right for them yet), but when I opened the flat box I found that the bow is a manageable size.  It's got a sequined spider and web on it, perfect for Halloween.
The Etsy shop that provided this bow is called SweetAngelDreamBows, and they do tumblers, plates, and phone covers in addition to blingy cheer bows.  I probably won't wear this one until Halloween, but it's a nice bow with substantial weight.  The sequins are ON THERE, by the way, unlike the sequins on some of my dolls' dresses.  The green material reminds me a little of snakeskin up close, even though it doesn't look much like snakeskin.  Indeed, one of my fellow dolly bloggers compared a fabric like this to squid skin, and cephalopod skin does look speckled and shiny.
The other bow is also your average-sized cheer bow, and I was a bit concerned about it.  I custom-ordered a message, but never got anything saying "Yeah, we can do that" or "No, we can't."  SweetAngelDreamBows did that when I bought my bow, verifying that I wanted it the way the picture showed it.  Well, here's the other bow...
...and here's the message.  To my delight, it's exactly what I wanted.
"Try to set the night on fire," the last line from my favorite Doors song, "Light My Fire."  I suspect that this seller may be familiar with the song, as she accentuated the same words that Jim Morrison accentuated when he sang the song.  I wanted a song lyric that stuck to fire, or light, or glowing, because this bow glows under blacklight...and under my trippy porchlight, which often behaves like a blacklight.  I love stuff like this!
Shop's name is beautifulChaos101.  They have a huge range of stuff, all of which can apparently be customized (I really like the picture frames).  Oh yeah, here's the bottom of the box.  I love these stickers!
So yeah, big boxes don't necessarily hold the biggest bows, but I applaud both sellers for packaging these bows so that they wouldn't be crushed.  Sometimes that's an issue with items like this.  Based on the packaging and the final products, both of these bows will be getting good reviews. 

Love and sparkles,

Let freedom ring

Image
Yet another patriotic one.  This one came from Etsy, but I don't know what shop it was. This one is one of three that my mother got for me in one fell swoop.  The others are the jellybean bow from June 3rd and the flag bow from June 14th . Like them, this bow is a big one. Let freedom ring, baby!  I remember sharing my memories of Flag Day, but I don't remember sharing memories of the Fourth of July...at least, not here.  Oh, I've got so many!  Halloween is my mother's favorite holiday, and Independence Day was my dad's for reasons unknown.  May have had something to do with his love for history.  But anywho, about April Daddy would start setting aside a little money here and there for fireworks, and as July 4th rolled around he'd buy fireworks with that money.  A few here, a few there, a whole sh!tload at Reeve's Boomland in Charleston...oh, Boomland.  I liked going there, but as I grew older I began to realize that it was kinda a dangerous...

Pac-Man fever

For the record, I suck at Pac-Man.  I've only played it a handful of times, but each time I couldn't get past the first level.  I guess it's one of those games that requires practice and patience...and patience is NOT one of my virtues!  Regardless, I do like Pac-Man.  Compared to the dumb video games we have today Pac-Man's simple innocence is...well, it's pretty nice.  Unfortunately I'm about to make myself look like a complete hypocrite, because my Pac-Man is munching more than just little white pellets! Phooey on pellets and fruit and ghosts, Pac-Man's hitting the hard stuff!  The Etsy carrier, DollfaceDesignss , goes heavy on the horror, so I guess Pill-Popper Pac-Man is kinda tame compared to Psycho .  Whatevs, I like my accessories a little (or a lot) on the offbeat side, so I'm happy.  This is a mighty nice bow, by the way.  Some of my bows pull my hair like mad, but this one slid right in. In addition to the goofy hair bow I've gone ...

International Sloth Day

Y'all know what that means! I think I've worn and shown this bow before (shop name is CherylsBowtasticBows ), but it's one of my favorites because SLOTHS, that's why!  I don't think I ever showed y'all my earrings, though. Those also came from Etsy (shop name is JMDesignsbyUS ), and they're made of wood.  JMDesigns is located in Sedalia, so usually when I order from them I get my item(s) toot sweet.  I never have been to Sedalia, by the way.  They seem to be a tornado magnet, having been hit in 1952, 1973, 1977, and 1980, so maybe I'd best NOT go.  The tornado in 1952 hit the Missouri State Fair, by the way.  Normally it's a bad thing for a tornado to hit during the night, but in that case it was a very good thing, as the fairgrounds were fairly empty.  Indeed, the only fatality in the 1952 storm was in a mobile home, not on the fairgrounds.  But enuff of that; this is supposed to be about sloths, not tornadoes!  If you've read my doll blog t...
