Every Day is Halloween!
So far October has been a horror show that has had nothing to do with Halloween. Elections, Budgets, ongoing lockdowns in Victoria and around the world and rising cases of coronavirus have left me, and most people I know, feeling pretty depressed.
This mini collection almost didn’t happen.
I had delays with the designs and then delays with production and then delays with shipping. I didn’t think it could possibly all come together in time and that I would have to shelve Halloween (literally in the storeroom) until next year.
But when the pins finally arrived last week, and I opened them and saw the glorious glittery winged kitty poking out, I knew I had to make this launch happen!
Because it immediately made me happy!
And I thought it might make other people happy too (and happiness has been in short supply this year).
So if you are spooky and a little bit (or a lot) kooky,
If your eyes light up like a jack-o-lantern
Or if you think Every Day is Halloween… then these pins are for you.
They are launching at 12pm AEST on Thursday 15th of October. We will have them available individually and also as a set of all 4 pins! As this is a special release we only have limited numbers of these pins available.
Which pin is your favourite? Let me know in the comments…

The cat. I’ve owned 8 black cats in my lifetime – they’re my absolute favourite. My last beautiful boy, Fergus, left us after 19 years. This little sweetheart would be a great ‘memorial’ pin.

Glittery Winged Kitty is my fave 😃✨👍🎶🌈
That’s great news that all worked out for you.
Best wishes for your depression. I get depression often (complex reasons that’d take too long to explain …lol, but these days, it’s mainly due to my health-problems, plus I still miss my late partner of 25 years severely). Back in the mid-1980s (I’m that old …lol), someone recommended a wonderful book by an Australian called Dr Claire Weeks. She wrote a range of books from the 1960s about how to help get aleviation from anxiety and depression. She was even commissioned to do a radio-series for the BBC. She passed away in the early 1990s, but her books have been abridged, and that book is now called ‘Complete Self-Help For Your Nerves’, and as far as I know, it’s still available through the publishing arm of ‘Angus & Robinson’ (that part and their online shop survived).
The essence is to ‘float’ through experiences of anxiety and depression, and ‘floating’ through (or letting those feelings ‘wash-through’ you) works by not reacting to one’s depression and/or anxiety (ie: not trying to force out those feelings, nor getting depressed/anxious about being depressed/anxious). By ‘floating’ through those feelings (or otherwise letting them ‘wash-through’ you), that’s like passively ignoring those feelings, so in time they lessen, and you get stronger, and the memory of those feelings end up being just a memory.
Like all things, the process is not a miracle, but it certainly helps. And it seems too simple to be good, but its simplicity makes it easier to work with. And what’s good is that continuing with the ‘floating’ / ‘washing-through’ process makes it a habit, so over time, the mind will start that ‘floating’ / ‘washing-through’ process without you needing to consciously start doing it, and the confidence of knowing that it works from previous experience also helps to get through the ‘floating’ ‘washing-through’ process.
I hope that I didn’t put you to sleep with my explanation …lol, but as the process has always worked well for me, I like to share the detail. Have a search for he book on the net; and if you buy a copy of Dr Weekes’ book to read through, you get the feeling that she’s talking with you (rather than condescendingly to or at you).
Also, last year, I discovered that a call to ‘Lifeline’, if feeling necessary, can also help.
Best wishes and greetings from The Blue Mountains in NSW (and I look forward to buying that glamour kitty 😊).
