One of the things I love about art/design is how you can tell when people your age are finally the ones making the products because I swear, all the Halloween decor slaps this year

like I've seen neon pumpkins before but they usually had overly goofy faces or chose strange color pallets, but a lot of stuff I'm seeing now is gearing more towards that nice simplified almost-chibi look and makes me think more of AA merch than your 'store-brand'. i love it

i even went into tj maxx yesterday on a whim because we parked next to it on our way to the craft store. In my mind that was a stuffy adult clothing store, because that's what the fashion was when I was little and in there last-- instead i left with a pair of shoes, a pastel ghost sugar cookie bowl and even my favorite coffee syrup??

I'm getting off track lol i guess it's just nice to say that I can enjoy being an adult now because adult things feel like they are made by my peers. Age is funny that way sometimes when you remember that, but I also love when I see a brand is someone's first collection and picture how excited they must have been to have their work sold in a big store

but that's probably just a me thing heh

anyway I've had a lovely weekend, I'm so excited for spooky season.

I have to do some shop research this morning, a smattering of art and then I'll get back to taggin and event top levels

its great!! I love the decor this year

right? I know my store hasn't even got it all in yet and I keep admiring all the new stuff.
