Friday Finds, Superhero Style: Bat Signal



Meow is right. Last weekend I found three out of six 1992 Batman Returns collector cups from McDonalds at a yard sale. They were carelessly thrown in a box marked FREE, what a steal! The frisbee batdisc lids were long lost, but they were the designs with the best comic art - Batman chasing a villain, Catwoman jumping from building to building, and Penguin riding his rubber ducky of death.

I prowled Etsy for Catwoman costumes two weeks ago, so today I summoned Batman instead. My searchlight illuminated several handmade bat signals.

    My best friend's daughter got married last month and the groom's ring has the Batman logo. Batman is my favorite superhero. I think it's the angst. :)

    You sometimes find the coolest stuff in the "free" box, which is why the best things in life are free. I loved this Batman movie. I don't remember the cups, but my little bunny mind isn't very good at recall.

    I'm hoppin' over from Stumble Through Thursday blog hop because I like to hop.

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Susana Silva for submitting the randomly-chosen 392nd entry.

Elizabeth Koh is not one person, but two - both Janelle and Megan's middle names are Elizabeth, and Koh means island in Thailand, where they handcraft all their cotton and silk scarves. Every collection is named after a beach or island in Thailand and feature a range of weights for wearing in several seasons. Elizabeth Koh is committed to improving the communities where their products are made, so 10% of proceeds are donated to SOS Children's Villages in Thailand.
