Christenia & Co Steampunk Ball Costume Contest Loot Donations
Donations are still coming in! This is from Christenia & Co.
Accessories for the men and women, her pieces are top class and high quality.
Which is your favorite one? I'm somewhat captivated by the earrings myself.
Who is Christenia & Co?
Christenia & Co. is run by a young lady in Austin, TX who holds a B.F.A in Costume Design from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has been selling her own clothing and jewelery designs on and off since she discovered beading in the third grade and very quickly ran out of enough space to keep all her creations to herself.
Some of her favorite inspirations often come from the likes of Jacques-Louis David, James Tissot, Tamara De Lempicka, Georgia O'Keefe, Tim Burton, Vintage Sears and Roebuck catalogs, and Japanese pop culture.
Stop by her shop today! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Christenia
Be sure to keep an eye on her shop for her new Spring 2011 pieces!
There are going to be some big changes!

Don't just look the part but wrap yourself in these rich steamy scents. "Mutiny" happens to be my favorite. What sounds yummy to you? Details on the scents are listed below:
Old Lace- Echoeing romance, victorian lace gloves grasp delicate, fragrant violets.
Mutiny- Passion and adventure await you with coconut, pirate’s rum, island spice and salty sea air. Prepare to be boarded!
Cemetary Roses- A haunting blend of dusty roses and fresh wild lavender.
Raygun- Wicked and wonderful, orange, grapefruit & tangerines burst with touch of lime, tea leaves and cinnamon.
Time Traveler- Tingly mint and fresh cut thyme whirling through time and space...
Conservatory- a proper, yet highly provocative blend of wood, coffee & old books with hint of cardamom, ginger & exotic Indian patchouli.
Now which of these are hidden in which treasure chest...
In addition to these prizes, samples of the new scent "Conservatory" have been donated as well so keep an eye out for the samples being handed out at the Pre-Party and at Austin's Elysium Steampunk Ball!
