TOYS!

Somehow it's been almost a year since I boxed up all my possessions and moved across the country! Where did the time go? Last Halloween Doug and I shared a short video we made of some of my home and collections. We have shelves being delivered this week hopefully so I may have a video up this Halloween of the toy wall going back up! Fingers crossed! Until then, here is our video again from last Halloween <3

SARA HARVEY'S TOY SIDESHOW

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!!! I hope you have a great day full of tricks and treats! This day for me is like Christmas for most kids where you can't really sleep the night before because you're too excited! I have always loved Halloween and getting dress up as anything you want to be. Usually my costumes are horror related because I'm a horror blood and guts kind of lady, ha! This year I didn't really have much of a costume planned out so I'm putting together something for later today with things I already own.

My amazing boyfriend thankfully gets me and put this awesome video together. He's super busy with normal work so I am truly grateful he took time out to make this for me so we could share it today. I really don't even have the proper words to express how much it means to me that he made this. It's not my entire collection or my entire home but the film would have been way too long and I'm sure no one wants to sit through that. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I think he captures my personality and my home perfectly. We had some fun with a little stop animation so I hope you like it! If you're curious, the music is by Danny Elfman, whom I've loved since I was a wee little child. So...here it is!!! I'm so excited! I will get to cherish this forever since my home no longer looks like this.

TOY SIDESHOW

Earlier in the month I posted a short video my other half made as a teaser for a film he is making of my toy collection and home. I'm so excited to see the end result and share it with you. When I decided it was time for me to move and have a new start of my life, I really wanted to document the love and hard work I put into my current home over the past 8 years. My art and toy collections are extremely important to me and gives me joy everyday so taking it all down has been hard but also really exciting. I get to start over and create a new space that I love. 

I made this title for it the other day. I love typography and hand lettering and use to do it everyday for my past career as a greeting card designer. I had a lot of fun making it.

I have always been obsessed with carnivals and sideshows. The new American Horror Story is a dream come true for me. When you're a kid and people ask "what do you want to be when you grow up?" my answer was always an artist. All the other kids always had different answers throughout the years and I had never considered anything else but one year felt like I needed to have a backup plan if that didn't pan out. Got to be prepared, right! The only other "job" I had ever considered having, was to be a clown. Seriously. Since the artist career actually did pan out, I get my circus and carnival fix with the worlds I create around me. We wanted to capture that feeling some in the video of my home other than just filming my house. MTV Cribs did cross our minds though, man I use to love that show! Since we went a little on the creepy side with it, it only seems fitting to share the final product on Halloween. My favorite day. Although for me, everyday is Halloween.

Have a wonderful day and be sure to check back on the 31st for the full video!
