Oh, how I love this energy efficient Brain Bulb from Solovyov Design.
I would very much like to have one of these in my home (and it would be rather fitting for my future office as well).

Posted in geek, home, products, science with tags geek, home, products, science on April 28, 2012 by shewalkssoftlyI’m a sucker for anything geeky or scientific for the home (not sure how well that meshes with my penchant for spooky things…in my mind, it’s seamless). These Celestial Serving Bowls would make a fine addition to the kitchen.
Steven Cheek: Skull Pottery
Posted in anatomy, craft, home with tags anatomy, craft, home on February 16, 2012 by shewalkssoftlyI recently posted Nicole Pangas’s Skull Cups.
And now I’ve stumbled upon Steven Cheek’s skull pottery.
Teapots, cups, mugs, jars, flasks, bottles…there is a whole collection of skull inspired pottery.
So what type of skull pottery do you prefer?
See more great designs on the artist site.

An age old patent for all your cow facade needs:
The ORIGINAL stairway to heaven:
Beautiful sandcastle by Adam Gormley:
Excellent idea!
Great party game:
Why not surprise your loved one with an unforgettable toy this Valentine’s Day?
Oh, BELIEVE IT!
At this restaurant, the only thing higher than the lobster towers is the staff’s hair.
I can almost hear the sweet, melodious tune of this duet.
They say history repeats itself. This political cartoon should be reprinted…
Now, I know it’s exaggerated for dramatic effect here, but this is pretty much exactly what my mind’s eye envisions when someone sneezes near me:
Heh. Wait ’til the 21st Century, girl…it’s called the Internet.
But alas…love hurts.
My best friend loves pickles. I sense an edible Pickle Circus setup at a birthday gift!
And I’ll finish off with a video that begs the question “Why is every sport that looks mildly appealing to me a century old and long since laughed out of existence?”

Alien Chopsticks

Target Halloween Clearance
Posted in halloween, home, products with tags halloween, home, products on November 19, 2011 by shewalkssoftlyWhat’s that? It’s almost Thanksgiving and there’s no excuse to be thinking about Halloween? Nonsense! There’s always an excuse to think about Halloween.
I just discovered that Target still has some items on clearance for great prices. For example…
Skeleton Hand…dish/candle holder…thingy:
And now for some pumpkins with a nice retro flare…
They also come in Cereal Bowls:
Oh Halloween…I miss you…
Halloween Countdown: Skull Sheets and Bedding
Posted in halloween, home, undead with tags halloween, home, undead on October 29, 2011 by shewalkssoftlyIf you want to go ALL out, and decorate your sleep chamber with something undead, there are a number of options out there.
Sin In Linen now has a line of skull bedding:
Ooh, it seems someone has started a whole site dedicated to Skull Bedding.
Skulls made of flowers…slightly Day of the Dead-ish:
Believe it or not, this set comes from Walmart:
There are plenty of cutesy designs like this one, if that’s your cup of bony tea.
Incidentally, this came up in my image search. Somehow, putting skulls on a Snuggie makes it look even LESS tough than usual…if possible.
Halloween Countdown: Grandinroad
Posted in automata, decoration, halloween, home, products, undead with tags automata, decoration, halloween, home, products, undead on October 28, 2011 by shewalkssoftlyHere are a few of my favorite picks from Grandinroad’s Halloween Haven this season.
Skeleton hand wall mounts:
Or witch hands, if you prefer:
This tree is incredible:
I think it’s actually the flowers that are for sale, but I can’t take my eyes off the mummies:
Ah yes, here they are…
Skulls and tapers sold separately, but it’s a nice combo:
They also have life size animatronics and animatronic accessories. I’m actually partial to the crawling hands and dancing broomsticks:
