I 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?

A new piece by Mark Ryden to lust after…
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?”
I rarely find myself eating with chopsticks, but these sets of Alien chopsticks make me want to start.
What’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…
If 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.
Here 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:

And now, some favorites from this year’s stock.
I like their whole “Be Very Afraid” line of decorations and tableware.
A few simple, classy black items might go well with…well, pretty much anything.
A special twist on drink umbrellas:
Check out this…wait for it…HANDelabra:
I must admit I swooned over these mini icing knives for cake/cupcake decorating like I was looking at a newborn baby. “Ooooh…so cute!”
Most commercial Halloween products tend to lean toward the colorful, campy side. I love seeing *classy* products like the following.
