I won’t be typing much in the near future, due to a bad nerve pain flare in my hands, but will still try to post if possible.
Harrison Greeting Cards has released re-prints of vintage Halloween cards, most of which range from the 1920’s-1960’s (at reasonable prices)!
Creepy Co. has released a series of enamel Beistle pins for Halloween this year, and they are awesome!
Bonus pin: cemetery winged skull!
My Etsy shop now has plenty of goodies that would be perfect accessories for Halloween season attire. They range from silly and spooky to sophisticated yet haunting.
Silent horror, spookshows, vintage illustration!
Skull cameos, Beistle classics, kitsch!
Lover’s Eyes (of man and beast)!
…and much more.
There is also a giveaway running this week, so be sure to check that out.
Many times, I’ve looked at classy black wallets and thought “this needs a 3D cat face on it” (by many, I mean never…but now that I know this exists, I will). The effect is rather striking, don’t you think?
I’m not sure if these are available for purchase in the US. If anyone knows an online store that features Japanese goods and carries them, please share!
I also love their little tag/ID cases!
I’ve been looking at a lot of historical nautical maps lately. What maps lacked in accuracy 500 years ago, they sure made up for with extravagant design. I’d be pretty thrilled if this guy showed up on my GPS.
Sadly, it’s pretty clear that “solitudes” has a double meaning here.
I don’t think this is what she meant by “Calgon, take me away!”
Actually, he said you guys were more like acquaintances. Just sayin’.
Breathtaking…
DY-NO-MITE! Actual mites, I mean.
You mean cats can saw wood and build things while mine have been eating and sleeping all day? Freaking freeloaders.
Speaking of cats…
That new fertilizer did wonders for the harvest.
Ugh. One of those evenings.
This requires careful planning.
I stared at this for like five minutes in a futile attempt to decide which one is creepier.
I think this pairs nicely with the book above.
Gotta have standards.
I love how engaged Death is with his book.
Strangest strike banner ever. Unless you’ve seen a stranger one, in which case I really hope you share it with me.
Thank you Rachel, for showing me that Saran wrap and Bubble wrap are the fashion of the (retro) future. (Seriously ladies, would you be into a guy who confidently sauntered over to you in bubble wrap thigh highs?)
70’s fashion
I sense a seemingly incorrigible child and a maudlin, happy ending.
I can forgive the obvious impracticality of having a giant tube directly in the driver’s field of vision, because it’s clearly inspired by atomic structure.
A wonder what qualifies as a “good” or “mediocre” decapitation.
“Did anyone notice Grandma looked a little unwell today?
This could be a poster to promote neutering (PSA: countless healthy animals are put down in shelters due to overpopulation. Have your pet spayed/neutered!)
In an utterly surreal event, THIS ran under our car in the middle of moving traffic on a gigantic highway yesterday. It was the very last place one would expect to find a kitten, as there were no wooded or residential areas for many miles. He was all the way in the left lane, and undoubtedly seconds from being roadkill. We screeched to a halt and scooped him up. He’s 7-8 weeks old, one pound, around the size of an adult fist.
He has a shockingly sweet temperament for a feral, and checked out fine at the vet. We have a black and white cat already, and this fellow is black AND white. Fate, right?
I’ll never forget the site of Casey emerging from under the car holding this fellow as traffic frantically whooshed by in all directions. He opened the door and said “I guess we have a new kitten.” “Um…I guess so!” I said…already completely in love (can you blame me with that face?).
Name ideas, anyone?
Are you ready to be creeped out by a piece of art (if not, you might be on the wrong website. Just sayin’)?
This cat is two dimensional, but appears to follow you wherever you move.
Am I the only one who finds the face really unsettling?
Keri Pajutee’s hand crafted miniatures could very well be the answer to my irrational wish to always be covered in cats.
These little cuties are constructed in mixed media at standard dollhouse 1:12 ratio. If I had one I’d keep it in my pocket or purse for emergency doses of feline energy.
There are many other animals in her portfolio as well. You can read about how she makes them here.
IDEA!
Everyone should know this.
Ah, refreshing summer treats.
Gorgeous!
This looks like an awesome model kit.
I love this painting. Such a sense of longing.
I left the trademark that says “for personal purposes only,” because I imagine all of us have ultra-cute kitten purposes.
On the other hand, I see no earthly purpose for this:
So…extra crotch room for Chuck Norris style kicks was a selling point?
A turtle skeleton, just because.
Incredible makeup job.
