I love picking up old, cheap hats from antique stores. This is half the collection. They inspire me to make characters like Bad Granny.
I like to sort things. I used to sort buttons, but most batches are just white shirt buttons. Boring! Also, my button collection became prodigious.
So now I get unsorted piles of jewelry. I sit and sort and untangle for hours. While most of the batch will be resold, I keep…well, let’s just say my jewerly collection is becoming prodigious.
Those who have known me a while will remember my 100 Happy Days project from a few years ago. I thought it was time for a new round.
I started on Insta, but their archiving is poor, and I won’t be able to go back to this tag later.
Day 1: Vintage Halloween Blow Molds.
Here is my current collection, all lit up at night.
Jack O’Lantern Halloween Ornaments , $20
Dead Daisy makes adorable and spooky plushies and paintings.
She has a kitty named Clover, who wears all sorts of Halloween costumes.
I couldn’t find much info on the artist, Abattisti21, so we’ll have to settle for her Etsy lovelies.
I know, I’ve been going on about the tarot, but this one has an expiration. Sort of.
One of my favorite artists, Stephanie Black of Creepy Kawaii, has a Kickstarter for her gorgeous new tarot.
The black and white images are mostly based on the Rider-Waite deck, and live up to Black’s spooky-cute aesthetic.
Support the project at Kickstarter. If you’d like to buy other adorable things, check out Creepy Kawaii, and be sure to follow her on Facebook.
Been seeing some Caley Hicks on my Facebook feed. If you like cute Halloween, she’s all over it.
She has an Insta, Etsy, Society6, and others, but what tempts me most is her Spoonflower account. I’d like one of each, thank you.
The other thing I bought at Bazaar was this lovely Halloween Tarot, by Kipling West.
Based on the Rider-Waite deck, it features suits of Pumpkins, Bats, Ghosts, and Imps.
Every card features an adorable black kitty. Sometimes he’s hard to spot. It was fun to go through the deck and play ‘find the cat.’
The Halloween Tarot is available a bunch of places. Just do a search and pick your favorite. If you’d like more of West, check out her ouija boards, and her Facebook page.
