It’s that time of year again. Time to look at Pottery Barn’s Halloween collection, ooh and ahh over the pretty things, and realize there’s no freakin’ way we’d pay that kind of cash for them.
A lot of the stuff is pretty nice, but this one killed me:
If you pay $25 for something you can make with an empty salsa jar in 5 minutes, we can’t be friends any more.
Total aside: I noticed Grandin Road had “gost dress” sculptures. Here’s the thing. Those chicken-wire dresses are everywhere as “ghost dresses,” but that wasn’t the original intention.
This is from a sculpture installation that had nothing to do with Halloween. I sourced it early on, but sadly, I didn’t keep the link. I should have, because the image has been shared, and the idea copied without attribution so much that the original artist has been lost. These are similar, but came later:
So does anyone remember the original artist? Reverse image search is zero help on this.
Seriously? I never looked at Pottery Barn Halloween before. Also… It’s JULY.
I know, so late in the year, right? 😉
I’ve seen the wire dresses photo attributed to Pernilla Bergdahl, apparently taken for a feature in a gardening magazine, but since I don’t speak Swedish I’ve never gotten any further than that.
