Little Shop of Horrors

My dad calls my booth the Little Shop of Horrors. Here is the lastest from that spooky little place ....
Mattie, a favorite haunted doll, next to an antique photo of a graveyard.
Various spooky old dolls, including a metal-head Minerva named Ruby from haunted Atchison, Kansas.
Old copper gas pump nozzles - they have a wonderful sculptural quality to them.
Black forest towel rack with original antique velvet and old wavy glass.
Edwardian print of a mysterious lady - the eyes follow you around the room! Also a life/death mask of a lady from the 1930s - created by a forensic doctor trying to recreate the face of a lady that died tragically.
Antique beauty shop chair with wonderful original patina.
Antique yacht light, gorgeous old copper with a wonderful patina and a mirrored surface inside. Sooooo fabulous!
Vintage trouble light next to a boar's skull.
Antique clock dial with lovely age to it.
Vintage taxidermy bobcat - fierce!
Antique doll's head with old dark goggles.
Antique doll and collection of black amethyst glass.
Antique Bubbles doll head with crown "Queen of Flora."

Victorian Taxidermy Auction

My dad told me he saw something on the news about an auction of Victorian taxidermy. Check out this article - over 200 pieces from the Brading Collection, on the Isle of Wight were sold.
It was a museum of oddities that included amazing Victorian taxidermy, a yeti, a mermaid and a kitten with wings!
My kind of auction - wish I had been there!

Gothic Wallpaper

Hey what a great idea ... a wall mural of a suitably creepy image! I want one of these for my house!
Maybe this image of lichen for a small wall ...
Lightning would be great too.
These images are from The Custom Wallpaper Blog.
Also, check out The Steampunk Home blog to see a really cool design with a wall mural for a bedroom makeover.
