Shivers of Delight

I first saw these t-shirts at the fabulous shop Die With Your Boots On in Salem, MA and instantly fell in love with them.  I bought one for my husband about tacos in hell. They just make me laugh! Their shop on Etsy also has patches and mugs and it's all so fun I want to share them with you. The shop is Pyknic Official .

Anouk Pantovola is creating dreamlike images and dolls that will make you think of a spookier Marc Chagall. Pantovola's pieces aren't frightening, but they do evoke the underworld. I like her art dolls as much as her prints. See for yourself at Pantovola. Ghost Wedding Print The Witches are Coming Print Wolf Witch Sculpture The Ghost House Glicée Print Isobel with Moon Art Doll Joan of Arc Shadow Box Murdered Green Lady Print Looking at these makes me want to go back to bed to explore what's inside my dreams.

Katie Palmer describes her work as hints of a haunting dream. I was immediately drawn to their dream-like quality and of course the ghosts. I'm always drawn to the ghosts. Palmer paints her way to my heart. Her shop is Wallflower Ghost . Moth Eyed Girl, Original Painting Ghost and Pink Land Third Eye Velvet Choker Transparent Ghost No. 2 The Haunting Die Cut Sticker Float over to this shop and walk away with your own little ghost.

Spooky miniatures are the perfect solution when you can't decorate your own home in the gothic style you prefer. We can't all live in castles after all. Tiny Terrors Tuesdays are all about introducing you to some miniature artists that have a preference for Halloween. The tiny dolls at Xavian Miniatures are what caught my eye. Suzanne van den Nouweland is the shop owner. Miniature Skeleton Doll Grim Reaper Dolls Miniature Venice Mask Miniature Dr. Frankenstein Lab Miniature Cauldron with Bones and Eyes Miniature Gas Mask Miniature Skeleton Doll This is a fun shop to poke around in. Head over there today.

It is never too early to start thinking about a Halloween costume. And, quite frankly, with the number of year-round costume balls these days you need to be prepared to look sensational at a moment's notice. The costume headpieces at Jezebel's Fascination are jaw-dropping. You'll want at least three of these. Seriously, you can display these on a skull in your home. Voodoo Red Skull Headpiece Catrina Day of the Dead Floppy Brown Hat Jester Headdress Red & Black Alligator Swamp Monster Headpiece Black & White Striped Top Hat Silver Crown Autumn Leaf Fascinator There are over 100 headpieces in the shop to ogle- perfect for a Friday afternoon task.

I've always had a fondness for paper art- combine it with skeletons and I'm head over heels in love. Mandi Bitlee joins found objects with paper for spooky results. I love these little dioramas! The shop is Paper Moon Palace . Spooky Apothecary Wooden Coffin Jack Adorned Matchbox Little Paper Cottage Nightlight Apothecary Skeletons The Queen of the Fortune Tellers Tin Diorama Alice in Wonderland Rabbit Hutch Visit Paper Moon Palace for more paper fantasies.

I have to say this has been the mildest winter at our home since we moved here 15 years ago. I'm a bit worried that my garden is going to start coming to life only to be cut down by a late winter storm. Maybe that's why Kittisak Teatasin's gothic jewelry caught my eye. Her Dark Garden collection is filled with beautiful blossoms and skulls; reminding us that beauty is fleeting. In addition to the Dark Garden collection, you'll find Skull and Diamonds and Graphic Skull collections. The shop is Defy Jewelry . Small Skull Flower Necklace Skull Flower Ring Skull Flower Necklace Skull Branch Necklace Small Skull and Crystal Necklace Skull Bracelet There are hundreds (yes, hundreds!) of beautiful, dark jewelry pieces in this shop. Take a look.
