THE BEST OWL BOOKENDS EVER!!!



These owls are soooo spooky, old, and haunting! They are 8 1/2" tall x 3" wide x 4" front to back. From my private collection to yours! They have an old verdigris finish with age wear and little bits of rust peeking through here and there. Heavy like old doorstops and fabulous! Great for Halloween decor. I have had these for years and was told they are from around 1910. These are very unusual and you will want them for your old owl collection!  Go here to purchase and see more views.

Finding Alice



The other day while moving things around at the shop to make room for a monster black antique cash register, I was pleasantly surprised to find a miniature edition of Alice in Wonderland back in the corner of a small book shelf behind my counter. Obviously I put it there long ago with no recollection......
This old rare book by Lewis Carroll is so sweet! It is a miniature edition from 1918. It has 204 pages and measures 6" x 4". It has red boards with gold art of Alice and the Pig on the front and 42 illustrations by John Tenniel inside. Printed in Great Britain. There is one small split in the lower spine on the outside with a little fraying, other than that, it is in good shape for its age. Really beautiful book and a great find in my own shop!

"Vampire Rising"



October is soooo inspirational! My latest Dark Art Creation is sure to conjure fantasies of the Netherworld! I call it "Vampire Rising" as this taxidermy bat appears to be rising from an abyss in three dimensional ethereal form.....a perfect addition to this time of the year!

"Oh Dem Bones, Oh Dem Bones...."

What do you know, another Dark Art Creation finished! I named it after the Old Bones song we all learned as kids. This gigantic apothecary jar, 22" tall is filled with carefully placed skulls and curiosities and is quite pleasing to the eye and very haunting! Perfect for this time of year, a must have for your mantel. One of a Kind, Wicked Wares by Crystal

Beatrice

Meet Beatrice, a large, haunting 1920's bust I found at an antique faire recently. She was Dante's love interest way back when and inspired many of his famous writings throughout his life even though they both married other people. She was previously owned by Charles Gerhardt, famous conductor and producer who conducted many famous classic film scores including Star Wars. She was purchased from his estate sale after his death in 1999. Bittersweet!

The Devil's Toolbox

It has been a long time tradition to give the man of the house a new toolbox for Christmas....but sometimes untraditional gifts are more fun... How about surprising HIM with The Devil's Toolbox under the tree this year...
Overflowing with rare 19th century tools and otherworldly, unearthly delights, this antique toolbox is sure to put a big, wicked smile on his face!




Everything fits in nice and compact and the box locks up with an old Masters lock! Update - Sold to Brooklyn Girl in New York!
Lots more new arrivals have been posted on my website in the different categories, especially in Boudoir....take a look.
Happy Holidays!

A Rare Find!

Look what I found in a crusty old box up in the rafters of my parents' garage - All handmade Victorian Tinsel Christmas ornaments. They must have been my grandmother's long ago. They look so amazing on the black Christmas tree at my shop.
