October Dark Art Creations and Haunting New Finds

October is way to short, there needs to be two Octobers every year. It has come and is almost gone and I've been so busy at the shop helping customers with costuming and decorating, I haven't had time to create all the little haunting fantasy projects dancing around in my head. But here are a few and some fabulous recent vintage finds. Meet "Sssserpentina", my latest snake worshiper Hoodoo Conjure Doll. She is 28" long and comes with a little snake oil bottle, two snakes, three antique puncture pins and lots of character!

Mrs. P's Magic Box is an old cash box filled with all kinds of amusing magical novelties. The old box has Mrs. P. hand painted on the side. Email for more views if you want it.

A mysterious large framed print of one of my old Ouija Boards.

A smaller metal Magic Box with goodies, a rib bone and protective Hand of Glory amulet.

Happy New Year!

I was able to get away on a little hunting trip over the holidays and found this fabulous old robotic mannequin. She moved into my shop on New Years Day, fit right into the haunting atmosphere and has become a big hit already. From around the 1930's-40's, plug her in and she comes alive, moving her arms back and forth over the tarot cards while her head turns both ways. She looks like the Bionic Woman inside, full of old machine works and gears. She must have been a fortune teller back in the Good Old Days, I have never seen one like this before. She lives at my shop now so come visit often and ask for a demonstration.

More new arrivals from my recent trip are posted here and on the website.

Thanks for all your support and kind comments in 2008 and have a Wonderful New Year!
