Company, villainous company, hath been the spoil of me.



Villainy, as a pastime has led me to forget myself. No better a theme to make my return than that of the very vice that distracted me so- let us speak of villains. These lepers of refined, lawful society pictured above are made from mainly recycled materials, clearly morally contaminated fibers were used in their construction, no? Together they are the Scoundrel,the Charming Rogue and the Poisoner. {Villain Rag Dolls, set of 3, $55.00 from JunkerJane}

The Shadow Proclamation…


In midst of my current fairy tale obsessions I have found a renewed love for many childhood relics. Paper dolls, shadow puppets and hand made toys particularly catch my interest. It was while browsing the nearly infinite number of vendors on etsy.com that I found the Owly Shadow Puppets shop. Whether your fantasies begin with a futuristic space mission, an adventure beneath the tides, the remote woodlands of the Pacific Northwest or you just think that owls are pretty awesome- there is something intriguing about these block figures.

A few thoughts on Osteology addictions...


Eminence, articulation, process… all terms used to describe the features found in both bones and personalities. I find myself nearly overwhelmed with affection for all things related to the endoskeleton. It has been my quest since viewing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, to find the most impressive of skeleton inspired candle designs. The Noble Collection produced a limited quantity of these vertebrae candle holders for the films release.
