Gothic Charm School: pretty things

Firstly, this is a delightfully creepy lamp. Secondly, the thisisnotgoth tumblr should not make me giggle as much as it does. It’s no gothsuptrees, but still, funny!

Happy halloween loves!

I think I need these for my coffee. And absinthe. Yes. Apothecary Jar - 50 Skull Shaped Sugar Cubes by dembones on etsy, via 365daysofhalloween.

Oooh, I could put up our (white, sparkly, decorated with bats) Christmas tree for Halloween, too! but since we will have recently let two VERY SCAMPERY kittens into the house, that might not be a good idea.

Just posting a few different styles of Halloween trees…I think I’m almost done. :)

Pink and black skeleton Halloween tree

Current frivolous antique I didn’t know I wanted: Late 1800s mourning earrings. Stunning.

Lace and skull brooch, made by me. The centerpiece is an antique mourning ornament, given to me by the ever-wonderful @Kambrieldesign.

Oh, isn’t this lovely. It would look wonderful on one of my book shelves, yes indeed.

I have no idea what this is from, but I think it’s fantastic.

“Ash to Ash, Dust to Dust”…..
The Architect is an original mixed media assemblage by Macabre on 11x14 inch wood frame mounted canvas. The paper sculpted skull has been distressed with layers of acrylic paint and blackened bronze metal paint and has a light grungy green patina, it’s jaw is hinged into place by brass rivets. The Architect has a crown of intertwined, thin, dried grape vine tangled with soft spun yarns and neutral colored darning floss. He is nestled into a frame of stained wooden roses. He is bound into place by thin jute rope that is secured by rusty eye hooks. The canvas base is multiple paint layer stripes and crackle medium and is framed by rusted blackened bronze metal paint and nails. Script has been ink stamped, painted, and scratched onto various textured and aged papers and stitched into place with blue/grey darning floss. The back of the piece is finished with faux leather that is secured into place with brass tacks and has a thin wire for hanging.

Some of the widow dolls made by Madame Talbot.

The gothy cliche-ness of this photo just fills me with joy.

Wait, is this a real teapot that exists? I LOVE it.
