Spooky Reads - Oyster Boy

Looking for a little summer reading to get in the Hallows eve mood? Check out one of my faves from the master himself, Tim Burton. I present, The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories. With all those cool illustrations, of course, comes some awesome merchandising...



I imagine Tim Burton living in Halloween town year round. I wonder what the inside of his house looks like...

Spooky Sales - Stock up now!

There are a few key times to stock up on Halloween goodies... one is, of course, doing it right after the Holiday, when stores are trying to get rid of their leftover inventory. The other, however, is just before most Halloween merchandise hits the shelves, because stores are trying to clear out for this year's new stuff. So, here are some of the Halloween goodies you can snap up now...


Wrapables is having a sale on some of last season's spooky goods. Check out some of the tricks and treats they have on sale right now!


Target has a few too, but it's somewhat slim pickings, since it gets pretty well cleaned out during the Halloween season...


However, if you're looking for this season's stuff, well there's always a store that starts before everyone else... check out some of the blinged out skulls you can find right now at Michaels! Me, I'm trying to resist at least until September, we'll see how long that lasts...

A Halloween Apothecary

I've noticed a new trend rising up that I quite fancy taking up myself... apothecary jars! I love apothecary jars because they have a great vintage-y, somewhat "mad scientist" feel depending on how you use em. What's great is they can suit any season depending on what goods you fill them with... and what better use than for Halloween! Check out some of my favorite apothecary Halloween finds...





You can find these at The Garden Web, The Steampunk Home blog (awesome blog!!), Vintage Mint, Pottery Barn, and the Hostess Blog.

Allice In Wonderland - Teaser

OK, so it's not entirley Halloween, but its Tim Burton, so it's practically the same thing...

Deadly DIY - Halloween Altered Book

Speaking of scrapbooking and stamping... check out this sweet project from Honey Girl Studio. More pics and a full on awesome tutorial on the blog. I need to start getting in on this "stamping" thing...

A stampin' good Halloween

Paper craft has always been a bit of a mystery to me. "Scrapbooking" always conjured up images of old ladies sticking teddy bear stickers on everything, but as I've discovered, stamping, paper work and scrapbooking have some pretty hip tricks up their sleeve. Check out the new stuff from Stampin Up that showed up on Lisa Somerville's blog... is that skull cool or what?


There are more goodies where that came from. Check out some of her previous Halloween crafts, this one featuring some yummy Halloween treat ideas...
