One That Got Away

I'm sure that any of you that go to flea markets or antique shows and collect things have at one time or another had the experience of passing something by and then realizing you can't stop thinking about it ~ so, back you go to buy it and it is GONE! Worse than that is to actually witness someone else purchasing said piece!! Even more horrific when that person is someone you know, but not well enough to be able to visit the item!!!!

Below is one of those items ~ all I have to remember it by are these two photos. Honestly, it is good that I didn't spend the $150, but that still doesn't wipe the memory from my head. Why, oh why, did I pass it by?! Now I will probably go into the dangerous "buy when you see ~ don't hesitate" mode ~ yikes! ~ my poor bank account!

Fabulous Frights ~ Decor for your Dungeon!

These are just the coolest decor you can find for Halloween ~ even more amazing in person! Whether you call it lenticular art or magic motion, these portraits change back and forth from each image depending on your viewpoint ~ not quite the quintessential "portrait with watching eyes" but just as creepy! Check out the whole family gallery here.

This weekend I made a trip to Curious Sofa to check out their Halloween fare ~ this is where I found my very own "Aunt Madeline" and "Grandpa Esbat". These don't come with frames, so I thought it would be fun to make some of my own out of painted and glittered black chipboard.
