The “ReUse” People

Went out today, in the 113 degree weather, to visit The ReUse People here in Los Angeles. Amongst old doors, windows and hardware I found a great vintage-looking wall sconce, the perfect addition to our haunted mansion. I also found some old lamp shades for a buck! I will definitely be visiting them again soon, hopefully when it’s not a thousand degrees.

Visit them at www.TheReUsePeople.org

Have yourself a merry little Halloween…

Last October I was contacted by someone who inquired about using some of my potion labels in their miniature Halloween-themed townhouse. Of course I was more than thrilled to have my work featured in the project! Here are some quick snapshots they took of the progress they’ve made. How cool is this?

More photos to come! Thank you so much Gayle, I feel honored to be a part of such a unique and imaginative display! Oh what I’d give to curl up on a chair in there.

Halloween Weddings

Now, it does seem like a dramatic change from your average traditional white wedding. Most people probably think gothic, blood, metal studs and the like. However, a Halloween wedding can truly be a beautiful thing. Just look at these inspiration collages.

Now I just need to find a that special lady that doesn’t mind this type of look. What are your thoughts on a Halloween styled wedding? Would you do it? What’s your vision of one? If your significant other isn’t up to this, then you could easily coalesce these ideas into a Halloween party. Be sure to search “Halloween wedding” on Google’s new image search for some more clever ideas! Above photo credits: WedShare Flickr!

Okay so I forgot to put up an Easter post but thought these Easter eggs were just too cool not to show everyone. Have to try this out next year. Hope you all had a great Easter!

What a terrific idea. Using birch bark tubes around lighting fixtures would make a great addition to the home haunt. Place them throughout your graveyard infront of tombstones, under trees or line your walkways/walls to create a illuminated pathway for trick or treaters. To create your own, click here.
