... transforming the mainstream and Halloween is here!!! (sorta)...

My best friend who isn't goth but certainly loves the darker side of things had an Origami Owl party. Actually, she had two. One was last year and one was an online party last week. I can almost always find something to buy at these parties whether it be Origami Owl, Pampered Chef, Tupperware... you name it.

My new items arrived today and here it is to prove that Everyday CAN BE Halloween. Here is an ordinary bubbly company which has items that when put together can be a bit dark. I will note that the pumpkin is more salmon than orange and it kind of bugs me. The bat is also not an official Origami Owl but one that fits the necklaces. Nevertheless, I like this new combination.

I also want to note that Pottery Barn Halloween is out! They're not officially advertising on their main page but if you search, you can find the new 2014 collection. I bought the Hanging Skeleton Salt & Pepper Shakers this evening. My Walking Dead skeletons are back! Technically it's a serving bowl but I use it as a flower vase!

    1. If it helps, most of the cool stuff is online :-/ It's nice to see things in person, I know.

  2. I had to google search to get an explanation of Origami Owl. He he I first thought that it was folding owl from paper :D, maybe because I love owls. The pendant is lovely.
    Oh Potterybarn! I ordered the full size skeleton last year and it has made a success in our home. Mr Bones are our house elf, watching over us at night. It has actually become a lot calmer in our bedroom at night after I placed him there. Call it imitation magic.

    1. I was looking at Mr. Bones online yesterday and thinking he was so adorable and looks like he's smiling. :D

  3. Pottery Barn now ship to the UK! And their stuff is stunningly gorgeous... but so expensive. I wish I had the money to buy so much of the classy Halloween stuff coming out of America because it's just so Gothic, but I don't. Most Halloween stuff /here/ is cheap, tacky, cartoonish plastic junk :( That hanging skeleton is BEAUTIFUL but I haven't figured out how it works as a salt-and-pepper shaker! I hope you enjoy it when it arrives.
