Day of the Dead Lobstah!

My latest skelly is a rubber lobster that I bought while in Maine; I primed, painted and sealed her with skelly love! Her name is Marina and I am really happy with how she turned out! Marina is for sale: $65.00 plus shipping; if you are interested, please email me! She is one of a kind, so scoop her up quick; I won't be making another! Is there an animal that you would like me to make into a skelly? Tell me in the comments!


Multiples & Repeats

I've a love of multiples of any kind, and if they are tiny, all the better! I created an Etsy Treasury to declare my zeal, and it turns out I really dig orange & aqua as well (who knew)! I'd love to know which is your favorite; tell me in the comments! (pssst: see the treasury full size here, or click on any of the images below!)

Salem & Ogunquit

My husband, Aiden, and I went on a four-day excursion to Salem, MA and Ogunquit, ME. It was so much fun (Lee Lee had a great time), and the weather was perfect (one cloudy day, but it made the sea look stunning)! 

this orange stuff was growing on some of the rocks; I took about 20 pictures of it :)

there were hundreds of these rock towers tucked into the mini beaches that led down to the sea

August Skellies-Of-The-Month!

Wow, it's already August! Here are some fun skellies to check out this month: The cat skull ring is sooo fun, the planters are genius….and how cute would that pillow look my couch (I mean your couch)! Cookies are always welcome, the embroidered zipper pulls will have people stopping you to check them out and the bottle cap magnets will make you smile every time you open the fridge door….and make you want a margarita….
