I'm baaack...2018...

 Well, here I go again, it's 2018, I've moved to
Florida and I'm selling my strange in a shop called
Bobby tiques in Arcadia, Fl.
Bobby shares my love of strange...who knew...

 I'm still making my crazy doll head nightlights
under the name of Cracked in the Head and
they will all have this lil' badge of honor
attached to them.

 I'm also painting zombie dolls, cuz nobody
likes cutesy, right...

 Oh my, why yes I am, painting lil' zombie babies...
and why not, cute huh...

 Lots of fun stuff including 'Dingle Babies'...
'Photo Bombs' and 'Cabinet Creepers'...

So, if you don't like what I do, it's OK cuz,
I got a sign for you...heh heh...

Bring it on...

The twins...well, sorta...
conjoined babies...sick, yet sweet...right...

Awesome silver jewelry, pendants, cuffs,
pins n lots of cool shit...

 More creepy tattooed babies...heh heh...

 Hand-painted creepy shit...n such...

Fun signs, all made at the store...
very tongue in cheek...

 Gothic n shabby furniture...

 'Cracked in the Head' nightlights...oh boy...

 yup, another one...

And yes, our motto...
if yer skeered, ya better git on outta here...
we show no mercy, but boy are we fun
and so is the store...Candle Shed Effect...
check us out on FB...

The 'CREEP' factor...

 Another 'Cracked in the Head Nightlight' is born

First you grunge an old clock case
with paints n cinnamon...
lobotomize the baby head to affix the cord...add bulb...

Then you add a creepy baby to it's inside...
note-the creepier the better,
this one was especially suited for a clock case,
as most of it's stuffing was beat out of it
and it's skin was cracked and peeling...PERFECT,
right...

Well...of course they're not for everyone...BUT...
who cares, the ones that matter, get it!
At home in my laboratory(studio)
babies await their own personal
creep factor...AND...
it's the season of the crazies...be afraid...!

An update...Candle Shed Effect...our store...

 Gotta love the 'Cracked in the Head' nightlights,
they just make ya smile, eh...

 And the 'Photobombs'...these old portraits
now make a statement though tongue in cheek...
we love them!

 Madame Talbot posters framed in vintage frames
are awesome...

 Always new painted furniture pushing style to the limit...

 I'm loving this old parlor chair, creepy baby
and of course our guy...the Dude...

 Creepy toys abound...

 and abound...

Is it possible to have too much fun...
NOT...

Money in hampsters...

I've been sewing Victorian lampshades for years..
the trends in these shades has changed,
however, my style and tastes have changed as well!


I found this great company that sells
the most awesome fabrics...'Spoonflower'...

Lamp is for sale at our shop, Candle Shed Effect...$45. for set...hee hee...

Leftovers...the less desirable...

In the antique biz, we all have stuff
that just doesn't sell...right...

 Pictures with broken glass and damage...

 or someone else's relatives...

so why not dress them up with some
cheeky comments...crazy I know,
but they sell...lol

Been a long time comin'...we're baaaack...

 But I'm back to bloggin'...

on an old lamp base...sweet huh!
