Yard Sale Finds of the Week - Halloween Edition

I love searching estate sales, yard sales and flea markets for new items to put into my collection of horror related items and creepy curiosities, not to mention they are a great location to find items for my online ETSY store. This weekend, I was lucky enough to find some great vintage Halloween items (some in mutiples) and Ben Cooper Costumes, making them somewhat easier to part with if I decide. With only 21 days until the greatest holiday ever, who knows what I will decide.

Etsy Update

I have finally got to adding some items to my ETSY page. While, I do still have a bunch of stuff to get to, I have added a nice variety of OOAK, and Curiosity Cabinet related items.

Apocalypse Special

As I was sitting here today reflecting on my life and the potential Apocalypse tomorrow, I decided that I cannot take stuff with me. With that in mind, I believe that it is time to clear out some stuff on my ETSY page. Due to the impending Zombie Apocalypse and the end of the world as we know it, anyone can take 10% off any item in my etsy shop this weekend by using coupon code: JUDGEMENTDAY

Slimeball the Clown, a OOAK zombie clown wall hanging. Who knows, once I recover, maybe I will sacrifice some of these to my ETSY page.

ETSY Update - OOAK Jersey Devil Items

What a great game this past week as the Steelers moved one step closer to a seventh Super Bowl title. Tonight, I was bored and decided to start adding to and updating my ETSY page. Below are some pictures of the items that I relisted from the OOAK Jersey Devil Collection. More items will be following soon, so keep checking back!

He is Watching



Everyone has heard of the Jersey Devil, the winged creature that has been tormenting the Garden State and the Pine Barrons for almost Three centuries. With that in mind, we have created a line of OOAK wall-hanging heads to pay homage to this mysterious creature. This demon complete with real horns (deer antlers) hangs quietly staring outward waiting to overtake the world.

On The Wings of a Legend

Everyone has heard of the Jersey Devil, the winged creature that has been tormenting the Garden State and the Pine Barrons for almost Three centuries. With that in mind, we have created a line of OOAK bottles to pay homage to this mysterious creature. Each bottle that is used as the base material of the sculpture has been discovered and rescued from Leeds Point, where in 1735 Mother Leeds gave birth to a 13th child, the famed Jersey Devil that escaped into the fabric of of Americana.

 

This winged demon stands staring outward with an original poem on its chest. The poems states

Every night he struggles with the loneliness
His mind wandering the pathways that will be
Hoping to find the love of a mother lost
Or a life never shared
His torment, in this world we now share
Within the reeds he calls home

Myth or legend
Devil or angel
Forever he will survive
A lone link to days of yore
A dark shadow in the fabric of the whispering pines
Following his golden spiral of life

ETSY Find of the Week - Jezebel

Here in the Sideshow, we believe that everyone has a right to hangout with the undead. With that in mind, we have created OOAK Zombie dolls to keep you company when it is cold outside, or to keep you in the mood in between zombie walks.


Each doll that is used has been recycled from misc dolls we have picked up during our travels. From there, they are transformed into members of our sideshow where they will stand until someone comes along and opens their arms to embrace these beautiful creatures.

Tonight, Jezebel stands staring outward from her cage waiting to overtake the world with her beauty. Pick her up today!
