My favorite holiday is Halloween, and i love those old school style decorations. These were based on fantasy costume concepts from back then, a little pumpkin child and a black cat that kinda looks like someone in black face to me. I got them at Joann's Fabric store a while back. I love that place!!! I wanted to get more but they were mostly broken and already sold off. TT-TT
In the center is a day of the dead doll (of myself) that my aunt made for me. My sister also has one. (love it!)
The two dolls are actually McDonald's toys based on the wizard of Oz, I got mine at a garage sale. There is a bobble head bat from peru.... well technically some mexican guys garage- but not the point, and my beautiful miniature grave of a crying stone angel. It's based on a real grave- I hope mine looks like that when I die. (ok, that was creepy, but I wasn't trying to sound all dead loving there- I just like tombstones)
^^ Just wanted to share
Good luck charms I wear nearly everyday. The dog tag I have worn for nearly 3 1/2 years, it's my fiancé's from back in high school when he was in rotc. There is a black crystal, a clear crystal, amethyst, a mayan capricorn pendent, and a figa. A figa is a small hand from south america that will bring it's owner good luck, but only if the owner received it as a gift from someone else. This one was a present from my mom.

The above is the contents of my mojo bag, aka gris gris. There is dried wormwood I decorated with some beads, my first 4 leaf clover sealed in glass, a taxidermy alligator head my grandfather use to take with him everywhere, a dyed pink rabbit foot, a beach rock a crab drilled a hole through with his claw (just cuz it's cool), a piece of Onyx stone, a shark tooth, a lucky buddha, a gold dollar with the statue of liberty on it, a Hindu Sheiba pendent, and dried mint.
These are all either typical mojo bag items or other items of good luck I decided to add. There is always suppose to be an odd number of items, anywhere between 3- 13, I have 11.


Opium/ perfume bottles, and some of my netsukes. I just absolutely love collecting these small and beautiful wonders. I get most of these things from the swap meat at veteran's stadium.
