Friday Feature: Ametista Dark Decor!

Friday is here, and with it a new edition of Friday Feature!


This week I wanna show off my bloody brilliant MoNsTeR bOx by Ametista Dark Decor! I discovered this amazing Etsy shop via Deb Gassmann's favourites, when she hearted this very box (Deb is the very talented lady behind On Cupcake Moon and my taste twin!).


Ametista's shop is full of all sorts of amazing things, from MoNsTeR bOxEs to apothecary bottles, to treacherous tea sets, to amazing mirrors and wall hangings, everything with a touch of dark, pagan and even a bit of burtonesque for good measure!


MoNsTeR bOxEs come from deep within the dark jungles of la Isla de Ametista, and they're very fierce and tricky to catch! My own box, called Dorothy's Revenge due to an unfortunate accident, witch with striped socks... as described in the listing itself: "We were taken up in a twister whilst chasing this elusive MoNsTeR bOx and when we came back down to earth, (bOx in hand) we discovered that we had somehow landed on a witch and had unfortunately and much to our dismay, crushed her, leaving nothing to view but her striped socks...poor dear!" And it's quite a well behaved box, maybe cause the witch underneath it knows another witch when she sees one, but the box hasn't tried to snap my fingers off yet! ;)




My dear box arrived so well protected and packed! Great attention to detail from the Ametista ladies, and I even got my authenticity certificates! You don't want a MoNsTeR bOx without an authenticity certificate, it might be too wild and snap your fingers off!
















With great attention to detail in every swirl and stripe of paint, and the cutest blue fur inside, this box is a proper treasure, and I'm very much in love with it, I just can't wait to have a place of my own to display it!













If you want a MoNsTeR bOx of your own, hurry up, there are two on SALE at the Etsy shop now!

Wearing Handmade Wednesday: Fabulously Fierce Home Decor!!

Wearing Handmade Wednesday time is here once again! Ready for an usual thing to wear?


"Wearing" a Fabulously Fierce Lampshade!


I've featured Kylie's pet shop before, it's where I got the collars for both Miss Cinnamon and Miss Indy, and though that shop is no more, you need to check her shiny new pet shop, The Willow Goose! But of course, this is not a feature of her pet shop, but of her amazing home decor shop, Fabulously Fierce!


Kylie's speciality are corseted lampshades! The perfect way to add a wonderful unique touch to the decor to any and all rooms in your house! They're so great that even if I don't have a place of my own yet, I got me the most awesome lampshade in history, go ahead, be jealous! You can find a lampshade to match any decor in her shop, from gothy to cutesy, and she can also make you a custom one to match your room's decor perfectly!


But, the lampshade I'm happily sporting is not the one I bought for myself, is one this lil lucky lady won on a giveaway on WhatTheCraft (you need to check this website, not only has awesome giveaways, but also all sort of info and tutorials for the crafty inclined!). This lampshade will be given to my friend Gema as part of her b-day presents next week, hope she'll like it!
