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: Lady Moon Designs!!

Hello everyone! *waves* You can consider this the equivalent of a recorded message, cause right now, I'm either killing time at Heathrow's airport, or flying towards Delhi & the bf!


But, I thought that wasn't a reason to abandon the blog, and thanks to Blogger scheduled posts, I'm bringing you yet another edition of Wearing Handmade Wednesday!


Lady Moon Designs Dark Love Shrug


Lady Moon Designs is the perfect shop for you to visit if you want tops, skirts, jackets, corsets with an alternative sense of fashion and a healthy dose of goth! Anna, the very talented designer, seamstress and one-woman-factory behind it, lives in Tasmania (how cool is that?). Her pieces are gorgeous, with the coolest fabrics and great quality! I own many pieces, including some sexy underbust corsets! Now, I have my eye in a Ring Master jacket with that amazing purple skull damask fabric... And, if you need more reasons to visit her shop, she offers Free Worldwide Shipping!
