There’s a certain enchantment in blending oddities, antiques, and magickal items—a charm that transforms a space into something truly unique. It’s what draws people to shop with us, seeking not just decorations, but a story, a vibe, an energy. When done with intention, this style isn’t just a look—it’s a feeling. It’s warm, personal, and alive with character.

We believe your home is more than a place; it’s a reflection of the energy you cultivate. That’s why we’re always on the hunt for treasures that speak to this energy. Antique paintings, vintage frames with gilded edges, dark stained woods, and deep blacks. Vases filled with dried florals and herbs. Antique books stacked with purpose, mirrors that hold whispers of the past, bells that ring with a touch of magick, and curiosities that spark wonder.

Every piece in our collection is either handmade or hand-selected with care. We seek items with soul—pieces that carry stories, radiate uniqueness, and infuse spaces with meaning.

Tonight, I added to our gallery wall with a new handmade piece: a besom crafted with intention. Birch branches, evergreen, lavender, orange, amethyst, quartz, wooden beads, and a bell. Every element was chosen for its purpose, woven together to enhance the energy in the heart of our home.

I’m in love with how it turned out, and I’d love to craft one for your home, too—a piece filled with intention, beauty, and a touch of magick to make your space truly yours.

We are often asked if we make our own intention candles. The answer is a resounding YES! Not only do I pour each candle by hand, but I also crafted the molds myself—because every detail matters when it comes to intention.

To ensure the purest energy, I cleanse our space (and everything in it!) with cedar and pine before I begin. Every step is intentional: from choosing the perfect wax colors and herbs to focusing on one intention at a time. Today’s creations were for health, protection, and peace from negativity. 🌿✨

It’s a messy, magical process—think tornado meets tranquility—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Wishing you health, protection, and peace in all your celebrations today, whatever they may look like. 🖤

The doll that spooked us. Part III, the final part.

So I ended part II discussing how there were newspaper pieces torn up and mixed into all the arms, legs, and the head of this doll. The person who put the articles in the limbs and head didn’t want it to be easy to find or piece together these pieces, so they shuffled all the pieces among the parts of the doll.
Some pieces went together pretty easily. Other parts were just words, making it harder. But after a number of hours I was able to piece together a few stories, a comic book strip, a photo, and a title of the newspaper.
The articles, as you can see in the second picture, are about a mother who k***ed herself and her two children, an 80 year old woman who was m*****ed (4 young men were arrested for this), and a woman who escaped being kidnapped.
Funny enough. We found a follow up article about the 80 year old woman passing. The 4 young men were acquitted of the elderly woman’s m***er, so no one has been found guilty of the 1976 crime.
This means none of these crimes have been solved, to our knowledge (we will keep looking for more follow up stories).
Take from all of this what you will…
Here the doll is. With her articles.
The doll that spooked us.
We aren’t sure yet if we will sell her or keep her to put in our future storefront. But for now, she is stored away safely waiting for us to reattach her limbs.

What do you think? Why would these articles be here? Who put them there? What was their intention of keeping them? Maybe it was an elaborate joke…

The doll that soooked us part II.

My daughter, her boyfriend, and myself went estate sale shopping. One of the first estate sales we went to was what I’ve been calling “the doll house.” This house was stuffed with dolls- the garage, the basement, the hallways, the kitchen, and then an entire room filled with dolls. We did not know this when we went to the estate sale.
I went to the basement and was excited to find some creepy looking dolls when my daughter ran down to me and told me the entire house was full of them. We left this estate sale with over 30 dolls and we didn’t make a dent in the collection.
This particular doll stuck out because she was older, had painted eyes and no wig like most dolls. I did not plan on painting or changing anything about her. She would make a good dark academic or slightly spooky decoration exactly how she is.
A few nights later I took her out of the box I carried them home in, and when I picked her up- her two legs clanked together pretty hard. Oops! I chipped the back of her thigh pretty good…
But there was bandaging sticking out of the chipped part of her leg.
I’m an oddities shop owner. So im curious. Probably to a fault. So of course I pull the bandaging out of the chipped leg. Behind the bandaging? Newspaper. Old torn up newspaper. That’s fun, right? I want to see when and where she is from, so I’d like to put the newspaper pieces together. So I do. But pieces are missing, and I can tell there are a few stories crumpled in here. One of the headlines is complete, and it has my spooked attention.
So I carefully take off the next leg, and there is more newspaper. Ok, let’s look at an arm- more newspaper. Next arm, more. Of course we are taking her head off now. And you’ve guessed it, more news paper. The thing is, it isn’t random news paper. It’s a few specific articles torn up and mixed up into the various limbs and head. So it wasn’t one article per appendage. It was a few articles, torn, and mixed to make it harder to piece them together…

Listen…

We’ve seen a lot of odd stuff, we are an oddities business. We live for the spooky, the strange, the things that make you glance over your shoulder. Recently, we stumbled upon a massive doll collection at an estate sale, so you’ve probably seen a lot of doll posts as we work our way through that collection.

But this specific doll —this one has us- the spooky family, the odd business, the haunted collectors- it has US on edge.

Stay tuned for story time. You won’t want to miss this...
