More Spooky Goodness

While my time for blogging is limited, I did give myself an assignment for October, didn't I? I can't believe it is already half over.

Enjoy a few more of my favorite items from the darker side of Etsy.

Stump Pond Toys

And now for a completely different kind of toy from the last I featured!

Retired Merchant Marine Wyit Wright of Stump Pond Toys began selling his amazing wooden toys 25 years ago. Made from hardwoods without any harsh stains that could hurt the little ones, these toys are built to last! They are lovely enough to display on a shelf, but why would you want to? These toys are meant to be played with and withstand whatever abuse your active little one can put out. No worrying about little plastic bits or toxic chemicals in little hands or mouths.

Here are some examples of his work, but please visit Stump Pond Toys to see more of his collection!

Sock Horror!

Straight out of a sock monkey's worst nightmare comes SockHorror.etsy.com!

Charlotte, the proverbial puppet master of these creatures, shows us a glimpse into what happens when good socks are led over to the dark side into a universe known as the Doldrums.

Truly unique and often blood-stained (puppet blood, that is), these creatures fall into the categories of Doldrums (your everyday citizen), Gore (poor hapless creatures that often meet a brutal and untimely end), and Icons (mysterious human-like characters). Each Sock Horror also comes with it's own personalized toe tag and body bag.

You'll never view your sock drawer the same way again.

It is my distinct pleasure to introduce you to Urtha and Blarp. Visit Sock Horror to learn more about the Doldrums and its ghastly inhabitants.
