Laurie Brown

I knew my bird foot fetish had become potentially dangerous when I discovered Laurie Brown's line of jewelry. Her work is soooo amazing, a Wunderkammer of found natural objects immortalized in silver and gold! Tiny seahorses, shells, bones, bird feet, acorns, coral branches...oh, desire! She also casts larger pieces, you can view her gallery of art objects, jewelry, and works in progress on flickr. Her jewelry is available in her Etsy shop!

Shop Update, Ect...

Gosh it's been a while! I've been so busy...so many changes, but I won't go into any of that right now! I'll be back blogging on a regular basis soon as I sort through some of the chaos I'm currently experiencing. I've added a couple of really cool items to my Etsy shop. Check out this amazing Antique Mandragora (aka Mandrake) Apothecary Jar! A must have for any Witchy Woman, Herbalist, or collector of strange medical antiques!



I've also added the second Witchy Taxidermy Raven Claw necklace. The last one I posted sold immediatly so don't sleep on it. I will only have one more after this. Taxidermy raven claws don't grow on trees ya know!



The girl who bought the first claw asked about it's origin after she received it and wrote "the raven claw is simply breathtaking (tell me, do you know if it came from a raven or a crow? where did the specimen come from?)" So if any of you are curious too I wrote "The claw was found here in my local Humboldt Park, Chicago (207 acre urban sanctuary) home to many wonderful creatures. I found two different specimens actually...one looked as if had been eaten mostly, the raccoons I'm guessing. And the other, quite flattened. I'm gross and salvaged what I could...always looking for a good skull! I'm not sure if they are from Raven or Crow for sure...but I beleive it is from the common raven due to it's size, a very large bird!" So there you have it! Have a lovely week everyone! xo Lavona

Bird Foot Fetish!

I recently aquired the coolest letter opener in the world...well, to me anyway. It appears to be a chicken/rooster foot, and I love it. It's made of brass and should polish up nicely!




I bought my Mom this darling little vanity mirror a while back. I'm not sure if she really liked it though. Everytime I go to her house I want to smuggle it back home with me! I got it at my friend Amy's boutique, Willow. I'm thinking maybe I need one for myself too! Cute huh?



And my bird foot obssession continues. I love this porclien candle holder by D.L. & Company! Actually I love everything from Douglas Little...the man has fine taste. I'll take one of everything pretty please!
