Creepy Christmas with The Shadow Farm

As I am sure I have mentioned before, one of my favorite artists is Dave the Dead at The Shadow Farm.  Well, I had to involve all my remarkably eerie figures (more like friends) with all my 'Burton'-esqe Christmas decor.  Here are a few of my favorite pictures  of Monte, Dr. Mortenson and Andreas.  Oh, and my Plague Doctor, I cannot forget him!.

Andreas in his holiday scarf.

A troubled trio.  I just love them!

Christmas Tea

I did have the privilege of being part of a Mort Christmas Tea over the Holiday Season.  

Some of the goodies.

Silly Morts!

Pretty Presents

One thing that I pride myself on is my gift wrapping.  I love to wrap pretty gifts.  It is all about finding the right paper and the right ribbon.  Luckily, most morts do not have the same taste in wrapping paper as I do which makes after holiday shopping a breeze and I usually find some wonderful bargains.

Below are some examples.  It does take a fair amount of time but I believe it is completely worth it!

(Notice that I always use Krampus gift tags!)

You can never go wrong with a black and white striped ribbon!

Black, Silver and Red.  A perfect color combination.

 

Teal and Brown are a favorite of mine - Blog colors!

 Black 'wallpaper' and dark Green ribbon are also a perfect pair!

 

A nice green with a black pin stripe and a black tulle ribbon.

Krampus Crafts

One fun Krampus decoration I made and used over the holidays was the pipe cleaner Krampus.  Not only are they versitile and inexpensive favors to give away but they can be used with almost anything. 

  

Evidently, Krampus is a fan of shortbread.

  ... and a nice pot of tea.

   

 This wonderful little piece of ingenuity comes from one of my favorite Krampus blogs called 

krampuslauf philadelphia.  

If you are a Krampus fan, there blog is a must read!

Mr. Fleam's Christmas Fez

I wanted to post a couple of pictures of the Fez that Mr. Fleam ordered from Fez-O-Rama for the Christmas holidays!  I was lucky enough to come across the package first and opened it up.

On the front is our most beloved Krampus.

One the back is a basket full of naughty children.

One of my favorite touches is the tentacle tassel holder.  The picture does not do it justice.

A lovely piece.  I cannot recommend Fez-O-Rama more highly for all of your Fez and Fez accessory needs.  We will be ordering from them again!
