Happy Halloween From Indie Junction!!

Happy Halloween Everyone!  We are going to take a departure from our usual Indie Junction Featured Artisans Series and take a look at what kinds of Halloween type items pop up when we do a search of our Indie Junction Community!!
Let's start with this wonderful Felted Soap in Sage Lemongrass by RawOlive, a shop that features natural bath and beauty products made with olive oil! This moisturizing, hand-crafted soap wrapped in naturally anti-fungal wool to create an exfoliating, fragrantly lathering, bath bar that lasts much longer than a regular bar of soap. When done, reuse the pouf by making a small slit and slipping your own bar inside.

Earthy and herbal at its best. The sage in this soap mellows out the bright lemongrass to create a beautiful foodie soap blend. Perfect for the kitchen sink.

And it looks like a pumpkin!!

This Big Black Bat Stained Glass Halloween Decoration by Ogden Arthaus made the rounds in treasuries this Halloween season and with good reason!  He's not only beautifully made...he's got an adorable face, don't you think?  "This bat is ghoulishly adorable. With an imposing wing span of nearly 8 inches and a 4 1/2 inch body from ear to tummy, he's got fright he hasn't even used yet! Watch out!  Created in the traditional Tiffany Style of stained glass, I have cut, ground, foiled and soldered him in my dark and creepy home laboratory. His little face was created with glass paint. How utterly Frankensteinien of me."

Our very own Plump Fairy came up with some Ghostly Tatted Jewelry for the Halloween season.  "BOO!! Express your Halloween spirit with lacey tatted earrings and necklace. The earrings hang from sterling silver wires. The Ghost motif necklace hangs from rings attached to satin ribbon with adjusting chain and lobster clasp. Both are tatted with fine cotton thread. The necklace is approximately 21 in/53.34 cm in diameter adjustable down to 18 in/45.72 cm. The earrings hang approximately 2 in/5.08 cm from wires." Talk about beautiful and scary at the same time!!

Here is one of several Halloween themed soap sets by Creativexpressions76...it's a Set of 12 White Mini Skull Sets where you can choose your own fragrance! What a wonderful gift! "What does 1 plastic Halloween cup, 4 Halloween rings and 12 skull soaps have in common? They're all to DIE for and are included in our mini skull soap set!! The 12 soaps weighs approx 8.5 oz. and you get to choose your fall fragrances from 9 different fragrances.  Each bar of soap is individually wrapped in biodegradable shrinkwrap.  Glycerin is a humectant and draws moisture to your skin, allowing it to remain hydrated and soft. It is especially good for sensitive skin. Glycerin soap does not contain synthetic ingredients that will cause skin irritations. It keeps your skin looking and feeling healthy and soft."

Here is an Original Oil Painting of Funny Cat Ornament by A F Studio!  "This tiny painting is full of personality and wit. Original oil painting by Andie Freeman of one of my favorite quirky items. I got this Halloween ornament about 15 years ago at a craft fair. It is creepy and goofy and kind of cute at the same time. So, this painting on a 5 inch square linen canvas can grace your home with the same quirky personality. It is 1.5 inches deep and requires no frame. The beautiful linen canvas is exposed on the sides and parts of the front. It comes with a hanging wire attached, and a bio. It is signed on the front and titled, dated and signed on the back."

Indie Junction's Resonates made this great Going Batty Necklace! "From our Repurposed Collection :: We love finding fun, spooky Halloween decorations, like this silly black bat flying on our repurposed necklace."

And I could go on and on...this is just a small sampling from all the wonderful and creative work you will find from our Indie Junction Artisans!!

Hope you enjoyed our tribute to Halloween this week!  If you'd like to know more about our Indie Junction Artisan Community, just go here!

Hilda Witches Hat - CHOOSE YOUR COLOR - Black Felted Wool Crochet - LAST WEEK TO PURCHASE by Three Little Birds NOLA


This is one of the first of many hats I will be coming out with. It is hand crocheted by me in 100% wool/mohair blend and then felted, starched for stiffness and embellished with hand cut silk flowers, wool felt leaves, peacock fur feathers and other feathery plumes.  I will be placing many of these up for sale in the very near future in many more colors and sizes, all of them custom made to your liking. If you place an order for this particular design it will not be exactly like the one in the picture but very close since I make each one per order, only the color combination and elements displayed will be consistent.  If you would rather have the same elemental design but different color hat (see yarn color pallet) and/or flower preference, please do not hesitate to ask.  Make sure you give my shop a good look around, you may just find exactly what you need and if you don't I am sure between the two of us, I can come up with something that will make you happy.  Hat is lined with a stretch velvet, fleece or stretch knit for comfort.  Hat shown is approximately 11" high and 21.5" in circumference of the interior, it will fit a large sized adult head cocked to one side or a medium adult head sitting atop.  LAST WEEK TO PURCHASE TO ARRIVE IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN! PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR DETAILS.  *****Very cool witch's hat, don't you think?*****
And don't forget the treats!!
