Mister Ghost's Highly Enviable Monthly Parcel of Simple Yet Amazing Wonderments: This month's theme is "The Business of Vampires"

Click to Enlarge

With a name like Evil Supply Co. you can only imagine what might come out of production.

I came across Evil Supply Co. a couple years ago on Tumblr.  They seemed quirky and dark - two things I absolutely adore.  First, I noticed their monthly subscription service: Mister Ghost's Highly Enviable Monthly Parcel of Simple Yet Amazing Wonderments.  Yes, it's a mouthful, but rightfully so.  It brings about a sense of class, in a whimsical villain sort of way.  Each month includes an art print, an embroidered patch, two pocket notebooks, two greeting cards, and four stickers.

Then I noticed that they also produce a plethora of other paper goods as well as pins and patches.

I had found a kindred spirit.

Goals for 2016

It may be February, but I'm not the type to make "New Year's Resolutions" because I personally don't stick to them very well.  Instead I like to make a list of goals for the year, big or small, and work on things at my own pace.  This also allows me to take on new projects or ideas as they come up.

So what are my goals for 2016?

{ONE} Get my sewing machine fixed
A part broke that makes using my machine nearly impossible.  I could just buy a new one, but I love this machine and it should be a quick fix.  After it's repaired, I'll be able to show you some of my dark creations and alterations.





Darling Dead Adornment: Review featuring Mummified Baby Tortoise Head Earrings

Once upon a time I saw these earrings for sale in the Darling Dead Adornment shop.  There were only a couple pairs available and I didn't currently have the extra spending money.  Unfortunately they got snatched up pretty quickly and I was bummed, but such is the way with high quality handmade jewelry.  Luckily I knew the owner sometimes recreates popular designs if and when she gets more supplies available.

I patiently waited and eventually saw a post that she would be listing a couple more pairs in the near future.

Soon after, I saw the for-sale announcement on her Tumblr.  I raced to the website as fast as I could since I knew they wouldn't be available for very long.

I got them!

February Loot Crate Theme: DEAD

Image © Loot Crate
Loot Crate is a subscription crate featuring mystery items related to their monthly theme.  Each crate includes $45+ worth of items that may include t-shirts, books, comics, accessories, home decor items, collectibles, and exclusives from featured brands.

You can choose from 1, 3, 6 or 12 month recurring plans.  The larger the plan, the more savings you receive.  But remember, they're recurring plans.  This means that your subscription will automatically renew after its expiration.  Some people like to receive every single month regardless of the theme.  Other people like to only purchase a month subscription when they find a theme they like.  It's all up to you.




Introductions are Awkward

Welcome to my dark little corner of the internet.  Online I go by the name "GG Cure", I'm in my late 20s and live in the Midwest.  I've spent most of my life being fascinated with beauty in all things (including death), dark-themed movies and shows, and various forms of geekery (videogames, sci-fi, movies, etc).

I have a weird knack for finding neat things online, whether it's products, shops or events...and then sharing the info with all who might be interested.  This is where my blog comes in.  I post full reviews and recommendations involving the goth community, vulture culture, movies/shows, video games, and much more!
