creepy doll head

A blogger friend of mine recently found this horrific little piece on a thrifting adventure.  (See her original post.)  And in deciding whether or not to sell her newfound porcelain infant friend on Etsy, she discovered an entire world dedicated to unsettling porcelain homonculi.  Never one to shy away from the creepy side of decor , I decided to do a little roundup of my own.  Sweet dreams!

What do you think?  Crafty, or creepy?  And what is the ultimate purpose for these antiquated bisque statues?  Maybe a creepy, creepy Christmas tree?  Or should they simply be left alone?

I’m absolutely LOVING these intricate prints by etsy seller OSoo. They’re just so gorgeous in their neutral tones and detailed bits.

I just found this shop this week, and I don’t know much about it, and it’s pretty new (only 7 sales!). Show it some love! Awesome art at awesome prices. What more could you ask for?

I’m thinking this one will look great in our new bedroom, we’re planning a mustard yellow and soft green color scheme! It’ll be perfect!

Check out the OSoo shop here
and have a fantastic day!
