A Collision of Red & Black

Okay so crazy me....I was sitting here pondering what amazing items to Blog about next when I got this "brilliant" idea to share with all you wonderful followers all of the magnificent items from the Time Travelers Team that coincide both red and black together.  To my amazement...there are several more than I anticipated!  So this post will actually be 2 posts!

Now that I have kept you at the edge of your seat while I rambled let's begin our tour through the black of night and down through the rivers red with blood.

RingMistress Top Hat
This gorgeous hat adds appeal and flare by: Ecraftic.  Wouldn't this be a lovely addition to your wardrobe?  I could see a young lady wearing this with her long black prom dress too!

Vampire's Kiss Gothic Steampunk Necklace
 No need to wait for a special occasion to wear this beauty from : Thereset.  It adds a nice touch of steampunk to your everyday jeans and t-shirt routine.  All of your friends will be jealous of your unique and fun necklace.

Okay, so you have the hat, the necklace and now what?  You obviously need earrings!  No outfit or style is quite complete with out a stunning pair of earrings.  Keep your fashion statement going with these long dangle earrings by: amth13.

Ready for a night out on the town?  Don't forget your Red & Black Damask Clutch from: Weird Plush.  This clutch is so pretty with the black and red damask pattern just screaming to be taken home!  Another great addition to any outfit!

 
 Keep a small notebook with you at all times for those little notes, messages, and shopping lists that we all seem to forget!  Keep these little reminders close and in mind with the Tuscan Door Small Notebook from: Luckycees Closet.  Who said keeping little reminders had to be boring?


Small Notebook
As I bring this post to an end...I would like to keep you with the friendly reminder that it's always good to journal!  Whether it be about your day, a list of crafts you'd like to create or perhaps a memory of some dreams that you have had.  Writing can keep us positive and uplifted.  And most importantly keep these thoughts together so that you may go back and reread them from time to time.

Mina Hollow Book Secret Safe Box
 This safe box from Boitifole is a unique way to keep your journal (or other special items) in a safe and sound spot that you can keep hidden away just for you!

I hope you have enjoyed the tour of Red & Black and will check back often as the tour will continue.....Mwahahahaha :)

They Creep...They Crawl....And They Spin Through The Night

Personally, I have never been one to like Spiders.  I've always found them to be creepy, crawly, hairy, and jumpy little creatures.  With that being said, with Halloween on my mind, I think of spooky spider webs with black spiders lurking in their midst (I prefer the fake webs and spiders found in stores :D). 

 I decided to browse through our team and see what "Spiderific" items I could find lurking within shop corners, just waiting to be pounced upon.

Halloween Crow Magnet
Check out the Spider lace on this awesome magnet by: Luckycees Closet.  Doesn't it just make you feel like a black widow or black jumping spider is lurking in the midst?


If you take a liking to arachnids, you must see these three pendants from: Mad Scientists Designs.  Each one is unique with it's own shape and colors.  Pendants that will surely creep their way into your desire.
Upcycled Pog Pendant - Green Spider
Upcycled Pog Pendant
Upcycled Pog Pendant - White Spider
Be the talk of the party or any other occasion with this Spider Choker from: Brackish Society.  It adds a flair to goth with a blingy spider pendant dangling from the front!

Looking for some amazing tags for your packages or gifts?  Why not get some of these web spinning tags or Haunting Halloween card from : Immortal Visions?  The colors and images are sure to get you pumped and ready for Halloween this year!
Halloween Candy Bag Gift Tags - Spider Webs
Halloween Greeting Card
Every outfit needs that finishing touch hair accessory to make it complete and this hair bow from: Assylum Garden is it!  The vibrant orange and spider web middle make it a fun addition to any fall and Halloween outfit this year!
Orange and Black Spotted Spider Web Hair Bow
Want to be a scream?  Add this spider pony tail holder from: Annaleahy to your hair accessory collection.  It looks so realistic, your friends and family will think you have a pet spider in your hair!

As I finish up this "Spiderific" journey through our team, I'd like to end with some fantastic jewelry pieces presented to you from: RavensCrafts.  Raven has cute spider and web earrings for those who are more squeamish with spiders (Like me! These are too cute to creeep :D). 
Spider and Web Lampwork Bead Earrings
Arachne's Folly Locket
This piece by: Ravens Craft is more detailed and gives me realistic feeling just seeing this little spider who appears to be stuck in time spinning!

Last but hopefully not least lol, from my personal shop: Oursj, a cute bottlecap  spider bracelet - stretchy to fit most wrists!

Not All Cookie's Are Edible! ;)

Winona Cookie is a wonderful artist that designs many forms of art, including children's illustrations, jewelry, collages and more!  Ever stop by the Time Travelers Team Home?  Well that wonderful and unique image was created by Ms. Cookie and she was gracious enough to allow our team to use it!

Tarot Card Box

How cool would it be to store your very own set of tarot cards in such an unique piece of art such at this Tarot card Box that Ms. Cookie designed?  Even though I do not specialize in readings, I could easily come up with some interesting uses for such a clever looking box.

If the Tarot Box doesn't tickle your fancy, perhaps this Specimen box will, as every time I look at it, it makes me feel like I've escaped to an island in the middle of the ocean.  A place where I can relax, play in the sand with my kids and drink a fun and fruity drink with one of those cute and vibrant colored umbrellas....ah....yes....the sailor's life!
Specimen Box - Octopus

Reference - Winona Cookie isn't the shop owners real name - however a fictional person - but I'll let you learn more about that when you visit her shop :D
