Unu Alla Volta is a wonderful source for unique, handmade items. There’s a large clearance section with great prices.

Jewelry by Patrice: “International Award winner Patrice was born in Vienna, lived in Nepal, studied in Paris and resides in Florida. Every design is a reflection of diverse cultural influences and her unique creative style. Handcrafted in Florida – each piece features semi-precious stones and is a limited edition.”

The catalogue is mouthwateringly gorgeous.

Cartoonist Jane Irwin is offering her handmade Steampunk jewelry. Click the thumbnails for a closer look.

I highly recommend Victorian Papers. While I don’t need 90% of the stuff they offer, I never tire of looking at the catalogues. The Hallowe’en goodies are a real treat.

I love this ridiculous purse:

If you’re a goth, you’ll celebrate the season year round with the decor. Spider web lace and other goodies available.

Jars like this are useful in my office.

I might leave this in my yard year round.

Sign up for the catalogue. There’s a lot in it that isn’t online, and vice versa.
