Creepy, Kooky, Mysterious, Spooky

October 30, 2007 by WendyB

Nothing says “Happy Halloween” like an 18K skull with white sapphire eyes.

This charming little skull complements the Juana ring. Email me at wbjewelry (at) hotmail dot com for price.

I think the skull-shaped chocolate by Valerie Confections, pictured below, would be a lovely hostess gift for the Addams family should you get invited over tonight (beware of boiling liquids from above). If you get one for yourself, eat it quickly before the queen of chic, Melissa Rivers, finds out.

Thanks, Lynn, for alerting me to the candy cranium via StyleHive.

Halloween is my second-favorite holiday. My favorite is New Year’s Eve. Here I am celebrating Y2K, sandwiched between my husband and my sister, Terri Berry.

Paul looks like he’s trying to grin and bear it. Terri Berry looks like she tickling me. I look like I’m saying:

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

    I’m new and v. interested in reading what’s been going on around here. Don’t be freaked if your stats show that I’ve been here for awhile! I’m just looking around. I love jewelry- especially one-of-a-kind piecies that are a bit unique.

    The skull necklace is really cute! My sister loves all these kind of things… I would really want to get her something like that. I spent a fortune saving up for a stainless steel skull pendant for her gift two months ago.

    I never thought I’d say this about a skull, but this one is so lovely and cute! Haha
    I wonder what will you be wearing this Halloween… 🙂

    i feel so deprived, hardly anyone celebrates Halloween in australia, i didn’t even get one trick-o-treater at my door this year, isn’t that sad?

    As for the skull, i really am into it, its grunge glamorously made.

    And you and you sister look IDENTICAL, i guess you all inherited your mothers gorgeous smile 🙂

    Love the skulls! I didn’t think they could be cute or glamorous, but somehow they are!

    You look like you are having a blast! Good for you!

    As for the skull. It is nice but way too spooky for me. lol! Have you considered making one that is completely covered in crystals/white sapphires/white zircons with colored stones for eyes and in white gold?

    Oh well, just wondering…

    I love that pic of New Year’s Eve! You looks so happy and having a great time. That’s my favorite time of the year too, so glamorous.

    You actually look like you are at the “AAHH” part of “Fabulous, DAAAHHHLING!” Talking about you three of course.
    I love the skull candy and necklace! Very eerie.

    I love the skull jewelry! It’s fun to rock the calacas, not just on Halloween. hee hee. Today I have on my turquoise dangly earrings with skulls hanging out.

    That Y2K picture looks like it was quite a party.
    I’ll take the skull chocolate any day. Though I suppose there is something about eating a skull, kinda like those groom’s cakes of your favorite pet–if its your favorite why would you want to eat it?

    I am going to disappoint everyone (having already disappointed myself) but I haven’t dressed up today! So sad. I’ve been inside working on my catalog. I have to get it to the printer tomorrow! I think next year I will have a Halloween party to ensure a costume-wearing opportunity. @ Solomonsydelle, I would definitely pave a skull for a customer. I would only do it in diamonds though, because you pay so much for labor in the U.S. that you have to make it worthwhile by using the good stuff. If you want to see one of the less expensive but cute pave skull pieces that I have for sale (made overseas, not by me), look here:

    i feel fear of the necklace, everything related to halloween scares me -in general- that’s why I should be happy about not having that party in Spain

    Oh My that chocolate looks amazing! Too bad you didn’t get to dress up – but I had a lecture to give, so that prevented me from enjoying the festivities also… Sorry I’ve neglected my blogging a bit!
