Attention peeps: we're taking a brief blogging hiatus. Our current format has become a bit stale, so we're going back to the drawing board to come up with something fresh and fantastic. In short, something distinctly, Featherette. Stay tuned!

Treasury Tuesday: "Orange Asphalt", by Eco Shag.

What I love about this treasury is the use of orange and black in a non-Halloween way. Yet, it still feels like a Halloween collection. Brilliantly done, Eco Shag, brilliantly done!

Theme Of The Week: Halloween, Part II.

We'd be silly to pass up the perfect chance to extend our Halloween theme for yet another week. After all, as is the case in Hollywood, sequels make Halloween spook-tacular!

Vintage Halloween Decor.

Why buy new [cheesy] Halloween stuff, when you can find a ton of awesome, vintage Halloween decor on Etsy? Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Paper mache jack-o-lantern, from Gizmo and Hooha.

Crow shooting target, from Legal Miss Sunshine.

Hazelle skeleton marionette, from Passionate Kitsch.

Wooden black cat, from Haven Vintage.

Psycho For Halloween.

I have a Halloween confession to make. Despite my passion for scary movies, I've never actually seen "Psycho". Maybe someone should send me this card, from Creeper Jess, as a reminder.

Norman Bates postcard. Yeah, that's creepy.

Like A Bat Outta Hell.

Bats scare me. Perhaps it's their link to vampires--or maybe it's simply their creepy faces! Whatever it is, I don't want their weird wings anywhere near me.

I wouldn't mind this ultra-cute bat print, from LaBerge though. His face isn't creepy, nor his wings weird. In fact, he looks kinda happy. And that's what Halloween is all about.

Halloween Meets The Wizard Of Oz.

We're loving this Etsy front page treasury from Jody, aka, Blackbird Tees. Such a clever mix of Halloween-themed items within the "The Wizard Of Oz" vein. Way to go Jody!

Season 2 of "The Walking Dead" is upon us. And that means it's time to gear up for a barrage of gruesome zombie deaths!

Admittedly, it took us a while to get excited about Halloween. But now, we're officially ready to be scared! So bring on the werewolves, vampires, ghosts and of course, zombies!

We end this accessory-filled week with a few manly finds. Hey, even we feel the need to accessorize every now and then.

The Perfect [Geometric] Accessory.

noreply@blogger.com (Half Pint Salvage) — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 19:39:00 +0000

It's small, cute and versatile. And to top it off, it's big enough to transport all of your daily essentials. In short, it's the perfect, geometric accessory!
