G is for Gothic

I had pondered which word to choose for the G for Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday. Thus it was a lucky coincidence that I received a little package in the mail today with a true gothic treat. Voilà -- G is for Gothic!

In the beginning of October, I had stumbled upon a giveaway organized by Willow from Confessions of a Country Witch. Her friend Jenny had offered a $ 10 gift certificate for her Etsy shop AgonysDecay for the lucky winner. I looked through all the gothic goodies and quickly found a favorite -- a hairclip with a glass tile showing Jack Skellington on a bed of maribou feathers with a yellow glass bead and a graveyard charm. Now guess how happy I have been when Willow announced me as winner of the giveaway! So here's my great new hairclip:

The bead seems to glow from within.

Jack looks somehow melancholic here.

The maribou feathers are incredibly soft.

Jenny sent the hairclip in that neat plastic bag. You surely don't find anything like that around here, so even the bag was a treat for me!

Aww -- isn't that sweet? Jenny, I will certainly enjoy wearing this hairclip -- and not just on Halloween!

Jenny also sells soaps in her Etsy store and was kind enough to send along a sample of her frankincense and myrrh glycerin soap in form of a tiny skull. It smells just wonderful!

I like how Jenny puts stickers on her plastic bags -- everything is so organized and neat.

Thanks so much, Jenny -- I just love the soap and hairclip!
