There’s been a lot on my mind of late; it’s just that none of it is blog-appropriate. You-call-it-Halloween, We-call-it-Samhain, on the other hand, is very blog-appropriate. Here are a few things I’ve found in my travels:

1. The Samhain ish of The Anti-Craft is up and it features some neat stuff, like this hat right here:

Check it out.

2. Over on Etsy, we have a different kind of cool hat:

Cowabunga, dude. I need to reverse engineer that sucker. Or order one, which would be better.

3. Whilst browsing the CEOExpress (which, as you can imagine, is something I do every day — pfftahahaha), I stumbled upon the Edgar Allen Poe Collection of Susan Jaffe Tane at Cornell University. Here you’ll find digital scans of super-old Poe-iana, and some biographical information too. Did you know that the Raven was originally going to be a parrot? That’s kind of like Ben Franklin insisting that a turkey would be our best national bird. Nevermore…

4. I know I’ve mentioned this place before, but here it is again: Dragonfly Design Studio is your best bet for all your vintage Halloween hoo-ha.

5. Lastly, if you’re in the neighborhood on the 28th, swing by the New York Open Center for Kris Waldherr’s THE BOOK OF GODDESSES book l(re-)launch and and art exhibition opening, from 7:30-9:30. The New York Open Center is located at 83 Spring Street (that’s right off Broadway). Memo to self: mention on the Endicott Blog.

Also note that Kris has a ton of yummy stuff for sale, including this new Persephone print. Ooo!
