I ( along with my twin sister and husband) were able to attend The Oddities and Curiosities convention this year in February before the pandemic forced a cancellation of most of this year’s dates. Many of the wonderfully weird artists, dealers, and taxidermists that usually assembled have scrambled to find new ways to sell their offerings.
In the spirit of shopping small this holiday season, I decided to feature the venders that we purchased from this year and in 2019’s show. I’ve already become a repeat shopper for The Pickety Witch, the Krampus ornament above is one of her holiday offerings.

Other venders I bookmarked for later:

Fun! I bet there’d be a good selection of memento mori, the desk-top skulls. I’m so bummed–that was one of my best ideas for my husband for Xmas and he went ahead and bought himself one! Ugh.

I would love to go to a convention like this! It looks like a well of inspiration for tokens and stories.
