If I had thought about it when I went this past weekend, I would have taken more photos! I was excited to attend the Buffalo Oddities & Curiosities Expo. It's been canceled for the past two years due to covid. Now, although many of the businesses I follow online were not in attendance, I did come home with a few goodies.
Coffin Nail Necklace from Mockingbird Lane Artistries. It's been on my list for a while to get one.
If you know me, you know I'm a sucker for tea. I picked up some loose tea from Morose & Macabre, and it smells divine.
Lastly, I bought these raccoon knuckle bone earring from Feral Grandmother Artistry. While not on my list of things to purchase, I liked how tiny and delicate the bones are. The owner was really sweet too.
I saw many of my customers and friends there, and heard mixed reviews of the event overall. Personally, I'm not into wet specimens or taxidermy (I know ~ the shame), but there was enough there to be interesting. I thought it was a little weird they had booths that just had vintage stuff ~ not necessarily "odd". For example, a booth had old 1980s toys and another was selling vintage Playboys. Not that odd in my book. My guess is that this is the first time they are doing this expo, so they needed spaces to fill. I thought it was worth it to go, even if it was just to be among other weirdos.
Thanks for reading! My blogging has slowed down, but it's because I've been writing movie reviews for Auxiliary Magazine, prepping my kitchen for a full remodel that's been almost 20 years in the making (I'll post before and afters when it's done), and taking care of elderly Vicktor.
