I like that the sculptors of the tombstones added this because cemeteries are one of the most macabre locations and to just see a lil smiley guy is awesome.

It's always interesting to see many different tombstones around the world. It speaks volumes of society's history and culture. The pictures you post reminds me an art exhibition in Yogyarkarta, Indonesia, awhile back. Saw the artist FX Harsono's work, Rewriting The Tomb. It's a series of monoprint where he rubs Chinese characters written on giant buddhist tombstones and transferred it to textile. https://www.insideindonesia.org/editions/edition-144-apr-jun-2021/art-as-pilgrimage//

Cute vintage brass frames

I got one of these to frame a little picture of my wife with my daughter. Framing memories with loved ones is priceless, and there’s something extra special about doing so in cute little pieces of history like these. It’s along the same lines as keeping a locket necklace with a loved ones photo in it; poetic.

Evil and cursed-seeming lawn ornaments

After rehabilitating my backyard a few summers ago, I wanted to reward myself by purchasing some unique and frightening statuary to decorate it with: durable, stone pieces that would thrive outside permanently and look peculiar to neighbors. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this is not an especially robust market. The overlap between people who want a Hellraiser Cube made of stone and people who covet investment-piece outdoor décor is apparently me and me alone. However there are a few great etsy stores where I have bought a Cthulhu, a Pazuzu and a Baphomet made of very heavy stone that are still thriving outside among the ivy.

stoneware dinner set/Portraits of my pets

My favorite gift that I gave was this cute stoneware dinner set to my parents because they were due for a dish upgrade and it’s very them. My sister sent me these hilariously adorable framed portraits she made of my pets personified as children (Bunny is an angsty and shy teen and we always say that Benny has the soul of a 9 year old boy with ADHD named Timmy who loved soccer and died tragically)!!!
