Appalling Apothecary

The Macabre Monday challenge at HDH this week is

Appalling Apothecary.  

I have been compiling my own Apothecary collection on

my mantle for about a year or so now.

I have some antique books, some specimen bugs, candles,

and creepy bits and bobs.

I have taken pictures of my mantle before, so I wanted to

show you something totally new.

I got this awesome little cabinet for my birthday.

My friends are finally catching on as to how easy I am to shop for.

Thrift store finds are my favorites!!! 

I took all nine of my Tim Holtz corked vials and

transformed them into bottles of various tinctures,

poisons, and remedies.

I printed out a bunch of poison labels I had been

saving for just such a project. I glued them on the bottles

and placed them on the shelves in an eye pleasing manner. 

I also added some of my miniature sculptures from my personal 

collection to fill in the blank spots.

If you are in need of some cute, hand sculpted gourds for your

own personal collection, please visit my Etsy shoppe.

Uh oh! Someone left the lid off the Zombie Virus!!!

I had a blast making these little bottles and may be heading to 

Mike's tomorrow to pick up some more with my 40% off coupon!

There is still plenty of time left to get in on the action for this

week's challenge at Haunted Design House.
