Grandma Goth & Flossy McGrew's
There's a most unique thrift store in Denver. It's called Flossy McGrew's.

When Grandma Goth, aka Suelynn Gustafson, took over the family antique business, she expanded the inventory to include more items that tend towards the Dark and Macabre. Sounds like fun, Huh?
And Flossy McGrew's is THE PLACE to go if you are in need of a costume!
Here's a short video of the store.

Frozen Dead Guy Days
Hubby & I had wanted to go this past weekend but the weather wasn't cooperative. Extreme high winds postponed many events and brought temperatures down into the negatives. Our age, or perhaps it was the warm house, caused us to reconsider standing around outside on such a cold blustery winter day. But we vow to attend next year. Weather permitting.....
In 1993, Bredo was returned to dry ice and transported to the town of Nederland, where Trygve and his mother Aud planned to create a cryonics facility of their own. When Trygve was deported from the United States for overstaying his visa, his mother, Aud, continued keeping her father's body cryogenically frozen in a shack behind her unfinished house.
Aud was eventually evicted from her home for living in a house with no electricity or plumbing, in violation of local ordinances. At that time, she told a local reporter about her father's body, and the reporter went to the local city hall in order to let them know about Aud's fears that her eviction would cause her father's body to thaw out.
The story caused a sensation. In response, the city added a broad new provision to Section 7-34 of its Municipal Code, "Keeping of bodies", outlawing the keeping of "the whole or any part of the person, body or carcass of a human being or animal or other biological species which is not alive upon any property". However, because of the publicity that had arisen, they made an exception for Bredo, a grandfather clause. Trygve secured the services of Delta Tech, a local environmental company, to keep the cryonic facility running. Bo Shaffer, CEO of Delta Tech, is known locally as "The Iceman" and caretaker responsible for transporting the dry ice necessary for cryopreservation to the IC Institute, something he has done since 1995. In that year, the local Tuff Shed supplier and a Denver radio station built a new shed to keep the body of Bredo in. In honor of the town's unique resident, Nederland holds an annual celebration, first started in 2002.
Tomorrow - The Hearse Parade!

A Skelly Head ~ In the Mail?
Caroline of Caroline's Crafts recently celebrated her 100th post with a giveaway. And I, of course, had to enter! She was giving away choice of two wonderful creations - a hand felted Pumpkin or a hand felted Skelly Head. I was so excited to find out that I had won!!! WooHoo!!! I chose the Skelly Head (I had to break out of my pumpkin rut). He came in the mail over the weekend. (Now wouldn't the postman be so surprised to know that he delivered a Skelly head to me??)
Isn't he just the CUTEST thang!?
Thank you Caroline! Beautiful work!
