weird | Dragonflight Dreams

With Halloween at the end of the month, October seemed like the perfect time to dip into the darker side of Etsy. For this month’s round-up, I looked for beautiful pieces with just a little edge of creepiness, weirdness or darkness. And I’m kind of loving how this round-up turned out.
