The Itsy-Bitsy Link Dump
Totus Mel Tats – Etsy shop full of lovely tatting work, including the rather wonderfully-named “ankle corsets.” (Hat tip to pdq)
Disney Considers Haunted Mansion-Themed Hotel Rooms – I would check in and refuse to leave.
Flowers Made from Mouse Bones – These are weirdly lovely. (via Cat)
Black Death – Free shawl/wrap knitting pattern.
The Shambling Guide to New York City – Amusing novel about a travel writer who gets a job writing tourist guides for monsters. The author discusses the work in a Big Idea here.
Plasticland – Lovely goth/retro clothing, accessories, and decor. (Hat tip to Cookie)
Ghost Pig – Odd little sculptural thing depicting a porcine phantom arising from a sliced ham.
Historical Sewing – Fantastic resource site for period costuming. (Hat tip to LimeyFish)
Greatest Wedding Photo in the History of the World – I’m sad that I didn’t think of this kind of Photoshoppery when I got married. (Click “Hide” to get rid of the annotations.)
Girlprops – Inexpensive jewelry and accessories. Some goth-friendly stuff like bats and medieval weapons. This would be a good source for costume or craft supplies. (Hat tip to Terri)

Great linkdump! HM themed room? Most people take soap, towels, shampoo…I’ll loot that joint! There will be nothing but carpet left..maybe. The mouse bone flowers are classy, the ghost pig is brilliant and the wedding photo is epic! Thanks for all who contributed to this fun collection of links.

I misunderstood your use of the term “tatting”.
Clicked on “the New Victorians” at Plasticland and, while I did also find this, whom I love, I was additionally accosted by terrifying doll heads. Touché, New Victoria, touché.
Mmm, interesting sewing ideas. Hmm, wonder if that’s possible to do on a machine, HOLY HECK, how to dress my DH like that?! Yes, please.
Also, I kind of love the scimitar earrings.

OMG I want to stay in the Haunted Mansion rooms!!!!!! I am going this October for Halloween (and my wedding anniversary) and it would be awesome if we could have picked that room!

I always forget about Plasticland, and then I find it again and I think, “Want all the things!” And I’m getting that book. Awesome link dump!
