I’m so glad to be back!  And with something as exquisite as this next piece.  Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily really outdid themselves with the Conservatory Coffin.

I’m in love with this piece, which is so appropriate with Valentine’s Day around the corner.  Seriously. I love to hold this coffin in my hand, and run my fingers across the tiny details of the molding, the claw feet, the tassels.  The tiny magnetic candle holders push me over the edge, though. You can remove them and set them next to the coffin, or put them on the coffin and feel that pull of the magnet lock them into place.  Its the most delightful quality to this limited edition collectible.  The coffin offers an eery green glow with the touch of a switch, and with the turn of the key, the hands push the coffin lid up and down ever so slowly.  If you didn’t get your bony fingers on this piece at the Haunted Mansion 40th event in 2009, then have fun bidding for it on eekbay.

Oh, and Internet, don’t be hating the dusty outline of candlesticks on the coffin lid. I’m just keepin’ it real.

 I remember feeling disappointed when I first saw that the  SHAG “Spirited” Haunted Mansion 40th Anniversary Cocktail Reception (which is sold out) was being held on August 8th, the day before the much debated opening date of Haunted Mansion.  I thought there should be something on August 9th to celebrate this special occasion!  Well, I was hasty to assume that Disneyland would celebrate the Mansion’s birthday with nothing more than a birthday sticker… albeit a cute sticker, indeed!  Besides the Shag Cocktail Reception and the highly anticipated Anniversary Merchandise Event, Disneyland is hosting a SHAG Haunted Mansion Product Release & Signing from 10:00-1:00 on August 9th.  Now, I have a hard enough time getting my husband to stand in a line longer than 10 minutes at the park, so this event is out of the question.  And there’s that little matter of our passes expiring last year….  But, I would love to be at Disneyland that day, not only to wish my favorite antebellum mansion and her 999 Happy Haunts a very spirited birthday, but also to get my hands on some really groovy merchandise!

Call me a wanna-be 50′s hip home-maker, whatever… I’m so dorking over all the housewares stuff.  And I don’t want to receive nasty grams about being a homemaker.  I love my job! The pay sucks, but the hugs and kisses from my happy husband and children offers huge dividends!

 

Oh Magic Collectors Fairy, I beseech you to please bring me one of these, so that I may fill it with homemade cookies for all the children of the world….

Cookie Jar Urn

I’ll give up chocolate and start drinking for one of these….Decanter

I vow to put all future wedding portraits in these mats… whether the couple is goth or not!

I know that some of the merchandise will be sold out the day before August 9th, but I grew up believing that a dream that I wish will come true and that mice and birds will clean my house and sew my clothes…
