So, I was passing through High Falls yesterday and went into what I thought was The New York Store to buy some bread. The next thing I know, I’m walking out with a creepy baby sculpture.
The bad news is: The New York Store is no longer there. I have no idea when it closed. Plus, I didn’t get any bread.
The good news: The Last Bite is the cafe that took it’s place and it is suh-weet! They have vegetarian friendly (or meaty) sandwiches and pastries, yada, yada….
But the artwork and tschotskes in there! OMG, I could have bought everything, only there’s some stuff I would totally make myself, so why buy that, huh? I can’t sculpt clay, so I bought this cat baby. I didn’t price the Obama/Bush salt and pepper shakers that I fell in love with, but I may regret that.
My husband and I currently have 6 cats and never wanted have kids. I figured if we DID have a baby, maybe it would look something like this.
The pets love it! The husband, not so much.

A little background on why I might like creepy things….
It’s all my mother’s fault. She was letting me watch horror movies and having me sit in on seances from the time I was born. I remember seeing “Night of the Living Dead” in a movie theater. That came out in 1968, which means I would’ve been 3 years old.
NONE of my dolls EVER kept their heads or limbs.

Seriously creepy.
I loved the NY store and I’m sorry to see it go. I see that the new store has Jane’s ice cream so at least that has stayed the same.

I think that’s rad. Of course, we err on the side of creepy art too.

Yup…puh-rettty creepy my friend. In the first picture he (?) kind of looks like the love child of Ed Koch and Russell Simmons. Which, really, adds a whole new level of creep.

Oh myyyyy. That is a bit disturbing but in an intriguing way. I love the burned pottery look of it.
Wish I could visit that sweet treat shop. But, alas, I’m in Southern Oregon.

I watched “The Exorcist” as a kid and have been traumatized ever since….

The Exorcist?! I laughed at that. Movies that scared me the most: Night of the Living Dead and Carnival of Souls.
