A Very Merry Steampunk

So I have been stumbling across quite a few items lately that would make great little gifts for steampunks young and old alike and I thought I would post some of them up. Yes, some are from larger companies but I am going to pull together an etsy wishlist as well for both men and women steampunks. Keep an eye out for the Wishlist Items to be posted soon!

Vegas Half-Marathon & GBS

On the road to Vegas... Pictures to come...

Shop will be closed for a few days.

Roads to drive and winds to fly!

Going to miss the kitties and my husband but I get to do a half marathon with my sister down the strip at night. Looking forward to it, though a bit intimidated. http://stripatnight.com/

To 13.1 miles!

(And to a Red Bull waiting for me at the end of a race!)

This will be my second half-marathon since GBS hit me in May 2009! Forward on the road to recovery! Rawr!

How do I work in this environment??

Photos from September's Steampunk Saturday @ The Mysterium

Make: Steampunk Aesthetic and Design with Jake Von Slatt

Steampunk Flair in Pop Culture

Think Steampunk bands are the only ones incorporating the aesthetic into their work?
Guess again! More and more musical artists and television shows are incorporating a steampunk style into their work.

Keep an eye out for more to come and in the meantime,
check out what groups are already flashing their steamy apparel and style!



















The Amazing Screw On Head


The Amazing Screw On Head - opening by Reghy

Amarillo Steampunks!

Prepping for the Amarillo Steampumkin Ball on October 29th?

Be sure to take a chance to stop by Maryland House Antiques. They are starting to carry some great pieces including lace parasols, hats, clothes and more that are a great way to outfit yourself in steamy attire.

Go take a look at their recent pieces here:

UPDATE! PANDORA FOUND A HOME!

UPDATE: PANDORA FOUND A HOME NOW!! :D
*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~
Via Sam Tyler, owner of The Mysterium - I'll be spamming the world with pics of this dog until she has a new home! Abandoned by our neighbors, we've taken her in until she has a place. We call her "Pandora", after the curious girl who allowed all trouble into the world. Don't forget that our troubles shape us and allow us to become better people & how we treat animals is one of the things that defines who we are as human beings. Plus, she's going to be an incredible frisbee dog.

Pandora currently resides in Austin, TX but is more than happy to see more of the surrounding area!
