SANCTUS // A Gothic Inspired Selection

I must not fear.

Why celebrate the center of summer? Instead I suggest a pre-Halloween ritual of decadent delirium. After all, summer is merely the sweltering crucible inferno all of us must weather to earn the sacred season that is autumn. What will you be sewing for spooky season?

Hold the holy power of perfect pumpkins in thy heart dearest, and sequin away, for certain styles need early planting before the harvest.

Also, yes, premiere/youtube absolutely crunched the ever living heck outaa this boy. 😖 Hopefully you can still enjoy the vibes even if this video isn't the crispiest.

But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!

First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!
