Old Burial Hill - Plymouth, MA


Old Burial Hill in Plymouth is a remarkable cemetery.
 Many pilgrims laid to rest there.
Overlooking the harbor, I can think if no better place to be buried, the view was amazing.







Love this skull. Very unique.




William Bradford, Plymouth Colony Governor.
Fresh flowers had been laid at his grave.




The family is growing tired of my old cemetery curiosity!

Duxbury, MA


While visiting my sister in Duxbury, MA this week, I had to visit the Myles Standish Burial Ground, oldest maintained cemetery in the US! It was an amazing little graveyard.


Yes, I make my poor family go to old cemeteries.
This skull is pretty though, looks like a heart for a mouth.
Abigail Alden was the wife of Capt John Alden who was accused of being a witch in Salem and escaped to Duxbury.

Myles Standish is buried in a plot surrounded by the cannons.
His gravestone is very bland and fairly new. 


John Alden, said to be the first person to set foot on Plymouth Rock!


CRAZY hair on this figure.






Some more wild hair!

Both products dry very hard and are extremely durable making this Halloween rabbit a treat that will live for years and years. Measures 9" tall and about 7" wide.

June EHAG Emporium


As we get closer to Halloween, EHAG has decided to open the EHAG Emporium every month. On the last day of the month at 9 PM Eastern, be sure to check the Emporium to see our latest offerings. We have some new members this summer who have created really amazing pieces!


This month I have painted a vintage wood candy dish. I bought it at an antique sale and could see a Jack O' Lantern and Black Cat immediately in the shape of the two compartments. On the bottom, I have left the original stickers unpainted. It is hand made out of monkey pod wood which really gave me a chuckle. It is varnished, signed and dated. Measures 14" x 6.5". Price is $79 plus shipping depending on your zip code.
Email me to purchase.  I accept Paypal, checks and money orders.

EHAG Emporium

May 31st means another opening of the EHAG Emporium at 9PM EST. This month I am offering an original folk art painting of a young witch named Lily Vervain. She is holding her familiar black cat, Smudge, and in the other hand, a stuffed mouse cat toy. The canvas measures 8" x 10" and has paint and a simple ribbon around the staple-free sides. I have added a crackle finish to give an aged appearance.
Price is $75 plus exact shipping.



I also have another small painting available of a young vampire named Carnelia. This canvas measure 5" x 5" and is painted around the sides so no need for a frame.
Both paintings look lovely hung together and you can have them both for $100 plus shipping. If you would prefer to purchase just this painting, it is $35 plus shipping.


The painting below of the Bride of Frankestein is also available for $75 plus shipping. Pleas email me if you are interested in any of these Halloween beauties!
