It is time to step into the future! We bring you a fresh new look for a new year! We have also been busy creating some new items for the shop. Coming up with some new ideas for the site & shop. So stay tuned for the updates! Thanks for hanging with us & stopping by! Howdy Hey Everyone! Not sure if you all even have missed me during the last few weeks of radio silence...but I have been away creating new items (which are coming soon!) & tending to family matters. Speaking of family, I am thankful that I am surrounded by family who bring me smiles, tears, sweet dreams, and lack of sleep. There are many out there who are not as fortunate as I to experience that...so I am grateful to have it surround me. It shouldn't take a holiday season for people to count their blessing, you should do it all year long. But in the spirit of the Thanksgiving Week, I just wanted you all to know that I am thankful for all that you do! Whether you've made a purchase, read & shared a post, told a friend, or just wished me well, thank you for your support! Happy Thanksgiving to you all! May it be filled with family, friends, pets, & people that bring you joy, sorrow, laughter & tears that you wouldn't trade the world for. Now go draw a Hand-Print Turkey, you know you wanna! Hope you have a Happy Halloween! I really do. It is already a pretty terrifying planet out there filled with stuff that will haunt your dreams. Skeevy Politicians battling each other for a seat at the table. Vanishing children that punches holes in your heart. A Pumpkin-Spiced President who jabbers in circles. Dismembered journalists for publishing the harsh truth. People shooting up public places, with the full intent of killing everyone. Home Invaders, Global Warming, Devastating Storms, I could go on & on... So, it is no wonder that we all like to escape into the fantasy Halloween world for a night filled with candies, parties, and costumes! One night where we can prove to ourselves that we are not numb to it all by getting a good fun fright! One night to be something or someone else. One night to embrace the fears. One night to celebrate the absurdity of the horrors. If you decide not to go out trick or treating, dancing & partying, haunted house touring, may we recommend: That you all just turn off the lights, throw on that creepy movie (or the Hallmark Channel's Christmas Movies), cuddle in under that blanket, munch on some of those treats, and scare your pants off! Escape for a bit, then shop our Mystery Halloween Sale! The more you spend, the more you will save! How much exactly will you save & when will it end? That is the mystery! Enjoy & Be Safe out there, it's a Mad World... Into the Badlands is a show on AMC & Netflix, that features wonderful action, a great cast of characters, and twisty plotlines. It may not be the number one show out there, but it sure is entertaining. Waiting on the second half of the third season to release, and whether or not they wrap up the story or move on into a fourth! Well while we wait, we've created a couple of items inspired by the show! First we have two 8"x 10" canvas art boards, painted with the emblems of two of the factions. The Quinn's Armadillo Logo painted in Reds, Oranges, & Gold. The Widow's Butterfly Logo painted in Gunmetal, Golds, & Bronzes. Two art pieces ready to hang in your private theater room, dorm, or living room. Then we also have a rustic and worn Armadillo Satchel, whether you are working the poppy fields or clipping people for the baron, you may need to stow your gear. Just in case you defect to the Widow's Clan, we've added her symbol under the flap of the bag. Both of the symbols have been painted in a metallic gold on the distressed green & brown soft cotton tote! The military surplus satchel does show some wear and rust on it, but it just adds to the appeal & gives off that post-apocalyptic vibe! So be ready to be the scavenger and add these cool creations to your collection! Show your fandom & support for the show in a not so subtle way. Here is the trailer from the season one kick off, if you aren't that familiar with the show. Stay safe out there in the Badlands...And we'll see you next time!
What's This? Three items just in time to assist you in decorating for Halloween! We have a creepy little item, the Skeleton Birdhouse Ornament! A wooden silver birdhouse, with hand-painted bird skeletons all around it! It will fit perfectly amongst your Halloween Decor! It would make a perfect gift for that Nightmare Before Christmas fan in your life! Next we have the two sets of the Nightmare Before Christmas Influenced Stacking Boxes...One in the style of Jack Skellington, one in the style of Sally! These stacking boxes have been hand-painted with swirls, seams, bugs, bats, & many other spooky little designs. Sold separately, but would look great together...so hurry into the shop & pick them both up while you can! If you love Halloween, Nightmare Before Christmas, or just creepy little things, then this week's items are for you!
It is that time of the year, where you have Major League Baseball wrapping up and the NFL & NHL Seasons starting. Add all the new & returning television shows & series debuting on top...just what do you watch live, what do you record or stream, & which ones do you skip altogether! It can be a dilemma for some. Most of the time for the sports fans, the game goes on live, everything falls to the wayside until the season is over. Which brings us to this week's items, they are for the sports fans...well, for the fans of Pittsburgh Steelers & the Vegas Golden Knights! We have a Little Earth's PRO-FAN-ITY Pittsburgh Steelers Metal Purse! This purse is not only a handy carry-all, it is a work of art! It is a gently used treasure for the Steelers Fan! It is in wonderful condition, just check it out! Next item is a custom creation for the Vegas Golden Knights Fan! It is a small shoulder bag, hand-stenciled with the Golden Knight's Logo. This small black cotton canvas tote is perfect for carrying around your phone, charger, wallet, & seat tickets. Use as a small purse or a small airplane carry-on. Two cool items for two classy fans! Also don't forget to check out the Trading Cards Section in the shop too, you might just find something else for your collection! If you are requiring something specific or custom created, just ask...we just might be able to help you out with that!
Thanks for stopping by my friends & we will see you next time! Go Team! YAY SPORTS! Move the chains! It is coming up on 25 years of the release of this classic Holiday Movie! Can you believe it? When it was released, I was excited to see what Tim Burton & Danny Elfman had created. Being a big fan of the both of them, Tim Burton from his past odd works like Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, & of course Batman & Danny Elfman from Oingo Boingo & his film score works...I was not disappointed, I was an instant fan. The film did alright at the theaters, but was not a box office smash hit right off the back. Over the years of being a sleeper hit and cult classic, it grew on people, and boy did it grow! It even became part of the Holiday Celebration at the Disneyland Park, transforming the Haunted Mansion Ride into a Halloweentown at Christmas Time! Keep an eye out for the 25th Anniversary re-release of the film for your home theater! If you are one of the few that have not experienced yet, now is your chance...there is even a limited release on the big screen in certain cities, so check your local listing as well! Don't forget to head over to the shop to purchase some of the Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise & custom made creations. So celebrate the 25th Anniversary of this amazing & musical movie originally released on October 29th, 1993, while the wife & I celebrate our 16th Anniversary of marriage in October 2002. So Happy Anniversary to everyone!
Yup, this week we have two exceptional cases for your storage needs...First we have the S.H.I.E.L.D. Ammo Utility Box. A tactical polypropylene ammo box that has been painted with the S.H.I.E.L.D. eagles on both sides, 'TOP SECRET' on one side & 'CODE 0.8.4." on the other. This is a water-resistant case that is large enough to store your ammo, cosplay gear, art supplies, or a small collection of comics! Check out the photos & the shop for more details! Next up, we bring you the one, the only, the Blues Brothers Band Storage Case! No wait it is an amplifier, no it is a storage case! It is a bit of both...we have taken a Squier 15 amplifier and transformed it into an ultra cool storage case! We painted on the Blues Brothers Image on one side & Ray's Music Exchange logo on the other side. Just because it looks a little worn, doesn't mean it doesn't have a little more action in it. This is one functional art piece, that you really have to see the photos to believe...Perfect gift for any fan of the classic film or that eccentric musician in your life! Two customized cases to assist you in organizing your eclectic collections...so shake your tail feathers over to the shop & see what you can find today! Thanks for stopping on by my friends, we shall see you next time... The Blues Brothers is one of my all time favorite movies...
R.I.P. Aretha Franklin Believe it or not, we are on the verge of Halloween. You are no doubt already seeing the costumes, candies, and decorations in the aisles of your local big box store. Well we here at Sometimes Cool Collectibles want to bring you a little something creepy that you will not find on their shelves. Something of unique design and a bit disturbing to feed into your FALL FRIGHTS delights. Wellp, check out these weird & wonderful creations that we have this week... The Krueger Crossing Sign, inspired by the Nightmare On Elm Street Series! These 5" x 7" & 8" x 10" canvas art boards have been hand painted in various colors. They will be perfect to decorate your office, cubicle, dorm room, or your guestroom...warn your visitors that Freddy Krueger just might cross their minds, enter their dreams & perhaps worse. One, Two, Freddy's Coming For YOU...Three, Four, better hit the store... Then there is the Evil Dead Trinket Box! This wooden 6.5" X 6.5" X 4" box has been redesigned with the inspiration of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, roughly translated : the Book of the Dead from the Evil Dead Series. Just be careful what you put into this box, it may just disappear into another dimension or become possessed by Kandarian Demons! Klaatu, Barada, Niktoo, this evil little art piece is for you! Next up is the Jason Voorhees Funko Pop! Necklace! We have taken a Mini Funko Pop! Figure and turned it into an eerie, yet elegant necklace! So chain up this Friday the 13th Killer around your neck to add some gloom to your glam. KI-KI-KI, MA-MA-MA FO-FO-FO, YA-YA-YA! Speaking of adding a little wickedness to your wardrobe...there are only two of these Skull / Heart shirts in the shop! Before Sometimes Cool, there was Too Much Freetime Limited Run Shirts, & only two of these X-Large Men's Maroon Long Sleeve T-Shirts have been dug up from the past! Featuring a Skull & Heart design on the front, Too Much Freetime Logo on the back, and a Winged Bone Spiral on the left sleeve. It adds that mischievous & malevolent vibe to your Fall Fright Fashionable Look. Bippity Boppity Boo...You Should Buy the TWO...
So there we have it folks, the delights of the Fall Frights! Thanks for stopping by, see you next time, stay safe out there! When I say SOMETIMES, you say COOL! SOMETIMES!...SOMETIMES!...sometimes?...Why doesn't this ever work? Oh well...onward to this week's cool creations. We are bringing you a couple of Gravity Falls inspired bags. The first one is a backpack influenced by Dipper Pines. It is a dark blue small backpack, with the Pine Tree Logo hand painted on it! It is the perfect bag for your next adventure or use it as a getaway pouch, when you have to run from a pack of zombies. We even clipped on a Bill Cipher Pocket Watch to keep you on time. Of course we have to follow that up with a Mabel Pines inspired laptop case. This soft cotton canvas case has a been painted with the iconic Shooting Star & other graphics inspired by Mabel's extensive sweater collection. This is a great bag for your everyday carry needs, one big pouch with a small zipper pocket inside the liner, we also added a chain & clip for to keep your keys or phone handy. Keep this tote handy for your laptop, tablet, or just use as an oversized purse. When I say Mabel, you say Pines...MABEL!...MABEL!...I can do this all day... And finally a new Agent Carter inspired piece, I know right...it is about time. We took a military surplus satchel, stenciled on a Gold S.S.R. Logo, along with a name 'Agent Carter' to transform it into a fandom fantasy piece. We'd like to think that Peggy would have one of these handy as a quick go bag, or an impromptu purse. It is a single pocket, lightweight cotton canvas bag with an adjustable shoulder strap. Use it as a tablet tote, or fold it up into your suitcase to use as a lightweight travel bag. Remember this is a rescued vintage tote, there are some markings, discoloration, and aging due to it's former military life. But that is what makes this piece even more unique, in our eyes! When I say Agent you say Carter...AGENT!...AGENT!...well there you GO! So there you have it cool-lectors, three amazing functional works of art for you to consider. They are already up in the shop, and will soon be on ETSY next! So act fast, there is only one of each! Thanks for stopping on by, we will see you next week with another round of some custom creations! Stay safe out there! |
