Featured Buyer: Natalie Zee Drieu's Picks for Autumn and Halloween

Natalie was one of our judges for the Halloween Costume Contest, so check out her winner picks in the Pet category. She works at Craft Magazine, which is a great San Francisco-based magazine covering the handmade renaissance. She also writes a fashion and style blog, Coquette. We asked her to focus on Halloweeny and Autumnal items for this Featured Buyer piece, because, well, we just can't get enough o' the 'ween.


Autumn Fairy Costume

I love this beautiful child's fairy costume that takes on the colors of fall complete with feathers, flowers, and leaves.

Leia Wig, Fleece Edition

The fleece edition to Ansley's popular Leia wig is also the perfect hat! I want to see someone skiing down a mountain wearing this!

Orange Spice Pumpkin Bread

Mmmm....nothing feels more like fall than a special treat like Orange Spice Pumpkin Bread. Pair this up with a cup of hot chocolate and just feel cozy all over!

Vegan Candy Corn

You can't stop me from eating candy corn during Halloween so these large vegan candy corn seem to be calling my name.

Mr Sunshine Vintage Necklace


I love vintage jewelry and this necklace is the perfect accessory with it's mix of colorful beads in all the right colors, complete with a gold bird.

Cozy Zombie

This zombie cozy is the cutest and is perfect for storing my notebook and pens for when I'm on the go.

Bat Hat

This bat hat is the perfect cozy hat to wear when it's chilly out. I love the bat wing ear flaps!

Pirate Cameo

Who knew pirate couture could look so classy with a cameo necklace?

Tricky Kitty

This fun print by Tashca is how I want to dress for Halloween.

Belles2

Michelle Caplan's amazing mixed media has always been a favorite of mine. I love this piece for its splash of orange print and texture.

Zombie Bear

Creepy cute was always a favorite of mine and this Zombie Bear is the perfect little friend that can adorn a special corner in your house.

Vintage Hoot Charm Necklace


I'm loving this stylized vintage owl: any crafter's favorite.

Plastic Jollyroger Skull and Crossbones Charms


These plastic skull and crossbones charms are perfect for making up your own charm bracelets. The color variety is great!
