Beetlejuice clutch

This one is also an older item but I hadn't posted it here earlier because it is not official movie merch.

Beetlejuice clutch by DoGo. I saw this at a second hand shop many years ago and I just had to buy it even though I knew I would never use this. This cost something between 6-15€, cannot remember how much exactly.

Black & White Handbag

This is an old one, probably bought this in 2009 or 2010. I found this handbag from a flea market in Kuopio for 2 euros. It was so inexpensive I had to buy it and I have actually used this couple of times because it is big enought for a phone, umbrella and a wallet.
     I do not really collect bags, clothes or jewellery from Burton's movies because there are million items and most of them are not official. Sometimes though I might buy something if it is very affordable.

The Nightmare Before Christmas (part. 1)

Okay so now to the movie that has most merchandice made from: The Nightmare Before Christmas. I have to do this in about 5 sections because I have so much stuff from this movie :D

First I'm going to show you the stuff I don't actually collect such as bags, clothes, accessories, etc. I won't buy these myself so most of these I have gotten from somebody else. Anyway these are part of my collect now. The thing why I don't collect these is that you can find bags and clothes with Jack's face everywhere so there is nothing to collect really, these aren't rare at all.

Jack Skellington -digital watch, I got this as x-mas present some years ago.

Nightmare Before Christmas -badge, bought at Kuopio RockCock Festival around 2006-2007

Jack Skellington -shoelaces, gotten as a gift also.

A small TNBC -bag, got this as a gift.

TNBC -bag, my parents brought this to me from Kefalonia.

Huge Jack Skellington -bag, which I bought from Dublin in 2009.

"It was late one fall in Halloweenland..."

So I think it's time to tell you about how it all started...

Even as a child I loved collecting different kinds of stuff. I remember searching all the items related to horses on the windowsill, counting them and just looking at my "collection" :D Next I collected all the cat related items and so on...

Soon the girl who liked horses and cats started to become interested in more darker things and the movies of Tim Burton came along. I have no idea how I heard about Tim Burton for the first time so it shall remain a mystery. Anyway I would say the first item I got was The Nightmare Before Christmas handbag that my parents brought me from their trip to Scotland. And the shocking facts was that I didn't even like the handbag first! From the same trip my parents brought also a Green Day t-shirt for me and it was much more to my liking then... luckily I changed  my mind later :D Soon I realized how cool the bag was and after that it became my schoolbag and it was always with me wherever I went. I still have the bag though it has taken a little damage.

So here's the bag. Actually it's quite okay, the other handle is broken.

I think that's when it all started. Time has passed and I have gotten lots of new items to my collection. I don't know the exact year but I have been collecting these for about 10 years now

Here's couple picture drawn by me. These are old ones but I found them while browsing the pictures on my computer.

Sally, I have drawn this in 2007.

Jack, I remember drawing this at school in 2007.
