This book was recently scanned and posted at the LJ community “found objects” – so I made it into a PDF for ease of reading!! It’s Mel Juffe & Edward Gorey, from 1965.

ABOUT
Welcome to a world of tarnished sequins. Fields and fireflies at dusk. Midnight rooftop tea parties. Whirling dervish to fiddles and clarinets. Bonfires. Gold bangles. Smoky dark velvet cushioned rooms. Blankets of frost. Stars through the skeleton limbs of trees. Low fog in the morning over the bend of the river. The smell of crackling pine logs and burnt sugar. Verhext is located somewhere in the clouds & mountains between the Bay Area and Vermont.
Purveyor of handpicked vintage and custom magical garments ~ styling for fashion and band shoots since 1996; under the monikers of The Boneyard, Dramatis Personae, Dainty & Dirty, and now Verhext.
