Perfect post for this time of year. Reminds my of Ripley’s Odditoriums.

The Heddy Lamar story always floors me! The “A Mighty Girl” blog has a neat mini bio of her and some other multitalented women throughout the ages.

More than anything I deeply wish to have an Odditorium store and museum. Would there be anything more fun?

Delightful! Your newsletter always makes me smile. I had sent one to my sister a week or so ago, and she wrote back today, “I looked up Amy Stewart, she is a hoot!” We’ll be doing a future buddy read of one of your books!

Excellent! Thank you for creating and sharing such a fun and illustrative narrative on these wonderful oddities and those who collect them. Love your sketches... particularly the brothel matches. Delightful read on this nearly full moon evening.

Creepy stuff always fascinates me. Your museum story reminds me of the voodoo shops in New Orleans. Tons of odd and creepy things! 👻 👽 🧙‍♀️

No need to wait, Amy! You can get your very own fortune telling cup (replica) for $50 here: https://nicolettacarlone.com/products/natalie-1920s-style-fortune-telling-tea-cup-and-saucer. AND . . . it come with instructions. (No, I'm not a shill, just a fellow oddity-lover.)
