Very cool pics! Some would make great screensavers for the Kindle. I feel kinda stupid though, who is Edward Gorey?  I could search, I know, and maybe I',m the only one who doesn't know, but just in case...  Betsy |

Gorey was a comic artist and illustrator. He created (along with many other things) The Addams Family in a series of comic panels.

At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.

Now that you both had said that, it sounds familiar. Can't remember anything anymore!

V. cool, scathach. I like his sense of humor ... at least I hope that is all tongue in cheek. I thought the lye bottle was made into a soap dispenser at first glance. *light bulb* hmmm.

Gorey just had the most weirdest things in his home. I have a picture of a hatchet on the kitchen mantle next to a cute wooden cat thing... just seemed strange to have a hatchet in the kitchen so I had to take a picture of it. It was definitely a great place to visit if your up on the Cape

Edward Gorey was an illustrator who did really unique artwork, he is probably most known for doing the artwork for the show Mystery which as on PBS when I was a kid.
Still is!! Ann |

 great pictures!! I've been an Edward Gorey fan since I was a kid - inherited drawings and first editions of some of his books, which were well fought over by my brother and I. Thanks for posting!
