Remember when Pete Doherty gave Kate Moss a dead rat brooch and the world was all shock and awe, wondering what the sam-hell was goin’ through his big ol’ numb skull?
Behold, the redneck version of The Crazy Love:
This is a pair of genuine taxidermy squirrel feet earrings. They hang from ornate Victorian inspired posts and measure 1 1/2″ long without post. They have been professionally preserved.
Oh good, because I was really worried about those nails being perfect. Poor Jes, she won’t like this post.
Gee honey, you’ll never guess what I gotcha for Christmas!
*shudder*

Holy squirrel feet, Batman. That is one of the most disturbing things I have seen on this blog today.

Thank goodness for this blog. I wasn’t sure what to get my aunt for Christmas. Now I know.

I’m with Sarah. The first thing I thought-who want little squirrel toes scratching at their neck all day? For that I’d need an actual squirrel.

HA When I was in middle school I went to my aunts house and her boyfriend had a bunch of squirrel feet he was making into necklace pendants. Of course being the super classy middle schooler I was I wanted the one he shaped to look like it was giving the bird… God I was cool.
Looking back though it was pretty damn unsanitary to have a rotting squirrels foot dangling from my neck.

Being that it was a professional taxidermist I can only guess that it was done from an animal whos meat was eaten… I hope.
Not my style, it would bug me to feel toenails on my neck …. but it would be a great gag gift.. yea it’s a shocker, but hey….. the site is catastrophe, because handmade isn’t always pretty…. what did u expect? something cutsey?? lol

That’s right up there with the locally sold Deer and Moose Dropping earings and pendant set. Real Moose/Deer turds dipped in clear shellac. It’s amazing what you can sell to Maine tourists.
