*Review composed in 2021 I admittedly have a complicated relationship with Valentine's Day but when someone offers me a chance to purchase and own a piece of the unique and macabre centred about my favourite history topics and literary figures, well I say take my money and everyone else can keep their cheap flowers that will wilt in a week! May I introduce you all to Valentombs by OfGraveConcern (a curious little shop I stumbled upon on Instagram which specializes in one-of-a-kind historical art inspired by the years 1348 to 1848). 💀I ordered the night of January 17th and received a shipping notification message almost immediately and then slid over to my frozen over mailbox to find my card that following week. My dark little heart skipped a few beats when I opened the envelope and removed the card themed around my favourite book- Wuthering Heights (Catherine and Heathcliff are home!). The size of the card itself is ideal (about the size of a traditional holiday greeting card) and the foldout "kickstand" on the back of the glossy stock paper is perfectly balanced and centres the tomb nicely for display. I have mine on my the back of my vanity table, facing the mirror. I love the incorporated quotes from my favourite novel and the research and little fine details this shop puts into its projects and artwork are all seriously applaudable. I now want a whole "graveyard" of Valentombs to display, haha. And wish fullfilled! Welcome to my little graveyard of Valentombs, haha. These 2 cards showed up out of the blue one cold day and I can't thank OfGraveConcern enough for them. Pictured is the Hamlet and Ophelia card and Lenore one as decked out in researched quotes from the play and story. Absolutely something unique to see, collect and recommend.
