Take a look at this absolutely ✨pristine✨ 1970s sofa from our February Auction oddities. Definitely fresh out of the plastic cover, right?

Patreon Dispatches from the Curiosity Shop 68: February Auction Oddities:
Hello, Patrons! Welcome to February Auction Oddities!! Today, we’ll fall in love with a presumably-departed couple with couches that were definitely covered with plastic until moments before the photos were taken, then we’ll get mad at the absolutely horrifying misuse of an oddities url (and then take a look at the real deal)! https://www.bonesandbobbins.com/2024/02/14/patreon-dispatches-season-5-num-68/

Stay away from those love potions today, deal?

06/02/2024

As long as there have been people, there have been love spells. They’re sometimes beautiful, frequently h***y, and nearly always ethically questionable. They also might make you want to hide your fingernails, put off buying supplies for that candle-making project, and never buy stick pins again. Which is all to say that love spells are messy. Just like emotions, and just like all of us. https://www.bonesandbobbins.com/2024/02/05/season-5-episode-02/

Natali's Aunt Diane, whose brutal murder was recently solved through the persistence of her family, the diligent efforts of law enforcement, and the scientific advancements made in genetic genealogy. You can listen to her story on the Bones & Bobbins Patreon.

We all have our how-we-came-to-true-crime origin stories. But, unlike most of us, Natali actually grew up being a family member connected to a brutal cold case. In this exclusive Patreon episode, for the first time, Natali tells the full story of her aunt’s horrifying murder, how it impacted (and continues to impact) her family, how genetic genealogy eventually played a role, and what happens when a potential serial killer is finally identified. https://www.bonesandbobbins.com/2024/01/29/patreon-dispatches-season-5-num-67/

Do you know who made your grandma’s favorite silverware? We do!

Listen to our newest episode to find out and learn why this ad is so funny!

Hi, Creepy Crafters! We’re back, somewhat rested, and ready to kick off Season 5!

Ever wonder if your silverware was once in a questionable cult? No? Just us?

The Oneida Cult had some truly ahead-of-its-time views on s*x and s*xuality. And, if their community hadn’t also included a dark shadow of appalling abuse towards its teenage members, this could have been a very different podcast episode. (Alas, no.) But, it may surprise you to know that, even today, this strange cult’s legacy continues to live on in a very unexpected place: our cutlery drawers. https://www.bonesandbobbins.com/2024/01/22/season-5-episode-01/
