Warm Mulled Cider and Final Halloween Home Decor Hunting: Joann, Pottery Barn, TJMaxx

[@flair541]

You two are so cute together. If she wasn't your fiance we'd probably all be telling you to propose, lol.

[@themessiah..]

He must propose again

[@emilymulcahy]

I think she proposed to him...

[@emilymulcahy]

@Dee Blake not me, I like the dude, but he's not even close to my type, he's nifty though

[@Vilexxica]

"and now it's on to the nutmeg!" - Jon Townsend has entered the chat -

[@3katfox]

Lol you beat me to it! (I would PAY to see Voltaire and Townsend do a crossover!)

[@Vilexxica]

@@3katfox I have no idea what the content intersection of the two of them would be but good lord I'd be down for that. 18th century blood sausage recipe, maybe?

[@scarletletter4900]

Townsend's already carries things like functioning cauldrons and memento mori signet rings. So it wouldn't be too out of the realm of possibility.

[@3katfox]

@@Vilexxica Pirates? Music from the time? (A lot of songs from back then are seriously dark and spooky)

[@ladywoodelf]

Lol. Let's get Voltaire out on the Lake Michigan tall ships!

[@hollyodii5969]

“Don’t puke, I just dusted!”- That’s the best! Miyumi is pretty great too!!

[@raemoore658]

Best content on KZbin

[@allyb3510]

Too too true

[@iwantddie]

TRUE, COMRADE

[@columbusmark608]

Yes -- anything "art deco" was huge in the '20s and '30s. During the same time, anything "Egyptian" was huge, too. King Tut's tomb was discovered in 1922, and afterward the "Egyptian" craze took off for about the next 10-15 years. That explains all the snakes, beetles/scarabs, and mummy themes you were finding. And let's not forget: H.P. Lovecraft was into it, too! .

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Can we have a sitcom with the two of you together kind of like a modern Addams family because she is just adorable and you are so cute with her you guys are a lovely couple thanks for sharing all the beautiful Gothic finds have a great day and live the adventure

[@cyndibaker325]

When you had introduced Miyumi previously, I was charmed when you called your fiancé “My Yumi” thinking her name was Yumi. 🦇 I did catch on but sometimes my brain still hears the endearment. I just want to say Aurelio that once I discovered you (during the pandemic 😮) I have been enthralled by you and your Gothic Homemaking series + you make shopping really fun 🕷🕸🖤 You’re my fave 👻

[@pitchafterdark]

That is what I thought at first too ha.

[@Bogwater-Studios]

Wow, how many of us thought that? Me too lol

[@zelda43870]

One of my biggest regrets this year was not buying a yard or two of this one fabric I saw at Joann's, all the way back in August. It was called "Favorite Haunts", and it was a print styled like vintage travel stickers, with movie monsters on them. There was an Egypt sticker for the Mummy, and a London sticker with the Wolf-Man. There was even a sticker for Japan, with Godzilla on it - he's my favorite! The only reason I didn't buy any right then and there is because I wasn't sure what to do with it. I've been back to Joann's a couple times since, and haven't seen the fabric. And when I looked online, it's sold out absolutely *everywhere*. I'm so mad at myself for not getting some when I had the chance.

[@vanessamendez2142]

Those are the items you have to jump on before you miss them. Hope you find in out in the wild somewhere. 😁

[@zelda43870]

​@@monsterous6152 ​ Thanks for the advice! I looked there, but most people were selling it in pieces less than a yard. However, you did inspire me to investigate further on the Internet, and I found a Joann's out of town that had some.

[@zelda43870]

@@vanessamendez2142 I did! I decided to do some more Internet searching and found an out-of-town Joann's that had some.

[@vanessamendez2142]

@thegreatvalkyrie yay!!! Happy 💃

[@3katfox]

Those two are so freaking cute I just die every time they do something adorable 💞 I hope Mayumi is enjoying her American Halloween! Sorry it had to be during such a crappy time 😢

[@tootruetrivia5715]

I’d love to watch an episode where you talk about your personal jewelry collection. Maybe some stories about where you got them or who gifted them to you. Just an idea, no pressure!

[@MoonlitAngelCosplay]

I drew Orville Deadenbacher for my inktober drawing yesterday! He's just so fancy

[@princesagamero]

They are absolutely watching your show!! This is why I love KZbin and all the social media because we as customers are being heard and interesting people like yourself can share so much and you are a real person, not an actor playing someone else's role.

[@capricorndragon6268]

He is himself but he is also, an actor. I remember when he got his sag card. Hope it's SAG-AFTRA.

[@TheSkellingtonGhost]

I loved the instramental for "dirtest song that ain't" at the joanns segment

[@TheRejectsAz]

Man, i've been a fan of yours since 2006-2007. I've listened to all your stuff so naturally i had to make the cider. I have to tell you it was THE BEST cider i think i've ever had in my 37 years. I took some to my parents because they make holiday cider every year and they loved it. I told them you made it and they said they were going to check out your music (This will be interesting) lol. Much love from Az, keep on keepin' on and here's to you, my friend. From my family to yours, CHEERS!

[@thecraftincountrybumpkin]

Hello Mr. Voltaire, I just want to say how much I enjoy your videos. I’m not Goth at all, I’m far from it. I’m just a country girl at heart and a grandmother on top of it. But I’ve laughed, I’ve cried and felt happiness while watching your video’s . Your range of content from crafting to interviews are all very well done and much appreciated. I’m so sorry to hear that your family doesn’t respect you for who you are. As a mother, of a son that is 25 now and no matter what he does or dresses like, I could never stop loving him as long as he is happy I’m happy. He saved my life when he came into this world. I was in a very dark place at that time and in a very abusive marriage, but his birth change everything in my world. He was my world and still is. So as a mother I feel so bad for you that you went through all that you did and are still going through. If you ever need someone to listen, I’m here for you. ❤️

[@blurryansuke3510]

You and your fiancee are the best #2020 goth couple 🖤 Also can't be Halloween without cider XD. Your videos are awesome🎃

[@tootruetrivia5715]

Let’s make an award plaque

[@katarinav.749]

All I can say is. I'm so happy I found your channel! Good work! 💜🖤 Your videos have seriously kept me company and made me feel happier when I was having a shitty day, whitch is often. Thank you! 🦇

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Welcome aboard!!!

[@mikewizoski7593]

What lipstick is she using It didn't smear or get on voltaire lol

[@Bimtavdesign]

its probably a long lasting lipstick that dries down. to take that off you need to use oil 😉

[@FaerywingArt]

Maybe Lip Sense? That stuff doesn’t come off without special remover.

[@Orchildaël]

Sir, that's her lips.

[@mayumi_toyoda]

Haha it is Heartblack matte lip balm , it is nice but it does fall with the delicious warm mulled cider 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@weirdguy7451]

Devils blood.

[@ladywoodelf]

Yes! Everyone forgets cardamon. Seriously underrated and underused!

[@pLanetstarBerry]

I got spoiled growing up cuz my parents always made sure to have some on hand for their cooking. Nowadays I have a hard time finding any. Too bad, its just amazing in fruit pies and jams!

[@ladywoodelf]

I guess I never knew it was hard to find since I'm from a diverse urban metropolitan area🤷‍♀️

[@pLanetstarBerry]

@@ladywoodelf lol yeah I grew up rural, so we could only find some while making special shopping trips to the city. Dad would just find a big jar of the stuff and we'd be set for the next few years. I got a rude awakening when I moved out and learned it was so hard to find! 😂

[@hollyodii5969]

ladywoodelf agree!!

[@goblinb]

Cardamom is amazing with apple(and pumpkin)! I have a huge jar of it that I've had for years, when my store was getting rid of their bulk herbs and spices. I know you are only supposed to keep ground spices for a few months(which seems rather a short time to me), but this is still fragrant. And I hardly use it, since it's so rare in recipes. I usually use it in Indian food, and like I mentioned, in my apple tart and homemade pumpkin pie spice.

[@thethrifteddragon8157]

You are such a great speaker on film. I'm sure being on stage as a preformer helps lol but I really admire the ease that you seem to have. Great video:)

[@kcm7813]

These two are so cute! It's like having another version of Morticia and Gomez Addams!

[@vanessamorris1985]

I feel you on the cupcake stuff. I bought about 120 dollars worth of sprinkles and cupcake decorating items last year at Joann's. My husband's face was like 🤨🤨🤨

[@selinadudley8270]

I love seeing you two together! ❤🖤 I however do not love how pushed aside Halloween seems to be this year. Thankfully, we have channels like yours that don't give up on my favorite holiday. Thank you!!🖤🖤🖤

[@geekysinginggamer8042]

Your fiance is so adorable! I hope she knows that we love her as much as you do! It's a real treat seeing you two together and interacting!

[@melissamcconnell9667]

It's a sad shopping year due to all the circumstances :( Not only are there slim pickings, but I don't want to go out among people here because they're all being stupid and not being safe. I've honestly found most of my stuff to redo this year at the dollar store! You didn't need to add sugar to the cider, you two are sweet enough. Excuse me, I need to go get my insulin. ;)

[@3katfox]

Jeez I thought it was just me There hardly anything around in Michigan

[@bre5553]

I want there to be a blog for y'alls wedding

[@scarletletter4900]

I got recommended a channel on KZbin called Autumn Cozy and found a plethora of soothing autumn sounds paired with Autumn and Halloween themed visuals. I say this because right now because we all need some spooky themed soothing to help cope with the horrors (not the fun kind) happening in real life.

[@HalloweenDecorating]

Yes sounds good decorating and DIY is helping me forget right now.

[@voloantiquemalls4217]

Omg the scene with the cross in party city. So funny-the shunning 😝🧛‍♀️

[@klemmteastwood]

Mayumi is such a joy to see in these videos, I love watching her react to things in store with you!

[@tempestates13]

Don't forget the flavors for the candy. And thank you for showing the deco bottles. They'd look awesome in the bathroom.

[@Tokyo_Rose.]

I loved the condiments holder that you had your spices in. I would use that to hang my jewellery from the fingers! 😀

[@TheJezebeI]

Gotta agree with Mayumi - the art deco selection was to die for!

[@mayumi_toyoda]

Mmmmmm this cider tastes DELICIOUS mi amor!! I love it 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@asterv843]

The skeleton hands that hold bowls look like they'd also make good holders for bracelets and rings!

[@leveluplabs2966]

Dollar tree has some cute Halloween Christmas ornaments! They come in sets of five, with three glittery black or purple ornaments, and two glittery eyeball ornaments!

[@Lateyetnice]

I am so in love with those gloves. I'm happy to see you two lovebirds together. It's very sweet

[@nickolassceltmorea]

Makes me think of the talking pumpkin door knocker at spirit of holloween

[@RedKittieKat]

"Don't puke, I just dusted!" Ahhhahaha 🤣 That was great .. and you two are so dang cute together! It's very sweet ... if Goth's like to hear they are sweet that is 🧡😊

[@missshooks]

I bought one of those spiderweb bowls for my pets' toys. My cat (Frankenstein's Monster) digs around in it to pick out his favorite toys to play with. It's so cute. 🐈‍⬛

[@robinb1721]

"Don't puke, I just dusted!" 🤣🖤 I shared this episode to my Facebook. 😁

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Thank you for sharing!

[@stariadreamtea]

Mayumi looks very bright and glowy this episode. ✨✨✨ You've definetly restored some of my Halloween spirit since I lost some enthusiasm during the clown/serial killer obsession. You brought the spooky, whimsical magic back to the season. Thank you. 🎃✨✨✨

[@williamkidney6031]

The lair of voltaire is the place to be for Halloween. Looking forward to more. Keep up the fun

[@treesaah]

You guys are so sweet together! It almost thawed my cold, dead heart. 🖤

Arrrrgh that screamer pumpkin made my misophonia go off too! You weren't kidding! 😄 *grabs aspirin*

You know, I was by a Joann Fabric last month, and I didn't have time to stop in, watching this video makes me REALLY regret not making time.

[@roxangel6271]

Your fiancé is so beautiful and seems so sweet. I'm so happy for you both! I love the Skelton hands you got from pottery barn and that cider, I could almost smell it! Yum!!

[@the_Toby_dream_life]

Oh my Ra!! Of course I love her with u and the two of u together in general!!! I’m so happy u found each other, u two are perfect together and I couldn’t feel more in love with the pair of u!!!

[@mrs.alienrope5778]

oo i would love to see videos of her making clothes with those fabrics!

[@Sam-FesterAdventure]

Yes! I was hoping they would show some of what she picked out.

[@purplejanew]

I can imagine little trailing plants in that Pottery Barn triple bowl. It always makes me chuckle that American cider is non-alcoholic; I always imagine how tipsy you all might get around Halloween over here without realizing!

[@88hhg]

I was offered some cider in France and I don’t drink alcohol so I kept asking if it had alcohol in it and my friend insisted that it did not, one sip told me otherwise!! She said she didn’t consider it to be alcoholic because it’s such a small amount, lol!!

[@sugarcoat4985]

They are sweet and its lovely to see them together.

[@soup4u2000]

Party City Spider bowl could make a lovely lampshade...........

man I wish this was around when i was lil goth in high school this would have meant so much! love this channel

[@phoenixgabe8363]

You have Misophonia too? I'm so glad to see one of my favorite goth content creators understands. (Also, your fiance is absolutely precious! You guys are adorable.)

[@OldSlyEyes]

Im just a regular black guy im not a goth although i do enjoy the spooky and macabre but something about this channel just chills me out

[@valtiel9]

In my country, there is almost nothing gothic or halloween themed. You can find some cheap paper or plastic stuff around this time of the year, but that's all. So I would be glad to have those "we found even less halloween items" stores. :D

[@amethystrain2513]

You can bake the apples, Orange, and cinnamon sticks after and use it for potpourri. Just bake it on low untill it completely dried out and stick it in a dish with some cloves and anise.

[@dianefields295]

Boths of you guys are funny and silly. Just joking around each other. That’s nice and enjoy at the store. 👍😊😘🤟🏽🙌🏽🖤💜📱

[@trdowden5326]

Love, love, LOVE it! Halloween Art Deco kind of speaks to me too, Mayumi! I collect skulls, and I loved that blocky crystal-look black one, and I most definitely have to hit up the 'bone brigade' the next time I'm near a Jo-Ann's! Another great show and I can't wait for the next one!! Keep up the good work!

[@tamarraphillips8163]

I bought the same molds from Joann's for resin casting. They are actually pretty nice

[@dthndspr5291]

I absolutely love your videos. I live in Finland and Hallowe'en is not really a thing here so finding nice home decor is beyond possible, but I always get ideas for own projects from what you show. Hope you will keep on doing this series for years to come!

[@BeautyWithTiffy]

I love hot cider made on the stove with fruits and sugar cane!

I bought that crematorium sign in the spooky art Deco Halloween line at Joann's. I also bought that creepy ghost girl dancing at Party City for my haunted yard this year. I thought she was awesome. she was so life like in her movements.
