On today’s episode of The Mothball Prophecies, we talk to professional leather worker and literal queen bee of Nostalgia (with a capital N), Melissa Daw. Melissa is one half of the podcast “The Fret Files,” a collector of paint by number paintings, Syroco, mid-century kitsch, buttons, and sewing equipment. We cover an antique from her collection that is truly one of a kind: A doll made with human hair. We get to hear the story of Melissa's great grandmother and the selfless act that lead to the creation of the doll. They definitely don’t make things like they used to. Jill is NOT a fan of this one but Sam is fascinated at the thought of finally having a use for part of her macabre collection. In the Curio Check we dive into a brief history of Syroco and the lore of the Jackalope out west.
