About Me
My name is Angelique. I am the sole-owner of this shop. I am thrilled you decided to visit my store and welcome any questions you have. I am a lover of anything having to do with a Gothic or Horror nature. I am a Libra, born exactly two weeks before Halloween. I have three Almost-HUMAN cats. 2 boys named Bajang and Gurdy and a girl named Lucy. My passions are music, decorating, fashion, gardening and working out. My soulmate, Ed and I live in a quaint 1920 Cape that is packed with stuff we collect. Yes, we are both insane collectors! We both love Halloween and dress in full costume each year. We also attend Renn Faires in full costume each fall. I collect Victorian 1800's photos, boots/shoes, 1890's bodices, candle holders, pewter statues, Gothic clothing, home decor and silver gothic jewelry.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Programming and right out of college spent 7 years working in the field...and then...came The Black Cat Closet! I started in 1999, selling a few items and buying of course!
I hand-pick every item you see offered in my store, so if it's not something I LOVE myself, chances are I won't be selling it.
