The shop, which opened last spring, is decked out with awe-inspiring vintage furniture and curios and features a lovely assortment of unique collectibles, housewares, and clothing. You might just find SFist there this weekend!</p>

<p>Demonstrating BellJar owner Sasha Wingate's slightly dark sensibility, BellJar is awarding this beautiful "Dia De Los Muertos" candle from <a href="http://www.dlcompany.com/Site/dlhome.htm">DL &amp; Co's</a> Modern Alchemy line to one lucky SFist commenter who crafts the best haiku using the words "dead" and "Christmas." The winner will be notified by 11 a.m. tomorrow.</p>

<p><strong>Update: There were so many great haikus, it was hard to pick (except the 5-7-5 rule helped us eliminate a couple). But we thought didionesque's was a stand-out:</strong></p>

<p><em>Hark! What is this dread?<br>
Christmas fuels the living dead.<br>
Green sleeves bleedeth red... </em></p>
