Otherworldly Enthusiasm at WOE Milwaukee 2025

This past Saturday, Bleak Boutique had the pleasure of vending at the World Oddities Expo at the Baird Center in Milwaukee, and we’re still buzzing from the experience. The energy was electric from the moment the doors opened, and we were absolutely blown away by the crowd’s enthusiasm. We saw so many familiar faces, reconnected with longtime supporters, and welcomed a wave of new friends into our eerie little world.

Events like WOE remind us why we do what we do. The conversations, the shared love of the strange and beautiful, and the genuine excitement around our products made the day unforgettable. From gothic home goods to folklore-inspired jewelry, our table stayed busy with curious minds and kind souls who truly understood the heart of Bleak Boutique.

Now, we’re resetting for a quick turn and burn before heading south to Illinois for the Wolf Hollow Witches’ Market in Rockford/Belvidere. This event is known as the premier gathering for witchy wares in the Midwest, and we’re honored to be part of it. If you missed us in Milwaukee, this weekend is your chance to catch us again before the season winds down.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by in Milwaukee! We’re grateful for your support and can’t wait to see what magic awaits in Rockford.
