Help me find a forgotten website

My google-fu is not strong today.
I saw this, I think, last halloween, about someone who made their own jars of things like "eye of newt" and "toe of frog", but the things looked really creepy inside. The person took the time to "age" the printed labels and print them using some super caligraphy font, and everything looked really awesome. It might have been a "howto" crafty type site, or it might have just been a "hey look at what I did" type of livejournal post or something.
It was definitely not a pay site where you could buy things. It was someone's personal showcase of their awesomeness.
Does this ring any bells? Because I've tried to re-find it, and I'm coming up short.

First try: (and I somehow doubt that this is the one you are looking for, probably somebody with a similar ((or stolen)) idea)

Good try! A+ for effort! But it was way cooler than that, as you will see when someone with strong Fu shows up.

Yeah, I figure I'm only finding stuff 'similar' ...but just in case that place doesn't exist anymore ...these are still decent links to DIY.

I did a Google search for "halloween jars" then switched it to an image search, in case anyone's interested in how I found that.

That IS pretty cool. We were talking about a big Halloween party here this year. That stuff would really be a nice touch.

We have similar styles. I too was using an image search. I over complicated it though. I was all "jars" + "eye of newt" -this -that
