Black and White: sweet or mysterious?

I don't know if it is because it is Friday the 13th today but I felt inspired by black and white. I am usually naturally drawn by colour as perhaps the combination of black and white evokes seriousness, mystery, cold thrillers from the 50's or even creepiness for me. However I found some really pretty fabrics in those two shades and as I was finishing making them into purses I thought I'd search Etsy for some nice black and white finds. And for my great delight I found some really cute items and some other rather mysterious... I am definitely reconciled with Black'n'White!
What about you, what does this colour combination evokes you?
