Halloween Christmas Ideas


Martha By Mail Fall 2002
Originally uploaded by dragonflydesignstudio

For some of us Halloween is our Christmas. Over the next 2 months I'm going to post some ideas on how to Halloween-ify that other holiday. The bat treat cone kit was an item offered in the old Martha by Mail catalog. The idea however is simple to replicate. String, construction paper, and glue.

The advertisement from my collection was in the trade magazine Playthings. The Crickets are my favorites.

I'll try to get photo's up before the end of the week of my night at the haunted attraction. It was so much fun watching people go through the haunt Saturday night. My bandolier slipped a bit in this shot. It had rusty safety pins, thimble, pinking shears, thread, measuring tape, and a tiny brass spyglass on it. My hat has buttons sewn on rick rack trim.

Halloween Towels at Macy's


Set of three kitchen towels for the Martha Stewart line at Macy's. The towels are adorable and no longer available online at Macy's. My local store had already moved the Halloween inventory to the clearance table last week. The graphics are beautiful.

Happy Halloween
