Should have bought it when I had the chance. Last years offerings at Horchow were really sad compared to previous years. The skull cloche is still one of my favorite decorations. It has its own spotlight in the display cabinet.
4 page article with pages 2 through 4 on flickr. Choose the large format for easy reading. Enjoy.
Cleaning out old files you never know what you might find. Its a cheesy little haunted ride on the Santa Cruz boardwalk. The clock was the best part.
Not much to write about. Getting ready to start sewing on Victorian monster theme costumes for Steamcon 4 in October. Its the weekend before Halloween so I'm sure one outfit will be what I wear to the Children's Halloween party at the museum.
The fact she has remained standing is amazing. This one seems like prime vandalism material. Found the image on the LJ group Mourning Souls.
January has always been a rough month to get through for me with seasonal depression. The museum was closed so I took time to hibernate and gather strength. The torrential rain in February came pouring in to our front room. We found out the roof was installed incorrectly and we need to fix 35 roof vents. The interior repairs and paint are now finished. Today I started the process of selling the domain oldfashionhalloween.com. There was some sadness at saying the final goodbye to the business. On to new adventures. There is a theater conference in Long Beach in March. The pre-conference classes take place at Disneyland! We get 2 full days behind the scenes at the park. This includes the costume shop. So, that my friends is why things have been a little quite for me in blog land.
December was a SUPER busy month and I am ready for some down time. 25 years after our visit we finally returned to Disneyworld. They don't decorate this mansion with the Nightmare Before Christmas like Disneyland. There is a new Q line that is fabulous. A tomb of a captain that blows bubbles and books that glide in an out of a book case were 2 of my favorites. I am still uploading photos from our adventures including The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. May 2012 bring you good health and happiness.
