My spouse has been sick so we are staying in tonight. Lots of spooky TV and movie watching. Our new house sits far back from the road so we might have candy all to ourselves. A cup of hot cider and watching The Legend of Sleepy Hollow makes me happy. My great nephew is going to come trick or treat at our house he is only 4 and really scared of Halloween this year.
Back when games had a danger element. Flaming brandy and sharp hat pins what could possibly go wrong?
This costume is probably rare considering the pumpkins orbiting her hips.
I have some lovely pumpkins and gourds this year. Torn between carving or leaving intact so they last longer.
The devil costume and the Rudolph Valentino look with friends make this photo a gem. Sadly I don't have information on this one it came as a set of 2 images. It might be Halloween or a masquerade party.
In case the new readers didn't see this one.
One of the large skull fans that matches the paper lanterns.
The little girl on the left looks like she has already been eating a few treats.
not sure I want to know where the eyes came from!
My camera went toes up so I tried the sunset setting on my camera phone for this shot. Not bad. Looking through the Halloween tree to the mantel. The camera is now feeling better with a new memory card.
The cheap plastic candy buckets filled with rocks for weight and then inexpensive garden center mums. On Halloween night I pull the flowers and put in battery operated candles. Big storm with high winds coming in tonight. We took the giant Kitteh inside tonight and I miss him protecting the lawn.
The homemade cat costume with oversize head is scary. Love the frowning pirate on the end. Arrrrrrr
They didn't end up on the ceiling after all. Piled on the floor in front of the gas fireplace. Orange LED light string runs through the stack.
Grabbed a quick photo before the rain moves in. Kitteh has been a big hit in the neighborhood with kids.
As much as I love black and white this color photo is pretty. The vivid colors and the kids against the background of the car.
The murals on the pre-school are wonderful.
Its the duck in the back row that scares me.
Love the Jiminy Cricket kid. My eye though is always drawn to the clown.
Beautiful day at the Pumpkin patch.Family farm that does a lovely job of making families feel welcome. Gal who cashed me out helped shove 2 bundles of corn stalks in the Honda CRV. They were on the dashboard! Bought all gourds for my porch and decorated my SIL's front porch too. We still need to visit the other big family farm and the cider stand next week!
More images here.
Not sure I'd open the door for these scary characters!
Smart kitty knew he wouldn't show up against the black witch costume. The ghost on the other hand was just right!
One side Christmas trees on the other Martha's pumpkin patch. Totally missed the trees and wondered why they offered flocking! Family run gig with some of the scariest looking old carnival rides. Hope to hit a real pumpkin patch this weekend.
Great cotton dress with jack-O-Lanterns, a creepy doll, and gal with braids holding a carved Jack-O-Lantern.
So, how long do you suppose they stayed tidy after this shot?
Loaned this image for an episode of Antique Roadshow FYI back in 2005. Nice crisp clear details can be seen on the Beistle Decorations.

OK gang I will NOT be vending at the Halloween Bazaar on Sunday. Filled a van with my store stock and gave it a new home. Many one of a kind goodies. The new owners area fabulous people so please help support them and the bazaar.
Now what i didn't realize until tonight is the amusement park is closed on Sunday. So..you know that what that means don't you? Spooky abandoned amusement park! Wandering through a closed park with other Halloween fans...priceless!
If we could only buy the decorations now at that price! Catalog on ebay.
Love the composition of this photo.
The devil in the back row is my favorite. All of their names are on the back of the photo. Must have been quite a party!
New grave this year. This one is heavy. Storing it for the year I was crawling around on a raised shelf section of the basment trying to...
