One of my little splurges this Halloween season. From this company.
Over did it on Halloween Spending last year. This year, the few purchases, were hard to narrow down. My fear was this parasol might sell out. Turns out, it did! There was more talk of down sizing and moving to a smaller house. The thought of packing up the current collection of Halloween is a bit daunting.
The date and location were factors in picking this years pumpkin design. Well, like most of this year, things did not go as planned. It was supposed to be for national cat day in the neighborhood public park.
Placement was a little late. It was tonight. Stopping to get a quick photo at the picnic table as the light was fading.
Bench in the middle of the park.
Very busy family park. I hope kitty goes home with a little goblin.
Photos of the house in our old neighborhood that decorates with a witch theme every year.
Nice spray foam prop. The rest of the photo set is here.
This was the very first year that both Disneyland and California Adventure parks were decorated for Halloween and the Halloween party.
The new Oogie Boogie sign over California Adventure is gorgeous!
Trick or Treat Stations were set up all over the parks. This fellow was a decoration in one of the lines. There is a certain glee to trick or treating as an adult. You get a treat bag with your Halloween Party ticket.
The Haunted Mansion Ride was paused to load and unload guests in wheelchairs. This gave me a chance to take some video of the singing Jack-O-Lanterns.
More photos are up here on Flickr. Loading more this week.
We are trying out some projections this year. I wanted to share this cute little projector as it is 50% off at Lowe's. At $9 it was hard to resist. All the Halloween at Lowe's is now 50% off. You might want to grab one this weekend.
There are 6 slides similar to the old fashioned magic lanterns. You have to pop off the cover to change the slides. Its bright and sharp for a little projector. The witch:
The buckets are sitting on inverted metal baskets from Target. My local Target has them every Halloween in the $1 section. This year they had black, orange, silver, and copper. They make great votive candle holders. Upside down I use them as pillar candle holders and as a base to elevate small objects.
Pricey little shadow boxes. The lighting is wonderful. You can see more of the artists work here.
Halloween is coming up fast and I was out of town last week. Product reviews and photos from my Halloween adventures will be up later this week.
Yet another grocery store find. The witches have really nice faces. There is an LED in the orb. Might bring a battery in to see what they look like lit up. Not buying much this year. There are no must haves and I went over budget last year!
On the road all of next week. Barely started getting the decorations up. It will be a rush to get to the pumpkin patch and decorate this year.
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...
