A Halloween Happening

October 25th, 2012

{Skull + black and orange M&M’s}

My friend Melisa called me out for pinning Halloween-related images on Pinterest back in April, so I’m happy that my obsessive planning is finally paying off (you can see my now-timely board here). The truth is – I look forward to this holiday pretty much year round, so now that it’s only a few days away, I thought I’d offer a glimpse as to how we’ve decorated for our second annual costume party this Saturday. For the record – my costume couldn’t be less appealing, but should make for a funny and comfortable evening with friends.



{Mummy/Bat/Ghost/Pumpkin/Eye Ball/Bone Cookies from Dylan’s Candy Bar}



{Crows – borrowed from last year’s costume – line the railing leading up to our place}


{The work-in-progress drink/dessert table}

{Coroner drink tags + old school sodas}


{Buried bones in the front yard}


{Body part gummies: teeth, fingers, brains}


{Bloody hand print on our front door}


{Hand + candy corn-flavored Dots}


{Candles by the entryway}

You can see last year’s decorations here.

    I never comment but this is just inspiring. I’ve been planning my Halloween party for a month. I’ve bought loads of antique frames and have a spooky art collection in my hallway. My parties are always over the top and this post of yours just made me feel such a connection to you. Exciting month. Can’t wait to see your costume! Love the bird idea! Cyber high five!
