Well, I have been working on Halloween for a week now and I am almost done. We still have an order coming in but all in all it is done... I still am making some Halloween collage boards and maybe a witch or two and then I need to work on finishing my painted pumpkins.
We are having a Halloween Starry Starry Night on October 15, it will be fun for all with ghoulish goodies, prizes for costumes and a we will be decorating witch hats with vintage trims that night too.
I have to say Halloween is my least favorite holiday, I usually don't do much black but this year I decided on a apothecary/laboratory theme and it was quite fun. I collected old bottles and old apothecary jars and anything else I could find that fit in and here is the results.
You may click the picture to enlarge it.
There are quite a few pictures - I hope it doesn't slow down your computer.
The witch hats we will be making.
See that jar with peanut m&m's... I should know better than put them in my reach, it was half full!
"When witches go riding and black cats are seen
the moon whispers and laughs,
'Tis near Halloween!"

ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca... I'm so sorry, I seem to have neglected you. That was because I forgot to put you on my sidebar and follow you!!! It's my age !! That has all been rectified now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job you have done....it all looks amazing...you must have worked so hard. I hope you all have a great fun time on the 15th. We don't celebrate Halloween as much as you as we have Guy Fawkes night instesd, although, Halloween is begining to get much more popular here now. Have fun and don't scare too many people !! XXXX
OMG, loving it!! I have been away for a while. We had a terrible week at work last week, we all survived!! Have a great week, let me know when your package arrives, Had to re wrap it again, my wonderful post office did not like the packaging the forst go round! Tootles, janna

ReplyDeleteI'm just in awe...you are amazing girl!! Everything has such great presence and personality! That dress form is a "hoot" (is that a belly button I see on it?) FUNNY. I can't believe that you say you don't usually like Haloween that much, cause you sure wouldn't know it!! It's not my favorite holiday by any means, but I find myself stretching a little more each year.

Hi Rebecca! I'm not big on Halloween either, but you did an incredible job with the shop!!! BTW, to answer the question you left me - I knew it was you when I saw the Simply Posh Designs on your sidebar (I had just loved your old shop in Geneva!). Of course, your new shop is amazing too :) Hope you had a great weekend!

Hi Rebecca! I owe you an apology!!! You gave me that lovely award and I meant to send you an email and thank you, but I've been having computer problems at home and can't email from work. So... THANK YOU!!!! I'm sorry it took me so long.
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed looking at these wonderful Halloween pics. They have really helped get me in the spirit! I wish I was close enough to shop over there.

ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteI've always loved Halloween and so enjoy decorating, but I didn't know Halloween could be this gorgeous! My computer kept up just fine with the images and I'm coming back later tonight to have another dreamy look... have to share with my daughter, she will love it too.
Happy day to you.
