I remember finding these over the summer, and thinking to myself, be sure to remember these for Halloween! Skeleton Flamingos!
Yes, the pink flamingo has gone spooky. Sadly, I didn’t remember them, and now there is not enough time to get a flock for Halloween this year.
What reminded me was this post on the Craftzine blog, which shows one of these flamingos being used to make a spooky, Doom Flamingo! Since I don’t have skeleton flamingos, maybe I will just do what I did before, and make ghost costumes for our pink flamingos. Although, I don’t think a lot of people got it… they just thought I was covering them for the winter.
At least our indoor flamingo has a Halloween costume (photo to come).
I don’t remember the year I bought this adorable wreath, as it was many moons ago, but it does have a fun story behind it. My mom and I were shopping at ZCMI (which is no longer) when we saw this cute wreath. Of course we had to each get one, but what was such a fun surprise was my good friend from high school, Kiersti, was also there buying the exact same wreath! I hadn’t seen her in a long time, so it was tons of fun to see her there.
The wreath is hanging on the door to the basement. I would still like to find a fall wreath for the outside of our front door, something that can stay up until it’s time to decorate for Christmas (which in my opinion is not until after Thanksgiving, unlike all the stores which think it’s before Halloween). This wreath is also inside because I just really love to see it, and I wouldn’t see it much on the outside of our front door.
Do you have a Halloween wreath?
Two really fun pumpkin images have been making their way into my email box, so I have to share them with you just in case you haven’t seen them. Truly amazing!
And what would a post about pumpkins be without a few pumpkin recipes?
- My friend Amy recently posted this recipe for pumpkin cupcakes and I have been thinking about them ever since!
- My favorite pumpkin cookie recipe! They are very soft and moist.
- I haven’t tried roasting pumpkin seeds before, but it sounds like it could be good.
- And this recipe has nothing to do with pumpkins, but it is a great Halloween cake that I really want to make. Check out the Halloween marble cake from Zoe Bakes.
We got this adorable witch costume from Target last year. We thought it was so detailed and cute, we just couldn’t pass it up. Baby won’t wear hats, but it did come with a witch hat. We still think it’s cute, even without the hat.
This year, Baby got a clown costume for review from GW Little. You can see that post here if you like. It’s going to be hard to choose just one costume for her this year, she also has a skeleton shirt and a glow in the dark Happy Halloween shirt. What a spoiled little dog (all dogs deserve to be spoiled).
As mentioned, my favorite Halloween item ever, my Corpse Bride Village. It was a gift from my parents, and I am slowly trying to add items to make it even more fun (I have plans to make some spooky trees). What I love about it has to do a lot with the movie, where the world of the dead is actually more lively and colorful than the world of the living.
The village has four buildings, the “Second Hand Shop”, the Professors home, the land of the living church, and the pub.
