From Villafane Studios:

Incredible idea!

I may be trying my hand at a diorama pumpkin this year…

Artist for these next ones, anyone?

HA!

Oriental Trading Co. has thousands of Halloween items. Here’s a goody bag of random treats I happen to like that I haven’t posted in previous roundups here or here (wow, there was some cool stuff in those old posts now that I look back!).

For the jewelry makers…
Hanging Bat Charms

Body Part Charms

Bat and Mummy Lampwork Beads

Latex Skull Balloons

Stripes!

Stickers (childhood, I miss you!)

Plus Bean Bag Bats (I have NO practical use for these…but they are just so darn cute).

Halfway to Halloween Countdown: Halloween Hot Sauce

Posted in food, halloween, products with tags , , on April 28, 2013 by shewalkssoftly

Everything is better with a bit o’ Halloween involved, and hot sauce is no exception. So I bring you Halloween Hot Sauce.

I am high in the running for World’s Biggest Wuss when it comes to spicy food, so I’m a Spider Venom kinda girl.

Do you like your hot sauce haunted?

Halfway to Halloween Countdown: My Pet Ghost

Posted in halloween, products, undead, you can't handle the cute with tags , , , on April 27, 2013 by shewalkssoftly

For super cheesy Halloween fare, I must admit Hallmark’s My Pet Ghost series is pretty neat.

My favorite is Maxwell McSpooky…the MAD SCIENTIST.

The bottle appears empty, until you push a button (not me in this video):

Halfway to Halloween Countdown: Yankee Candle Boney Bunch

Posted in decoration, halloween, home, undead, wedding, wish list with tags , , , , , on April 26, 2013 by shewalkssoftly

We’re almost halfway to Halloween…who wants to celebrate?

HOW could I be such a die hard Halloween fan and have known nothing about the Yankee Candle Boney Bunch characters until finding them in an image search this year?

What an adorable collection of candle holders, figurines and other household decorative items!

And even if you don’t use them on a cake, I happen to think these happy newlyweds (newlydeads?) would make for an excellent wedding proposal (if you can’t invest in a Zombie Fortune Teller for your sweetie with spooky leanings).

Anyone have the Boney Bunch?

Well, that time of year is upon us when the warming weather and gradual greening of nature lends itself to happy thoughts of I can’t wait for Autumn! What could be more fun than taking a simple doll house and making it into something fun and spooky?

You’ll be hangin’ out the washin’ on the Siegfried Line in style with these great “Bat Pegs” (those are clothes pins, if you misplaced your Anglican Converter.) No doubt a “Dana Wish List” item, and something we all need to liven up laundry day.
