I am a tremendous fan of vintage Beistle Halloween decorations, but they can be rather pricey on ebay (if you want originals).
For a more reasonable price range you can visit The Vintage Beistle Store and check out a bunch of reproductions.
Not exactly the same as the weathered old ones, but still…
Do you have a favorite iconic Halloween decoration? I’d love to do a post about reader favorites.

Hostess With the Mostest has shown a new twist on traditional Halloween decor: black and blue, evil science.
I haven’t been to Home Goods yet (where many of these decorations come from), but put mad science into anything…and it’s pretty likely I’ll enjoy it.
How do you feel about unconventional colors and themes for Halloween? Do you keep it traditional or mix it up?
A couple more pics here.

Usually I feature a few items at a time from Pottery Barn or other stores that carry Halloween treats. However, these lights deserve their own post because I love them so very much.
I actually think they work better without the “Halloween” ones beneath.
Now to battle the decision of spending $30 on a few little lights…on the wish list they go…

It’s only July but Pottery Barn has some Halloween items in stock. Anyone else as excited as I am about bits of impending autumn?
Candles:
Bat string lights:
And my favorite…the subtle skull vases:
What’s your favorite item?

Does anyone know the artist responsible for this (I bet one of you will!)? I swoon every time I look at this piece.
The lesser known alternative to “shooting lasers from one’s eyes” is shooting pinup models.
My fellow introverts, here is a fabulous KEEP AWAY sign!
Who wants a start a club with this name with me?
From Cake Wrecks comes this awesome reproduction:
Hey, want some fashion? Here goes…
Hairdo hall of fame!
Excellent costume idea:
And while was not intended as a Halloween costume, I think it would work wonderfully as one.
Great alternative to to poodle skirt:
Just make sure you’re not dressed for trouble.
Lovely Crazy Cat Lady:
This has been circulating a lot, but I just have to make sure you’ve all seen it.
Two loves had he…
“Lite Brite, Lite Brite…turn on the magic of colored lights!”
[Imitates Todd Flanders] “Is your source on this reliable?”
This kid is going places in life…
Old Sunday School postcards are always cheese-tastically awesome.
The word of the week: HAMAGINATION.
I love hints of barely detectable darkness amidst standard prim and proper design.
Well done, taxidermist. Well done. Does anyone remember the Ren and Stimpy “Log” commercial that featured “Ultra Log” (which just had a hideous dead squirrel nailed to the top)?
Coincidentally, I also came across what might have been the goal of the project above:
Can this be me, please?
Okay…time to get some reading done…

Behold, the Castle Grayskull igloo!
SourceI vaguely remember this special…
Aww…look at this little gentleman from Handmade Stuffs:
A little metallic minimalism:
And for those who don’t want minimalism, a giant ball of Christmas pudding:
Absolutely no comment here. This blog is a family establishment.
Hey…Santa isn’t supposed to be a rugged lumber jack! If this version of our beloved St. Nicholas showed up at my house, I’d give him yard work to do.
If Santa were a Shih Tzu:
And this one appears to have had a run-in with some pepper spray.
He sees you when you’re sleeping…
Now for some beautiful sweets, a gingerbread typewriter:
If anyone has either of these musical gems, please share!
On the other hand, please do NOT send me this album. Oh Scott Weiland…why? I gave STP quite a few spins in my adolescence, but Weiland’s crooning on this album makes me sad, uncomfortable, and a bit embarrassed for him. Go ahead and listen to some samples if you want to see why this is what the bad children should get for Christmas.
Speaking of sad, it looks like this Santa was just released from the burn unit:
One of a series of Christmas illustrations by Graham Wilson (he does some great Christmas/Halloween mashups too).
Proportion? Never heard of it. Santa is magical. He can do what he wants.
A decoration for the Trekkies!
Kitteh refuses to be your holiday prop (I love the hand on the left, presumably going to help…a little too late).
This X-ray tree by Nick Veasey (whom I could have sworn I posted about before, but is not turning up in my searches) would make a wonderful holiday card.
Or if you prefer a glow in the dark variety:
We’ll finish with this amazing Harold Lloyd Christmas tree, recently posted by my friends at Unusual Life.
