Halloween Comes to Trader Joe’s

This afternoon I picked up Kay and we went for Indian food and then the Trader Joe’s in Berwyn where I spotted a cute little seasonal display. 

Don't Say It Thrice

How good is Heather's Beetlejuice sandworm tat?! 

Grace's Ghosty Kitty

I have a bunch of trading cards by this same artist (gcwatercolors) and am so impressed with their sweet, simple style. This spooky cat ghost print is just begging me to buy it....

23 October 2023

Three years ago Kayla and I went to Vegan Treats for some delicious Halloweenie goodies. Later she sent me this clip of her and Kenny indulging in the coffin cake. I love how Kenny's eyes are popping out of their sockets.

Autumn's Seasonal Decor

Autumn's house is utterly chic and cozy and I loved these few little Fall touches.

Boo Bathroom

I hung out last night with Heather and Ben and their guest bathroom was feeling the season.

Halloween Cards 2026

This year I didn't go nearly as crazy with sending Halloween cards to everyone. I mainly sent to nearest and dearest plus to faraway pals and people I don't see nearly enough. But come December, almost everyone I know is getting a Christmas card! I'll get started on those soon.

From Barbara on the 13th:

From Melanie:

Seen at Autumn's house!

David's arrived on the 24th!

Vegan Treats Halloween Cake

Drac & Monster Forever

Look at these sweet lil' pumpkins that Kay and Kenny painted back in 2021!!

Ghostly Gathering

How freakin' adorable are these little ghosties?! This puzz is a total keeper.

Eat the Eggs!

Oh my gosh, look at this INCREDIBLE poster for Mr. Boogedy that I saw over on Readful Things!! The chosen tagline - Time to call a realtor. - is one that my mother and I still quote from time to time. Such a fun movie!!!

Scary Cereal!

If these were real, I would so get them!! If only for the Tom Atkins goodies.

The Haunted Lighthouse

In my ideal life, where I am rich beyond dreams of avarice, I buy everything in this Vegan Treats collection and don't think twice about how crazy-bananas expensive it is!

Little Spooky Studio

If I had tons and tons of cash, I would buy almost everything this shop offers. Everything is so stinkin' cute and cozy and I would one hundred percent turn my bathroom into a Halloween-Is-Every-Day room, with these prints acting as a border along the top of the walls.

Ye Ole Spooky Shoppe

This one was fun to do while listening to Veal by Mackenzie Nolan, which so far is very creepy with great characters. The narrator kinda slips into a weird Irish-y accent for some of the voices, which is odd, but other than that, I am really enjoying it. Janine's brother Noah recommended it to me New Year's Eve 2025 and I finally got it from the library and am giving it a listen. I love that all the characters are female and most are lesbian. I think I need to seek out more novels that pass the Bechdel test. Anyway...here's the finished puzz. I'll definitely be keeping this one for next October.
