Oh October!

Seems like every time October rolls around I have an 'oh s**t' moment over my things-to-do-before-the-holiday-season-begins list (as an Etsy seller that is). All summer long I have the best of intentions to be prepared but when you run a one woman show it's much easier said than done. Anyhow, it's no different this year and today is that day. haha! So I'm telling myself to kick it into high gear and tackle that list (we'll see how it goes!). First up is to finish this bevy of wall dolls who have been patiently waiting for additional limbs. They gotta have something to kick around with you know ;) Oh....and before I forget....a happy October to you!

Raggedy Ann

The rain let up just in time for Raggedy Ann to go trick-or-treating this evening. I gotta say thank you to the Rountree neighborhood for an awesome first Halloween in Springfield....y'all outdid yourselves!

Vintage Halloween Goodies

 Vintage Tin Halloween Clickers

Vintage Halloween Rubber Stamps

Yay....it's October! Only thirty more nights before the BIG night of spooks 'n all the sweets you can eat. The littlest person in this house is still weighing the most important decision of all--what to be?! She's narrowed it down to a clown, Little Red Riding Hood or a ghost. Feel free to cast a vote and I'll pass it along 'tho I can't promise all ballots will be weighed equally 'cuz at the end of the day she may re-write the ballot. hahaha.

Our Dorothy Gale

Boooo....

....someone has been practicing their very scariest voice all weekend! Our pumpkins are carved, a massive amount of candy has been purchased and one Dorothy Gale costume has been pressed 'n starched. We're ready for tonight folks! Are you?

Mini Pumpkins

We stopped by our local pumpkin patch this weekend to stock up on pumpkins. Lizzie and I were fascinated by these baskets of mini pumpkins. In addition to the mini variety we picked out three big ones to carve into jack o' lanterns. I'm sure I'll be sharing many more pumpkin pictures this month!
