Thunder

The weather is totally out of wack! In one week it has gone from chilly and breezy to sweltering hot to humid with crazy thunder and lightning... Spooky.

Costume...

Thank goodness for the goodies I found at the thrift store today! Perfect stuff for my costume and possibly for next year's as well...

This isn't really a clue to what my costume is, I just liked the picture. But, after I finally finish the costume and we head closer and closer to All Hallow's Eve, I shall announce what it is!

Witch Lantern

Fell in love with this little lantern I bought at World Market (which I am still used to calling Cost Plus). They have such cool things for Halloween this year, only they don't seem to show it all on their website. You'll just have to take my word for it and head out to World Market!

If you'd like to make your own vellum lanterns, just follow Martha Stewart's instructions for hanging lanterns and table lanterns.

First Day of Fall

I wish we had more trees like this in SoCal.

Here is the first part of the season premiere episode.

Here is my favorite part of the whole episode, probably the most hilarious moment:

"I'm just trying to get evidence, guys..."

Watch it here!

Ghost Adventures: Season Premiere

Not only was it full of cool evidence, but it was darn-right hilarious!

Here's a little clip, and yes, he wore the hat for the whole episode:

Barnabas!

Loved this little collection of Dark Shadows stuff on Joey Myer's Photostream.

Can't wait until Tim Burton's version comes out!

"Ghost Writer" The Story of Patience Worth (1919)

My Grandpa saw this article in his Smithsonian Magazine and knew I would be interested.

"A long list of physical sleuths, psychologists, and other skeptics tried to debunk Patience and prove that Pearl was a fraud. No one succeeded."

Added to My Collection...

I woke up yesterday morning and literally thought "Halloween magazines will be out today!" I don't know what made me think I was so right, but when I went to the grocery store I realized that my prediction had come true... I bought these must-haves.

Martha, Martha, Martha...
