I have always been a huge fan of Halloween and I'm delighted that it is becoming a bigger part of our holiday celebrations. Here are two things that inspire me at this time of year:
1. Grandinroad's Halloween Haven Catalog. This is my end-all-be-all favorite Halloween catalog. I love the tablescapes, lawn decor and costumes. There is a little in this catalog for everyone. I try to recreate the playful fun of Disney's Haunted Mansion in my home and there is plenty of inspiration to be found here. Others can find whimsy and macabre if that's what suits their fancy. My favorite items from the latest catalog include the "Calling All Spirits" Gallery Tray (featured above) and Haunted Ash Urn.
2. Target's Victorian Phone. My girls love this thing. I don't have a link to it, because I can't seem to find it online... however, I have seen it in the Halloween section of several of my nearby Target stores. I believe that it is less than $15.00. The phone has two settings: "on" and "sensor". With the sensor button, the phone will ring when you walk past it. It follows up with a creepy voice saying one of several phrases... "I'm coming for you", "Look behind you", or "I know who you are". I had to change the setting to "on" so that it would only ring if I picked it up. I had too many scares walking by it at night and having it ring out of the blue.
