Halloween Shop Finds

Greetings!

I was supposed to post this a week ago, but due to Halloween preparations, I was late. *Sorry*

 Anyhow, here is a photo post of Halloween items I found in a little shop. Although I'd thought that Australia wasn't that festive, I was pleasantly surprised to find all of these:

Glow in the dark spiderwebs! Can be joined like this, or used as 4 individual corner pieces. I intend to put them in the corners of my room. :)

A black plastic rose, with just a hint of red at the top.

Cauldrons! All pretty tiny, but they're quite cute. <3 The large one says 'Witches' Brew'

These are amazing! In a dark room they have a faint glow when the little lamps are on. Plus PURPLE AND BATS! *squee*

Bad picture sorry. These are 10 Jack o' Lantern lights, that glow orange at night.

Same as the pumpkins, except these are ghost lanterns. :)

Kind of a weird picture, but this stuff is called 'Freaky Fabric' :D I plan to drape it over my wardrobe.

A cheap Witch hat. xD

Well, those are all my finds. (Which shall be decorating my room for the whole year and beyond) Next post should be Halloween 2012, with my costume, and carving skills. :P

Farewell!

Ps: What Halloween decorations did you find, dear followers?

Friday the 13th Things - 13 Halloween Activities for my Future Reference

Greetings!
I am sorry to have not posted much, but between the rush that is catching up on late schoolwork, working double to pay off my medieval dress, and the fact that I haven't been sleeping all that well lately due to stress and bad dreams, I don't really have much good to say.

Also, I regret to say that on November 17 I forgot to acknowledge that it was a monthly celebration, me being 5 months as a Goth. Ah well. Come December it'll be the grand celebration of 6 months, I will catch up then.

Now, on with Friday the 13th Things Survey.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Friday the 13th Things - 13 Halloween Activities for my Future Reference

1: Carve Jack o' Lanterns and Turnip Lanterns

2: Buy a myriad of candles and put them all over my future house.

3: Take my future children out to Trick or Treat

4: Tell stories about the origins of Halloween to my future children

5: Dress up in a traditional costume (Not one of those silly fairy/fireman/princess outfits, rather zombie, mummy, GHOST, vampire, such.)

6: Visit the local graveyard before sundown on Halloween, and yes, I'd take the kids.

7: Teach my future family how to bob for apples.

8: Make sure that my future family feels that Halloween should be defined as much of a holiday as Christmas, no less! (This is something my own parents and sister don't feel strongly about, had it not been for me, they would've just considered it another day.)

9: Watch a Tim Burton movie every year. :)

10: Bake Apple/Pumpkin Pies

11: Eat a lot of candy. :)

12: Play Nox Arcana all over the house.

13: Visit Ireland and celebrate there.

Well, that's it!

Farewell!

Happy Halloween!

Greetings!

I hope you all had a fun and spooky Halloween/Samhain/All Hallows Eve.

I thought for me it'd be a letdown, as again this year I was unable to trick or treat...:( But it still turned out to be quite fun anyway.

I carved 4 turnips (Traditional Irish Jack o' Lanterns!) and two home grown pumpkins. Sadly, they look quite green, being Australian, but they look quite cute non the less.

Here's pictures:

I carved them myself. :)

Some of my candle collection alongside.

Lanterns!

Farewell!
