  • October 23 – 24: Spooky Basket

    I had previously mentioned that I was doing a Spooky Basket Exchange. Well, my buddy received their bucket on Saturday and I hope they liked it. I received mine on Sunday and I loved it. Behold the bounty!

    Popcorn!!!
    Light up kitty, mothman mug, horror bag and little wooden coffin full of pins.
    Poison Apple Mug
    Wooden pins: mothman, the craft and hocus pocus
    The ladies of the Craft wine glass
    Hocus Pocus spell shirt
    Halloweentown Shirt
    Little punkin
    Bandanas: most wonderful time of the year halloween and hocus pocus
    Skeleton headband, hocus pocus puzzle, and cute spooky kitty bag.
    The witch is in and Welcome spell bottle signs.
    Big comfy blanket with spooky blocks.

    I love every piece. Especially the pin of the Grand High Wizard from The Worst Witch…omg. And the poison apple mug. And the shirts…

    Here is the combined halloween countdown for the 23rd and 24th:

  • Spooky Box Sent…no true spoilers

    My gift for my partner in the Spooky Basket Exchange went out today, and because the box is so cute I thought I would share. I seriously doubt that my partner reads this but just in case this is the only spoiler.

    How cute it that? It is also filled with goodies and on its way. I kinda want to go get one for myself. My second exchange is Sunday, so more Spooky Basket goodness to come. 👻

  • Spooky Basket Exchange #1 – Received

    Spooky Basket Exchange #1 – Received

    I was getting ready to head out to the Magical Days, Madrigal Nights at the Ohio Renaissance Festival when I received a message telling me that my Spooky Basket had been left at my door. I ran down to check and what awaited me was beyond my expectations.

    My buddy, Jessica, made me a witch hat decorated in pinks, purples and teals (my favorite colors). She also got me some Hocus Pocus eyelashes, a minty lipgloss in a black skull, a halloween throw for cold october nights and some adorable spooky ephemera. I love every piece, and have already begun to assemble a costume around the amazing hat. 💙💗💜
