See, where I'm from right around this day we observe "El Dia de Los Muertos". It is not a joyful day like in this part of the world, is very solemn, no parties, no candy, no costumes...just a day to remember those who were once very important to us but now are gone yet still, live in our hearts.
So when I got to a place when on the same date all these fun things were happening around me, I just went crazy! Like a kid in a candy store I wanted it all!!! The witches, the vampires, the pumpkins the candy. I was in paradise. And I've been hooked ever since. Granted my budget limits my imagination, I try to make the most of my resources and decorate my home with the things I enjoy the most!
Everything goes when it comes to my decor, witches, bats, skulls...as long as it flows it works for me! and every year I try to deliver something different...even if it's just moving one thing form the usual place!
So folks, that is the story of how I became fascinated with Halloween and how much I love all the magic of the month of October ! Oh Yes...my house is ready for all goblins, witches and warlocks since the first day of the month...so we can enjoy it for 31 wonderful days! I hope you all have a great Halloween Night and stick with me on this new broom ride wherever it will take me! Good Night and Happy Hauntings.
Besitos,
Lizy
Welcome to blogland! What a wonderful post. I love it too, I think it is getting a chance to dress up and play a part. I love the Day of the Dead sculptures I see in Mexico and would have a couple, but don't think I could get them home without breaking. Your staircase is out of this world! I am going to have to try that next year. Enjoy blogging!!!!
