A Nevermore Halloween...

Check out this cute "adults" party, an Edgar Allen Poe themed Halloween party! I love the bookish theme throughout, something about old books is just too perfect for Halloween. Combine it with Poe and a few ravens... magnifique!

A Halloween Apothecary

I've noticed a new trend rising up that I quite fancy taking up myself... apothecary jars! I love apothecary jars because they have a great vintage-y, somewhat "mad scientist" feel depending on how you use em. What's great is they can suit any season depending on what goods you fill them with... and what better use than for Halloween! Check out some of my favorite apothecary Halloween finds...





You can find these at The Garden Web, The Steampunk Home blog (awesome blog!!), Vintage Mint, Pottery Barn, and the Hostess Blog.

Vintage Halloween - when scary was in

Halloween in the time of Cholera is a fantastically spooky flickr set that was forwarded to me by a friend. It just goes to show you we've gotten worse at spooking up Halloween, because damn if these photos aren't scary...




No "sexy indian" costumes here, no sirree. Check out the whole set on flickr, shudder, and remember kindly that Halloween is really supposed to be freaking scary!
