Halloween has come and gone...

I'm both sad and relieved at the same time, the trick-or-treaters have visited, the party's over... Though it IS Halloween year-round at our house, at least I'm "off the clock" so to speak for Halloween obligations.

The party went well, everyone had fun, our guests got a bit rowdier than usual (much cleaning ensued afterwards), but we had a good turn out despite the rainy weather. We had lots of creative costumes and lots of enthusiasm. My costume worked out pretty well, though I traded the granny boots for ballet slippers about halfway through the party, little black ballet slippers. My wig refused to stay put but since my hair is black anyway no one but me seemed to notice...

We actually ran out of candy for the trick-or-treaters this year, and my husband handed out pennies (no one complained). We had a first this year, a trick-or-treater was talking on his cell phone when we answered the door (damn teenager, no costume). We're keeping the decorations up through the weekend, just to enjoy them. The pumpkin will remain on the porch till it rots (our record to beat is March).

Off to bed.. I've been trying to get back to real life (and work). I got ambitious last night and opened an Ebay store� to organize my auctions and provide a better way to sell my antique postcards (don't laugh, it's a really addictive hobby). I made a pretty little logo and the page looks nice, now I need to add new items so they won't all be lumped together. I've been good this fall and haven't bought any postcards for myself, I went crazy last year and have a really impressive personal collection. Check out my Halloween Postcards page to see some of the really classic ones I've managed to acquire and to see why collecting the darn things is so fun ;-)
