Time Flies

Time Flies when you're having fun.

Also, when you are busy. These past few weeks we have been very busy. Coyote's Blessings has been very popular. Our annual All Hallows' Eve party was last night. The decorations are always so elaborate, we call the week before Hell Week. Theater reference anyone? Between events and commissions, and Nightmare Through Memory Lane, and the party, Crow and I dubbed it 'Apocalypse Week'. Now that it's over, we can regroup and get back on schedule.

Check out the updates for the Season in our store! A more detailed update is forth coming, with more pictures.  From window clings to Knoblings, we have a variety. Some are spooky and some fun. Check them out: Seasonal.

A better update with pictures is forth-coming. Crow has posted a lot of updates on Facebook too.

Mountain View General Store

Tina decorated the Mountain View General Store for the season - creating a home for our skeleton Bones.  He traveled to the store on my back and is currently residing on Dana Street in the Immigrant House, a perfect fit for the old man.

When Bones arrived, his lodgings were not ready, so he waited until Tina set up the interior and exterior of his abode.

Nothing better to pass the time than reading up on local news.

 Tina added lights to the store's exterior, and decorated the inside of the Immigrant House to be more appealing to the ghostly crowd (and skeletons too of course). When the light of the sun dims, the General Store's "front yard" is a riot of gleaming lights.

Back door of the Immigrant House lit up for the Halloween season.

The wooden corner in the foreground is our current display for Clay Critters.

Can you see the moon? She was full the night these were taken.

This display will up until November at least, though the addition of the lights surrounding the store's outdoor area may be a permanent addition.

'Nuff said.

Halloween is here!

This season is my favorite, followed closely by Christmas. Or perhaps they are tied?

We have Halloween goods!
Clay Critters: From the upside-down Bach the Bat, to the small pumpkins perfect for Halloween or Thanksgiving decorations, there are a half dozen exciting new friends. (Crow made a Ghost and Gravestone matched Salt and Pepper shaker!)


Knoblings: Three knoblings join the ranks - Boo the Ghost, who glows in the dark, the Great Pumpkin sitting in his pumpkin patch and my personal favorite Ungoliath - the Queen of Spiders.

Boo - Hovering in its graveyard, ready to spook the unwary. Boo glows in the dark!

The Great Pumpkin - Who Linus faithfully waits for every Halloween.

Ungoliath - Named after Tolkien's Queen of Spiders, she is the ancestor of Shelob.
