happy halloween everyone! wishing you a day filled with laughter + many many treats! maybe something like the little sacs i put together {below}.
using pouches created from vintage newspapers, black shred + my vintage stamps...they are what i'd like to think i will be handing out this evening. the reality is that we haven't had a trick or treater in {3} years. but i will be ready if & when it happens. and if not then i am sure it won't be a hard sell to find homes for my goodie bags! probably to the hands of myself & hubby!
do you have your costume ready? today i will be perfectly content wearing my recent acquisition...a pair of "BOGS" built not only to take on the worst of weather but look darn snazzy while doing so! if the boot fits...
ok, maybe i'll add my larger than life belt buckle to my ensemble. i picked it up years ago from an artist who made it with fabulous upcycled orange rhinestones plus other bits & pieces. at over 4" across it could double as a shield if ever a time finds me engaged in a sword fight! en garde!
now go forth into this festive day & enjoy whatever "treats" tickle your fancy. maybe it's a sac full of the sweet stuff or maybe just some quality time spent in the good company of friends & family. "treat" can mean different things to different people. so heavy on the TREATS...and toss in a few TRICKS here and there to keep 'em on their toes!
hope you have a spooktacular day!
Love those little goodie sacks, Happy Halloween.

I have wanted a pair of bogs for awhile now. Maybe I will have to splurge. The goodie bags are adorable. I did something like that a few years ago with some vintage printed black paper. AND....no trick or treaters at my country house also.
