trystinn | The Good Stuff

Now that we're no longer having midnight Harry Potter releases, I've made my own fun by volunteering to design the windows for Halloween. I'd kinda hoped that would inspire the other employees to do the same, but it has not. I may sign up for more holidays, at this rate, just so something gets done with bright, colorful things to draw the interest of holiday shoppers. It breaks my heart that I'm the only one who seems to care about this little shop, but the owner is holding on by her fingernails.

Josh and Kevin, as tradition, came by the store today to help. We hung "Happy Halloween" banners across the tall bookshelves at the front of the store. In the right window we set a fogging, bubbling cauldron wreathed in autumn leaves garlands. Added a cute little electric spooky tree, complete with hanging skeletons and a green goblin. Another little cauldron with a tentacle monster coming out of it's mouth is surrounded by little witches. In the left window is the cemetery, complete with a green-faced witch and hissing cat. In the windows, we have caution signs "Goblin Crossing" and a witch on her broom with "Share the road" on it. The right window looks a bit sparse, so I'll bring in more stuff tomorrow. I'd lost track as to what decorations are at my home and which I stored here from last year, apparently.

Yes, pics to come, forgot my camera.
