We had a fun night out in Dove Canyon last night! It was our neighbor's bi-annual Halloween bash and since we are the new guys on the block, we just had to go and meet some more locals. After work, I got busy putting one of my appetizer platters together to bring. By the way, if you haven't had St.Andre cheese before, you simply must try it. It's like buttah, I promise.
This is the hostess gift I brought for the Lushes. It is a lovely wine decanter I bought at Pottery Barn. I had fun embellishing the package with some fall sprigs and these super cool "Boo" tags I ordered from etsy.
And we had a ton of fun putting our costumes together. I decided to go as the "merry widow" complete with a sassy black veil that I made, a black feather boa, a fake deed to the house, and a black rose bouquet that I jazzed up with some fluffy black maribou feathers.
And no merry widow costume is complete without the ultimate accessory - a dead husband. Tim took a sword, cut it in half, and put it going into the back of his shirt and coming out of the front with a squirt or two of fake blood. Thank God he doesn't really have to put on make-up every day - he hasn't mastered how to not get it in your hair. HA!
I wish I could have taken some photos inside the Lushes house, but I didn't want to look like a tourist. It was decorated so incredibly for Halloween - not an inch of it was left undecorated. Just amazing! My favorite part of the party was a huge bar complete with glow in the dark martinis. Tim and I got to meet some very fun neighbors - and we got invited to the block party on Halloween night! We had a blast and the best part - when it was all over, we walked home - just four houses down! How cool is that?

Great costumes! The cheese, crackers, and olives look amazing. It sounds like a lot of fun!
P.S. I had to type "blems" to post this.
Glow in the dark drinks! Cool! I'll bet that house was really cute.
That cheese tray is making my mouth water...yummy! Sounds like such a fun party. Can I copy your costume for my party Friday?
Your cheese tray looks delish! And glow in the dark martinis, well, you can't get any better than that! I know it was nice getting to know some of your neighbors! Living in a fun neighborhood makes life very interesting.

What fun!!!
You asked about the ghosts in my daughter's yard. They came from a place online called Grandin Rd.
Just google it, it's the best way to find it. They have amazing Halloween stuff!!
