Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.
Costumes, Candy, Fall Colors, Crunchy leaves, Cozy Sweaters and Chilled Breezes...
What's not to love?
My, that Jeep looks good against orange.
The thing I love most is the spirit.
There's something about this time of year. Not just Halloween, and not necessarily Fall in general,
but this brief period of time right when the leaves change.
There is this casual vibe in the air. People are relaxed. The Christmas jitters haven't taken hold.
It's that quiet before the holiday storm. And it's quick.
If you're not careful, you'll miss it. And once it's gone, it's gone.
There's no putting those leaves back up.
Orange is a must for any Halloween decor.
Black is the typical partner. Well, that just won't do in the House of Retro.
Typical is not one of our adjectives.
Usually we have an idea of what we want to do for the windows. This Friday was different.
For one reason or another, we adopted the "Eh, let's just see what happens" attitude.
And we were stumped. So there Amy and I stood, staring at the empty windows.
Puzzled. Pondering, searching for inspiration... What goes with orange?
(cue simultaneous Mimosa sips)
