Pink Saturday Celebrates Halloween

 

My two favorite costumes, Halloween 2020, as seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art gift shop. I was delighted to find a Halloween picture that had something pink for Pink Saturday fun. 

I read an article this afternoon that the retail forecast for Halloween this year was very low. But fortunately, the article reported, Halloween is in full swing all over the country. I had the same expectation for Halloween in New York City this year, too, and while things are more subdued, I can definitely see lots of signs of the holiday.     

This simple, but fun, decoration is right around the corner

 from my building. I smile every time I walk by. 

This is my favorite decoration of the season, at my favorite bakery in the neighborhood, Breads. I am always in awe of their well-carved pumpkin and this year lived up to the challenge. I wanted to see what their Halloween goodies looked like, but the line to get inside the store was literally out the door. It kept me from going in and I figure I saved at least a thousand calories.  

Boo Hoo! It's not even Halloween

I made my first visit in months to our neighborhood Marshalls this morning and was saddened to see Halloween goodies on sale already. Across the aisle there was a table of Thanksgiving treats and the staff was putting out the -- drumroll! -- Christmas selection. I was very tempted by a snowman soap dispenser, but I'm trying to restrain myself until at least November. I did buy two gifts, and if I can keep to plan, will get them wrapped and in the mail by December 1. 

I'll be back tomorrow with Pep and friends for Halloween fun. I hope you'll join the celebration. 

As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care.
