MOOD BOARD

What a weekend! Wayyyyy too much eating, buckets of libations, just enough birthday revelry, and maybe one clandestine. Wonderful weather.  I looked myself over real good getting up at the guesthouse yesterday, and as long as I don't feel 55 or look it, I'm happy with that!!! The display case is holding up nicely if I say so. The parade was very fun and festive, and I got the vibe from the crowd everyone seems ready for happy days again. Could it have been an omen? Granted we were in Biden Country...but still, even overhearing some people who were even republicans...can't stand this party and administration. We got back in mid evening last night, and enjoyed some pints with a bonfire.... now two days to enjoy before heading back into the rat race. Hopefully a day to get caught up at the Casa, and then one day to relax.



May the frights continue during the week!!

  4. Love these October mood boards! Autumnal, fun, chic and yet just a tad chilling of Hallows. Love the picture of Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and David Carradine. I adored them all. I watched two chilling cult classics with Cushing yesterday.

    I look forward to your beach post. We had great weather down here, and the parade looked pack as always.

    1. Remarkably, Vincent Price and Christopher Lee were born on the same date, and Peter Cushing's birthday was the day before. The first and only time all three appeared with fellow horror star John Carradine (David's dad) was in House of the Long Shadows in 1983! Jx

  12. Some great pictures today! I especially love the one of the lady looking in the mirror, yet it also looks like a skeleton head. Cool illusion.

    J’adore la salle aux draperies rouges, les bougies et les perles, la dame en robe haute couture, le fantôme-feuille, Bugs Bunny et Gossamer, ainsi que le bel homme noir d’or. :)
