I'm throwing a vintage Halloween party. Sort of.
I don't know if I've ever done this on my blog before and I feel a little silly about it.
But I have to confess. I'm lying to you.
Well, not lying lying.
It's just that this whole post is what I will call a "fantasy vignette". I had a bunch of vintage looking Halloween stuff in my dining room, but it looked a bit weak, so I added some items as if I were having a little party.
I did not have a party. Your invitation did not get lost in the mail.
It's all a ruse to make my photos look more festive.
So enjoy my faux party now that I have ruined any pretense whatsoever that it was real 🙂
BTW, the problem with a faux party is that you have food left over.
I will need to find a way to eat 6 caramel apples in the next week or so before they go bad, because I am the only one in the house here that even remotely enjoys them.
And my limit is normally one every other year.
I feel a cavity coming on. I guess that's what I get for lying to you.

Your Halloween party decorations are so cute! The Pumpkin Head trick or treater is a cutie and so is the little dog with the witch hat on. "Real" party, or not, everything looks really festive. Good luck with the candy apples. When I was a kid, I always liked to gnaw off as much of the caramel and nuts as possible and leave most of the apple behind.

Well, I just had a spooktacular time at your party, thanks for "inviting" me! The decorations are awesome, and those caramel apples were so good it was scary! Let's do this again next year....Happy Halloween to you! Sheila from Kinmundy, IL
