A Taste of Halloween

Somebody buy those and scan them.  It would be fun to have them for clipart images.

So before I help Selene go shopping this weekend:



(Selene was very naughty this week. She turned the local parson into a newt. I think he deserved it though.)

It's scans of the side panels you want for Clipart (whatever that is)?

High Res scans of the silhouettes, like the witch dancing with her cat familiar.

Those would look good on Halloween-themed T-shirts for kids - or to decorate stationery / Halloween party invitations, etc.

So I bought a box of the Nestlé's chocolates with the cat and three of the Frito-Lay boxes including the one with the dancing cat today. I'll get them all scanned tomorrow.

Yes, and she's capable of performing incredible gymnastics with kindred wildlife and other forest dwellers!

I'll get them all scanned tomorrow.

So I scanned the sides and end panels of the three Frito-Lay boxes as well as the Nestlé box and each of the individual chocolate bars. I can provide these scans to anyone who PMs an email address to me.

These aren't contemporary purchases but cool none the less & are purely Halloweeny rather U.M. Have held onto them for about 8-10yrs now.

Here's a beer called 'Hobgoblin' by Wychwood Brewery I used to enjoy (not so much this blonde version they call 'Gold' but the bottle was too nice to pass up). The company used to do excellent labels every year for Samhain, but dropped that 'decadence' on their regular Ruby Hobgoblin Ale during the past two & a bit years hoo-ha for a very crap label instead which is a real pity. Glad I kept the good uns though. Excuse the dust on the bottle.

& here's another shelf sitter I have had for about 10 years. The actual treacle expired 2015, no idea if it would be still good to eat or not, probs fine, though i wont be trying it anytime soon. I have two of these actually, not sure where the other can is. Anyway, love the design of this, goes back to whats now deemed 'Retro Halloween' aesthetic, it does have that bygone era design, but that's what beautiful about it to me. Has  a bit a Carni look too, can imagine walking through this as an entrance at a sideshow somewhere 🎃

Not sure if it's something done States side, but when we were kids, one of the party games for Halloween was Treacle slathered crumpets or scones hung up just above nose height on a horizontal string line & you would have to try & compete with friends, siblings, cousins, etc by eating them with your hands behind your back, very messy & much fun 🎃

These Jelly Belly Monster Mash Jelly Beans also come in the larger bag.  But, I like the 1 oz. single serve bags for trick-or-treaters.
