Mysterious Girls from The Black Apple - Kitten Bandit Print 8x10
Kitten Bandit

This is as spooky as you're gonna get
this halloween at Hello Lovely.
No time for bats or masqueraded
door-to-door beggars of sugar.
 
Displeased with the halloween grinching?
It aint on accounta the Jesus lovin.
The creepster holiday just isn't a fav
(yep, this coming from one with an affinity for
skulls, wolf paws, and bobcat teeth).

Portrait with Pet Bat / Large Print 11x14

I lied about the bats!
Don't you love the whimsy and imagination
of artist  Emily Winfield Martin?
Emily's new book is
Dream Animals
(Random House, 2013).





Does this trick-or-treater have her
Steve Martin and Kate Moss far-away look
down to an art or what?

I feel unwelcome to this wedding, do you?

Emily's flower girls are all that.

So go ahead and get your ghosty thrills on,
you halloweenie apple bobbers.

    Wonderful post. We just added a Mrs. Peepers look alike to the family! Maybe I need a cat beanie.
