Fall is Almost Here!

The first day of fall is September 23--my birthday! I'm psyched. I would love fall even if I didn't get presents. It's the best time of year to watch creepy and bizarre movies, like 1922's silent vampire flick Nosferatu and the 1980 cult classic Forbidden Zone. I get to unearth my favorite brown sweater from the closet, watch the leaves turn orange, drink hot cocoa, and admire everyone's adorably spooky Halloween decorations.

If you're looking for some nifty additions to your Halloween decor, a nesting doll might be just the thing you need. You might not immediately associate Russian dolls with fright night, but matryoshki can be pretty spooky. Just take a look at our Halloween Nesting Doll (above)! This ghoulish witch and her colorful monster friends can't wait to bring a little seasonal spirit to your home.

This Halloween Cats Matryoshka doll is the cat's meow.

Our Owl Nesting Doll is a real hoot. The set features a great horned owl complete with three-dimensional details, a barred owl, a barn owl, a snowy owl, and a newly hatched owlet.

A stacking doll depicting the story of the witch whose house stood on chicken legs, Baba Yaga.

A spooky Cat Eyes Ornament makes a great Halloween treat.

This Owl Ornament would love to perch in your Halloween tree.

And, now, a question: How do you like to celebrate Halloween? Is there a picture, recipe, story, tradition, or anything else you'd like to share? Email it to me at Amy@GoldenCockerel.com and we'll share it with the world!

Happy last days of summer!

The baby bat cried out in fright,
"Turn on the dark!
I'm afraid of the light!"
