Going all out with accessories!

I've seen this photo on a few different websites but finally found one with a comment from the parent. I think this is just absolutely adorable and soooo creative! When my little girl does the whole pirate thing, we are definitely building a pirate ship on her Radio Flyer Wagon as well!



Here's the comment from the Dad: "The pirate ship is a plastic wagon that has 3/4 inch plywood on the deck wrapped by cardboard and duct tape. I cut long lengths of cardboard to make it look like real wood sides and duct taped. Over the top of it the mast is 3-inch pvc and 2-inch cross pvc. The material I had on hand and the rope I rigged made the ship look realistic. My 3 year old son, Jacob, and my 9 month old son, Benjamin, are the pirates looking for loot." ~ Bob



Great work Dad! This just goes to show, you can never do too much for a Halloween costume!

Ultimate Corpse Bride Costume

With a price tag of $600+, the sky would have to be the limit on your bank account to be able to buy this costume, but I couldn't help but feature it anyways. I could never afford this beautiful dress but I LOVE to look at it! The design and execution is amazing and flawless. I would die to be able to have this in my costume collection! Drool with me please, because if I find out you bought one - I'll DIE of jealousy! =)



This dress is made by the extremely talented Deconstructess Designs, I came across it on an eBay search where she also has them listed from time to time along with some of her other fantastic creations.

Just because this dress makes me want to go watch the movie again, here is some Corpse Bride goodies:








Try not to drown in my drool,
