Halloween Inspiration from Mara Mi

October 23, 2012

Whenever I am in need of a little inspiration, I head to Mara Mi–my favorite store in downtown Stillwater.   The bright lights and big windows set the perfect stage for their designers to work their magic with the merchandise…Gorgeous!

Test tubes filled with orange candy, a multi-layered cake worthy of the Bride of Frankenstein, and black and white straws fill the store with Halloween color.

These cards make me want to pull out my Christmas card list and start mailing…

Or perhaps I should make little treat bags and add these labels:

These cards remind me of my twins when they were in third grade:

Trend note: metallic painted pumpkins are IN!

So many ideas…so little time…I think I’ll just sit down and have a cup of coffee and one of their darling little cupcakes…

To be continued….

    it’s so hard to go in there without buying little knick-knacks that you don’t need!

      I usually end up with a notebook that I don’t need!

    I am loving that no mess way of decorating a pumpkin. And, I also like the sweet, vintage-y look of the Halloween decorations. So often this fun holiday is hijacked by gore, sex and blood. Come to Denver Mara Mi!

      Is Mara Mi a chain??

      I am not sure painting pumpkins with my kids would have been any less messy!?
