I’ve decided to have a two day salute to Halloween (which used to be my 2nd favorite holiday after Christmas, but now it’s been bumped by Valentine’s Day because I just love the mail), excited?
When I was a kid, I loved the excuse to dress up, and since my mother’s an excellent seamstress, I could be just about anything I wanted. I always felt so sorry for the kids at school who had to wear store-bought costumes. Little did I know, they were feeling sorry for me that I had to wear homemade! I was never anything scary; I felt it much more important to be pretty. I was a princess, a cheerleader, a gypsy, Little Bo Peep, etc. My favorite coustume ever was Little Red Riding Hood. I think I was her two years in a row. My mother had make a red hood I think for somebody’s school play, and I wore that with a pinafore and red Sam & Libbys, and carried my brother’s stuffed wolf in a basket. Very fun.
Here’s a store bought costume that’s been brought to my attention. The name of it is “Naughty Librarian.” Appropriate for work?
