With October’s arrival, it’s a perfect time to showcase how we’ve decorated for Halloween this year. Back in the spring, we visited Tennessee, where we bought a lot of prints from Hatch Show Print, and realized we needed to make way for more art. Previously, a wall in our hallway was home to three photos Patrick took on 120 film at Joshua Tree, which we swapped out seasonally. Initially, we thought of making a gallery wall, but we wanted more versatility, so instead Patrick made three shallow shelves that we can lean a variety of art on. I was shocked at how quickly we filled it with Halloween related art!

I only bought a handful of small items this year, but my dad really helped me grow my spirit board collection, including one of my holy grails, the We-Ja Girl board. Patrick and I also finally framed part of the box of an early 20th century Ouija board I purchased awhile back. Late last year some friends gifted us some vintage items from the Anaheim Halloween Parade, including an incredible poster from the 1970s, which we framed, along with ribbons that I placed in a shadow box.
