I'm hosting a pumpkin carving this coming weekend. I used to do these in Montreal, and it was always a blast. I've been trolling the web & pinterest for pumpkin carving ideas & images.

{these 6 from i mockery. Strange cats seem to be the order of the day in these vintage postcards. or a crazy pumpkin with x-ray vision! & what's with the policeman again?!}

I have been looking at ideas for decorations too. I love this door & flying bats. If I find time I hope to do something like this:

I also love these framed silhouettes & prints:

Happy Pumpkin Carving my ghoulish readers!!!
