Witches and Goblins and Ghosts...

        If you have kids age 13 and under, you are probably already starting to think about Halloween. And anymore, it's not only celebrated on October 31st as the costumed kids make their way around their neighborhood trick-or-treating.  Most schools have a parade and Halloween party,  many churches have a Fall Festival, and now some schools and other organizations have trunk-or-treat celebrations that may or may not fall on the holiday itself.  Of course you want your kid to have a fun costume or two, then add in the purchase of several bags of candy for each event and probably some decorations or crafts, and the dollars add up!
     Well, today's blog will show some fabulous costumes,  for a fabulous price, that you can purchase right now at Twice Blessed/Diva's, the consignment shop where I work in downtown Lake Orion. We stop selling costumes shortly before Halloween, so if you see something you like or if you want to see what else we have in stock, stop in sooner rather than later!


Up first is this darling girl who came into the store with her Mom and ended up buying this witch costume.

Next, this swarthy young man is the son of another Twice Blessed/Diva's employee. I heard he demanded a pirate's booty for being photographed, but I think it was worth it!


Here, I had a photo shoot with my daughter, top right, and friends, who generously agreed to model some of our costumes for free!   But I must add, their Moms did end up buying them each a costume, so all of the costumes here may not be available for sale!

My daughter Sarah isn't sure how she will style this dress, but she is thinking Ursula, the under sea witch from Disney's "The Little Mermaid".  Add a white wig, red lipstick and six more arms, and I think she's got it!


Kayleigh is a natural for a Minnie Mouse Costume!


Logan and Nico were having too much fun in their morph costumes!

Twice Blessed/Diva's is a great place to begin your search for a Halloween costume.  Many cost $10 or less and most are $15 or less.  We have everything from an infant bumblebee to a girls size 16 Unicorn costume. So stop here first and save some money for extra candy and decorations, and Happy Halloween!
