This last week, I got a few new decorations and was very proud of them. My newest finds include:

Dead Eye Drake from Craigslist
YouTube- Dead eye Drake the animatronic pirate SOLD

A three dancing skeleton light set from Craigslist

Animated metal light up penguin from a garage sale (which I can put a white sheet on and make a moving, glowing ghost out of)


And finally..... Pumpkin seeds!




So what did you just find?

Wow I thought it must be some hard to find antique but it is for sale on Lionel right now. While I think the price is crazy, it does have some pretty cool features.
Oh no worries, I gladly volunteer to be the idiot who buys it. Ill let you all know what it can do. Who knows, maybe I'll get a free Tshirt after spending $2k 😂😭

I had no idea they celebrated the holiday (kinda thought they might celebrate Day of the Dead like Mexico) but they call it Dia de la Mascarada (Day of Masquerade).

We also ate a bougie dinner at Restaurante Silvestre who served some dishes with masquerade toppers. Ours were the devil.

Here's are article about the holiday for them and shockingly it was formally solidified in 1996 as cultural arts initiative.


When we were flying out of the San Jose international airport there were some on display but sadly no merch available.

I like your fabric. It gives me that vibes of the McDonald's Halloween buckets. I just recorded a video last night that I'm working on editing now which is Temu Halloween part 2. Here's a sneak of a few of the items.

I need to check out your videos. On Temu I noticed a number of items which show other companies masks (Ghoulish Productons) and props (Distortions) and when you get to the later product images they are different than the first advertised photos.
