Look who came into Gleaners today...Wednesday Adams sans wig! Wednesday agreed to show off the Betty Jo Sugar Skull Clock as we are celebrating the Mexican Day of the Dead this week.
There maybe a bit of trick or treating tonight with my miniature Jason from Friday The Thirteenth, but there will be absolutely no mention of the Cup this year. Sorry.
So to celebrate
Día de los Muertos, the end of blogtoberfest, and the fact that I haven't had a GIVEAWAY yet on the Gleaners Inc. blog there is a Betty Jo Sugar Skull brooch up for grabs. It will be very muchos like
these guys.
So just leave a comment on this post or on the facebook update to win.
For a great overview of the Day of the Dead and all it's creative connotations you must read the awesome Madeleine Stamer's guest post on the Design Files this week. I think some Betty Jo skullies maybe making an appearance.
And finally I just want to thank everyone who has shown support for Gleaners Inc. this month. I have had fun blogging everyday in October and taking you on the Gleaners journey.
Gleaners Inc. will be open tomorrow for all you public holiday peeps! So come on in , I will be cracking open the bubbly at champagne o'clock!
Feliz Dia de los Muertos!! My favourite festive occasion. Saw a great exhibition of Mexican Day of the Dead stuff at the Victoria and Albert Museum when I was about 18 years old and in London. Beeen hooked ever since.
