Halloweeeeeeeeeen!

We are having a costume party here in the office today.  There are only two of us.  And we're having a contest. 


{I am Pumpkin Head}
..And yes, that is a torn open bag of candy that I got into...
...And yes, I am pregnant...

And Meghan...
Is a ghost.

We're taking votes.

The winner will take this beauty home:


No, I'm just kidding.  I'm not giving Meghan my dog. 

But the winner will get THIS:


Happy Halloween!!  Feel free to cast your vote in the comments section.


xoxo, Lauren

ps-
If you'd like help creating a home you absolutely love and you are not frightened away by this post, contact me about our design services.

pps- We just moved offices a week or 2 ago & are in the midst of redoing it.  Will be sure to post pics as soon as we have them!

    That's hilarious! And Meghan should get a raise for being able to work with a sheet covering her face.

    Wait you're pregnant?!!!! If so that is the most sly announcement ever!

    And if you aren't, I'm pretty sure Bryn and I are the first of 6000 to ask after that post :P

    Yay, baby! I just love following your blog for all kinds of tips, ideas, motivation and warm fuzzies. (Especially since my own marriage this summer and finding out we have a baby on the way, as well!) While BOTH costumes are really quite extraordinary, I have to vote for the Pumpkin Head. :-)

    Thanks for all the wonderful posts!

  46. Mary @ Sea QuiltsOctober 31, 2011 at 5:17 PM

    I'm not gonna lie ... the sheer simplicity of Meghan's approach draws my vote. May I suggest cutting holes for the eyes? It still would look very old school.

    Thanks for the fun,
    Mary

    They're all beautiful...first I was thinking the fern star in moss, but then I was captured by the ticking stripe in aqua. I've always loved a ticking stripe.

    Your site is so beautiful...sometimes I can't look because it makes me wistful and sad. And sometimes I get inspired.
