Pink Halloween

Do you know how difficult it is for a pink-aholic to find pink Halloween items. I really hadn't thought of it until I walked into the Salvation army one day and there were these pink candy collecting pumpkins. Then it all started-the hunt for pink halloween-just to take camping with me. It's been really difficult-not that I don't like a challenge or a hunt because I do(ask my best friend, Tete!)-but there's not a lot out there except for costumes. So I'm open to ideas for decorating at the campground. I ended up with 3 of these buckets and put candles in them and also found this cute Boo curtain for only $2 at the Salvation Army. I figured some black and white will work good too and this was too cute to pass up. Then after searching the web, ebay, etsy and various stores-I decided to come up with some things on my own. I painted a plug in pumpkin that I had that was a yellowish green pink and added this pink haired witch hat. The spider lights up with pink lights! I've got a few other ideas up my sleeve so check back in the next month-I'm going to try and post pink Halloween items each Saturday this month! Happy Pink Halloween!

    you are clever! Pink Jack-O-Lanterns might just be the new trend.
    Happy Pink Saturday....I have to go figure out what I'm doing.

    Happy Pink Saturday Rebecca Sweetie...
    Oh how sweet is the pink for Halloween. I love the little curtain (Boo), have you thought of painting the ghost pink? That would work, if you want a pink theme going on.

    I have to admit you have given me some ideas too. I may have to start thinking a little pink myself. Such a precious share, and I can't wait until next week to see what you share.

    Have a gorgeous Pink Saturday. Many hugs sweetie and so much love, Sherry

    I think pink and black make great Halloween colors! Who said it had to be orange and black? HA!! I just generally like pink and black together I guess!
    Have a great weekend!

    G'morn Rebecca ~ Gave me a super idea for these 2 white pumpkins I bought & had no idea what to do with! TYSM. Clever ideas ... I agree with Sherry on the pink witch ...

    We finally finished both house constructions & took off for 2 weeks. I apologize, but will be better now.

    I don't decorate with pink stuff but I love what you have done for your trailer, and your house, etc. The best advice I could give is to spray paint everything? Did you spray paint the pink pumkin (with the wig and hat). adorable!!

    that's a great idea, to add a little pink to Halloween, I was a bit worried I wouldn't have anything to show at Beverly's party during October, but now, after reading your post, I shouldn't run out of ideas.

    Happy Late Pink Saturday.

    Hi Rebecca,

    Thanks for the visit Saturday! Sorry I'm so late replying. I started this new job and have to find time for my precious blogging. I love your pink Halloween pumpkins. You are so creative. I'm looking at the lady on the left in your sidebar. I love her pink dress. It would make a wonderful Halloween costume!

    Very cute curtain! And I love your pink pumpkins. I live near a farm stand and she grows real "pink" pumpkins. They are really kind of peach - I think like that 1930's/1940's peachy pink color. They do COST a little more, but they are pretty cool and pretty PINK! Thanks for stopping by!

    My neighbor goes camping on Halloween too, and said everyone decorates like crazy. I think she's doing some kind of scary bride and groom thing, kind of like The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.
    I guess I should hold on to my little pink candy bucket. I didn't know they were so hard to come by :-)
    Blessings,
