I was in my 30s before I had ever even heard of them, and then I saw some for sale at a gift shop in Virginia, where I used to live. It is safe to say that Virginia is much more attuned to England and all things English than most of our states are. It goes back to their colonial history, I believe, and the fact that they always fancied themselves first or second cousins to English aristocracy.
Yes i've heard this before about Virginia. Very interesting. :)

I think I'm going to use my greeting cards as a way to say Happy Halloween! and to invite people to come by the house. The more, the scarier! :)

I've made up my mind to make some spooky postage to go with my cards as well. I think a photo of one of my pumpkins will do. Or maybe my werewolf skull...

I usually make my own Halloween cards. One year I did a group of hand-drawn witches around a cauldron on the front, and the inside read, "Nothing says lovin' like something from the coven." Another year I did a coin with hand-drawn Frankenstein profile on the front, with "In Scare We Trust, 20XX." Last year (my best ever, in my opinion) I went to an antique mall, bought 6-8 vintage photos of families or individual children whose faces were very clear, took the photos to a copy place, copied them in sepia tones, cut them out, and glued on tiny googly eyes onto the copies' eyes. Inside, just a simple greeting, "Happy Holidays." You can always take any card and write, "Season's Greetings" on it.

This week I saw a great card @ World Market; it was a carved pumpkin sporting a smiling face and the caption read, "Despite outward appearances, I did NOT enjoy that." (Carving implements were scattered about the counter on which it appeared.)

You should post some pics of those cards, Yombe. I'd love to see them.

They have soft wear out now that you can create your own greeting cards. I'm thinking about sending out my Bartonville Insane Asylum photo on a greeting card to all my friends.
