The Costume Craziness that is Halloween has come to an end along with our fabulous Costume Countdown. It got supremely hectic down at Scavenge in those last few days. The staff was in costume, half of our customers were in costume, and something happened for the first time ever.
On Halloween day, we had everything in store on sale for HALF OFF! It wasn’t planned! It just happened and those who wandered in were lucky enough to get some amazing deals!
At times the store was just bursting at the seams with people. Some people amazed me by actually being amazed themsleves that we actually sold out of many items. Please tell me why it is that sooooo many people wait until the very last minute to get their costumes?
In the end, it was all good. This fricken recession we are “enjoying” didn’t stop people from dressing up and having some fun. Sure it made some be more creative, or recycle costume pieces, but that’s okay. It’s all about having some fun, laughing, smiling, and enjoying ourselves despite all the economic crap going on. And costumes are exactly the way to do it.
They get us outside of ourselves. They let us dream and play and separate ourselves from our daily life and worries – even if just for a little bit. So don’t throw away those costumes – whether they be for infants, kids, teens, adults or your pets. Who knows when you or someone else might want or need them. Pack them away for your next theme party or for next Halloween. Who knows where the economy will be then.
Koa had his first Halloween ever!
