hadley chose to be a ballerina for halloween this year.


we retired her old tutu [she had been wearing since she was three!] + brought out another.  we have a few.  purchased at a garage sale for a couple dollars each.  
best deal ever.  


this one is fuschia velvet with white tulle.


vintage + handmade.  
i added a hoop to the skirt + handpainted 'ribbons' on her tights [inspiration found here + here].

two-headed baby

we came across this lovely doll at the thrift shop.  
i thought it would freak her out but she loved it!  she's come a long way since we tried watching 'finding nemo' [too scary].  


the green one

we visited the pumpkin patch.  
previous years had me going into the muddy field to collect our pumpkins while hadley held her breath + waited [the smell of the mushy field made her retch!].  

but not this year!  
she mucked about with us + found the only green pumpkin in the field.  but she still couldn't stomach the pumpkin guts so she busied herself until we were done carving.  returning to draw eyelashes + blush cheeks.  of course!
