      The Spooky Community has *OFFICIALLY* declared that Halloween Season begins on July 5th. Because the 4th of July is the last major holiday that stores put out decorations for.
      Therefore given that stores start selling stuff for the next holiday as soon as the last one is done. The Halloween Spooky Season *OFFICIALLY* begins on July 5th.

    Rachel, if you read this, I think you should follow the calendar of old. Fall starts September 1st, winter December 1st, spring March 1st, and summer June 1st. Which I think makes way more sense! You and I are akin in that while it might not yet feel like fall during the days. To those of us attuned to nature, we can feel the whisper of crispness in the morning and evening air. And you can just start to smell the promise of falling leaves, decay, and chilly air starting to pepper the day. It's the beginning of fall, and you can sense it if you know where to look.

    Fun Fact: The first day of Autumn is actually August 1! September 22 is the Autumn Equinox which is the middle of Autumn! And Samhain (Halloween) being on October 31 is the last day of Autumn -- the last of the harvest festivals, because Winter begins on November 1, (so that way Winter Solstice on December 21 is the middle of Winter). This means that February 1 is the first day of Spring (which is why Groundhogs Day is on Feb 2), Vernal Equinox is on March 22 -- the middle of Spring, and the first day of Summer is on May 1 (Beltane/May Day) with the middle of Summer being Summer Solstice being on June 21!

      That makes so much more sense! I always wondered why the "beginning of winter" was mid-December when winter had obviously begun long before that (same with summer). I also love the idea of celebrating the mid point of something; it helps you get over the hump if you're getting bored, and sidesteps the obsession our society has with beginnings and endings rather than celebrating the process.

    O.k., thanks for this video! I am an elementary school librarian who is planning our fall book fair in the coming months, and I was dismayed to find that Scholastic (the biggest, and oldest book fair vendor) no longer provides decorating themes (with clipart and other printable decor for free) for their book fairs like they used to do! Not that I always used their pre-chosen theme, but some of them were really fun, and now I have to think up everything for myself ... I was looking up different themes that I could realistically do at my school (making and putting up all the decor myself, and paying for it, too), and then realized that our fair is the third week of October. I.e., the week before Halloween! And then I see this video. Perfect! We will have a spooky, Halloween-y, "enchanted forest" theme! Or, whatever I can do with colored paper and put up on the walls ... But the kids *love* Halloween and spooky things, so they should love the vibe!

    My daughter now wants to be you when she grows up! Thanks for being a positive role model for how to be true to yourself and having fun doing it! When a girl is 13, it's great to show her that it's possible to just be the fun and creative person she wants to be. It's OK to ignore those people that are being "shiddy" (my new fave word).

    Honestly... I would be so emotionally attached to that 15 year old aluminum foil... I think it would be very hard for me to throw the cardboard box out... Especially on a mentally weak day! My favorite project was I think the jars, since I love little trinkets where I can put even more little trinkets in!! And... Frog bottoms!

    The way you relocated that spider with such grace and poise is something I aspire to. I'd have screamed and high key died if I saw it, but not done anything about it because spiders are important ecologically. ALL HAIL RACHEL THE SPIDER QUEEN!!!

    There’s a Mexican restaurant where I live with walls completely covered in beautiful ceramic frogs. I have three little boys who thought the hip joints on the hind legs of the frogs looked like a butt, and they made sure to mention it every time we went. My 4 year old couldn’t ever remember the name of the restaurant, so when he would try to tell us where he wanted to eat, he just started referring to it as Froggy Buns Place. 😂

    Okay, new obsession, I'm going to go thrifting and Halloween up a bunch of stuff. Thanks, Rachel. Also, I don't really plan on packing it away at the end of Spooky Season. I call my general style, Time Traveler Chaos Decor.

    First of all we start our Halloween stuff as soon as the fourth of July is over. Second I work at a thrift store and today we started putting out all the Halloween stuff. Third all of these projects turned out so very awwdorable. Loved the little frog. The clock was amazing as was your mini broom. And the terrarium was rather spookily cute.

    13:08 that is a dog show award. I am assuming those letters on the top are the name of the corgi club and select is what catagory it won. I only know this because my mother shows Chinese Cresteds and we get some weird and random things as prizes. I have several silver antique looking percolators/coffee carafes/pots.
    What a random thing to find at a thrift store. I love that you were able to recycle it.

    Where I live you can smell the cow manure from the county over once the fog starts lifting from the fields around this time. That _Screams_ Autumn to us. And after how hot it's been here, that first morning was like a spiritual awakening. I'm already baking pumpkin pies, making cinnamon cookies, and dreaming of all the wonderful things I can do once it gets below 100. Your little 'Halloween!' gremlin lives rent free in my brain
