Spirit Of Halloween MADE Me Do It!
I recently saw a funny saying on Instagram that said something to the effect of “Buy the stuff that makes YOUR estate sale INTERESTING!” Well, MY estate sale will have people going WTH!??! (I want you to take notice that I cleaned up my WT!!) I want people to point and shake their heads speechless. I ALSO want to be a ghost standing next to them just laughing my a*@ off. THANK YOU, Spirit Of Halloween.
So, some of you may know about Mority.
It’s been established that I have a few screws loose. I, at times, may have a slightly odd sense of humor…. so with that in mind back in 2005 Mority entered my life. While I was at work The Husband bought me a surprise because Halloween is my favorite holiday! I love decorating, I love dressing up, I love the trick or treaters, I love it ALL!!! I came home to a “Candy Butler” He stands 3 and a half feet tall. He can be set to motion activated so his eyes light up and he talks. HE IS AWESOME!!! I named him Mority. I had so much fun with Mority that after Halloween I told DH I didn’t want to put him away to which DH responded “Well, what are you going to do? Stick a turkey on his head and call him a turkey butler?” WHY DO PEOPLE PUT THESE IDEAS IN MY HEAD?!?!?!
Since adding Mority to the family I’ve always thought I want a full size mannequin. I NEED a full size mannequin. I can NOT afford a full size mannequin. Last weeks trip to the Goodwill made my little heart flutter. I CAN afford a $5.00 child size mannequin. I’ve named him Little Bobby. I post the picture on Instagram of Little Bobby. The Husband said “I’m shocked you came home without him”. The look on my face clearly said “Ohhhhhhhhh honey…. don’t be shocked”. The Husband “He’s downstairs in the craftroom isn’t he??” Now, I must shop for Little Bobby, standing 50″ tall he wears a 6 or 8 in toddler clothes. He WILL be decked out for Halloween ASAP!! I have the PERFECT costume for him!!
Thank you Spirit Of Halloween For Helping MY ESTATE
HELP ME NAME HIM!!!!!!!!! I’m leaning towards Henry? Franklin? Abner? Should I leave it as John Doe?
Thanks to Kate I want to present to you. WINSTON!!!!
John Doe is 5’3″ and now I HAVE A FAMILY!!!! Of Dummies. I still need a wig and a mustache. I found the Prince Purple Rain outfit on TV Store On Line. Search for “Music Singer Purple Cosplay. It’s listed for $0 just pay shipping. It’s amazing quality. John Doe is wearing a size small. Once he gets a wig he will start popping up throughout the house. I’m thinking under the covers in the guestroom. Wanna come visit??
What Halloween costume should John Doe sport??
STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!!! I get that look from my children.
Seriously, how amazing will my estate sale be in another 30 or 40 years!?!?

I’m glad you get such joy out of all of this. Me? No way they’d be in my house.
My vote is for Dexter. That is one creepy dude.
Connie: The Head Peanut
ROFLMAO you will love this…. I sent a picture to my son Zachary for a reaction which is one of my greatest joys. He won’t acknowledge (Winston?) sooooo for the last week (with no end in sight) I send him a picture and a “Winston, says hi” “Winston sends his love” It’s like the kid doesn’t even KNOW me!! I can do this FOREVER!!
Susan Smith
I enjoy Halloween decorations. I like the name Dexter that a reader suggested.
Terra L Heck

I wouldn’t want to visit your house 🙂 Life size dolls/figurines creep me out!
Connie: The Head Peanut
But most of the house is semi-sorta-a-little bit normal. Sorta! LOL!
Kate Sarsfield
He/it’s 5’3″????? Life-size? I’m not going to say what I think other than he reminds me of a rather creepy Methodist minister we had as kids. Name of Winston.
Connie: The Head Peanut
OH WINSTON!! That’s a GREAT NAME!!!!!!! Ohhhhh Dexter, John Doe have serious competition now. Winston. Cause he is creepy! Ohhhh
Michele Soyer
Connie you make me smile – what a great personality you have! Creative too..I would love to see your home at Halloween.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I would love for you to see it. I don’t know why I decorate except it makes me happy. We are so far out of the way we get NO visitors. ROFLMAO! I guess just cause it makes me laugh. (MAYBE a little that it makes The Husband roll his eyes!)
Karen R
I would not spend the night alone at your house. I can’t think of a good name for him. What about Dexter?
Connie: The Head Peanut
OHHHHHMMMMMGEEEEE KAREN!! Dexter might just be THE perfect name!! (I promise most of my house isn’t too awful. ROFLMAO)

All ready posted on this 8/31 I think it is a start of a great collection
Tamra Phelps
That new little guy would make a great Children of the Corn spook!! He looks just like them. Maybe make his hair even blonder.
Connie: The Head Peanut
LOL!
heather
You are so talented these are really great. I gotta admit though that some of these would freak me out too much to have in the house at night after watching something scary on television.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I do love Halloween!
Tamra Phelps
Okay, the expression on his face–it just reminds me of Forrest Gump, lol. How about something with a Halloween twist, like ‘Foulest Gump.’ You can think of something better, I know!!
gloria patterson
I think it is great that you have the room and the mind set for all of your new family 🙂 members.
WHY not you like doing and it makes you happy.
My mother has a vintage doll (look like a 6-8 month baby) with its own rocker. That doll has more clothes then any real baby. She buys the clothes at Goodwill and other discount places. Great niece (5) has been playing with the doll since she almost 2. She goes thru the clothes ever visit and picks out what they need to dress Sweet Pea in that day.

I LOVE things like that! I have my Moms baby Doll that if you wind her up her heart ticks. My Grandpa bought it for her at Goodwill sometime around 1938 so I have no idea how old she is. She sits above my craftroom cupboards.
