My friend, Chris, has an unbelievable collection of the Day of the Dead figures and other Halloween trinkets.  Collections of such items tend to be dull and commercialized.  Yet, she manages to pick beautiful pieces and she creates quite a seasonal mood.  

You should see her Christmas and Easter collections. 

She has collected items from her travels and of course, she is easy to shop for.....

 The guests...

 the Devil his advocate with an intruder...

So hard to get a picture of this flamenco lady.  I would have liked to move her, but we live in earthquake country and she has it fixed down. 

till next year, I wonder what she will find and add to the collection.  In the wrong hands, this kind of Holiday decorating could be all wrong.  

(the pictures here are only of about 25% of the collection)
