As promised, here are some photos from last Friday night’s Green Halloween NYC kick-off party at OpenHouse Gallery.

Check out the amazing food… er, edible art… er, decor by Flavor Palette (sorry – no URL available).

The living and natural decor from grass “tablecloths” to vine (and bicycle wheel) chandeliers…

The stunning performances…

And , of course, incredible costumes (no one does it quite like New Yorkers!)

For more photos, info on the event and the people behind it, check out this article on BizBash.

We’re BIG fans of www.HolidayLEDs.com and of their lovely lights that save tons of energy (using 90% less than conventional lights) and don’t burn hot (so they’re safer to use around little ones, not to mention yards and homes).

We’ve recently added some of their cool purple, orange and green Halloween lights to our new marketplace and now you can grab some at a sweetly discounted rate. (But only through 10/5, so you’d better hurry!)

We adore people who make ingenious use of items that would normally be tossed. But when the “new” items being made have Halloween themes, our adoration is upgraded to LOVE.
