Christine

"Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat! If you don't, I don't care; I'll pull down my underwear."

Happy Halloween! Sometimes I look back at the ways my brother and I used to behave and I begin to understand why my mother was such an unmerciful tease. Come Halloween, she would suddenly morph into a zombie named Melodie at the most random moments (usually when we were on our worst behavior). With a blank look on her face, she would creep toward us chanting "Melodieeee" in a dark, evil voice. You'd think my brother and I would have been scarred for life, but instead, we filed away every tip and trick to pull off the most mischievous pranks.

In honor of Halloween, today's Etsy Finds highlight sweet treats and clever tricks.
