Today's post title means this: How are you, Halloween?  Feeling festive, or bogged down by seasonal allergies?  But if you remove the comma, then it means this: How do you do, that is, spend Halloween?  The rest of this post is my answer.

I have no new handmade accessories, but rather the best of Tote Trove spooky style. One thing is as new as last week; the rest I've had for years.  Here it is mixed with my mass-produced treasures on my church bench, decked out for All Saints-slash-All Souls Day:

And now on to my Out of Print "Fight Evil, Read Books" tee (which, yes, in the outfit pic looks like it says "boo" instead of "books" in the happy accident of my hand.  Just had to hog that hip, lefty, huh?).

When I saw this tee, I was like, Halloween as a force for good -- in the name of reading.  I love that!  I also love Out of Print's retro library card tags:  

The names make me wonder if these people are real and if so, are they still alive?  Take Bob Falcone. Maybe he had a fatal pumpkin carving accident since he checked out 101 Ways to Woo Your Cousin instead of How to Carve a Pumpkin.  What's he up to this Halloween?  Haunting a library?  Or surprising people, Psycho style, in the shower?

On that unsettling note, have a safe and happy Halloween.  Steer clear of razor blade Reese Cups.  

And Bob.
