They're coming out of the Woodwork

I popped into town today to pick up a library hold and to my delight, I discovered many new skeletons.  Below is the Library's entry.  It took an effort to get it 20 feet in the air crawling up the gutter.

 Manitou Springs Real Estate has this fabulous realtor ready to present some lucky buyer with skeleton keys.   She maniacally laughs as she reaches for that bottle. In the background, you see a painting by Charles Rockey, our iconic local artist who unfortunately passed recently.

Green Horse Gallery has another winner with this offering.  If you remember in 2018, they did a tribute to Frida Kahlo.  This years American Gothic is a hoot.  That painting never looked more joyous.
La Henna Boheme has their Henna painted Skele dress up with a crow companion.
 Our neighbors Randy and Gwen have gone all out at the Whickerbill.  They have these cool cats enjoying a beverage and a smoke.
Plus this gal petting a cat.  Love that planter with the face and feet.
And hiding in the baby section, this skeleton who is minus an arm.
The Ten Spot  presents a diva, donning in her finest, enjoying a cuppa.  She enjoys a hearty laugh dressed in that warm coat. She knows that while today is sunny and 77, tomorrow will be snow and 30, with an overnight low of 14.
Last but never least, is the LeGrande Accents Boutique's swashbuckling she pirate.  She wears a fine black corset, thigh high boots and holding her hat high - my kinda gal. I found a perfect Creepmas gift for Baby M there, but that is a blog for another day.

    1. Manitou Springs is a town of old hippies, artists, and if you believe that lying sack of shit Ted Haggard, witches.

  5. I don’t envy you judging this year, but I guess there are worse things than having too many wonderful skeletons to choose from.
