( spooky loveliness )

It's nearly Halloween... yay! I get so excited about Halloween. I'm not sure if it's because Halloween always makes me feel really autumny and cozy, or because I can dress up in a ridiculous costume :)
Anyway, I'm excited all the same. Instead of offering tips on how to create that perfect spooky Halloween window display, I thought I would post some lovely images that I think are spooky, yet beautiful. I find a lot of old, run-down interiors and architecture, have that magical hypnotic elegance about them which is perfectly fitting for this time of year. Here are some of my favourite examples. Happy Halloween :)
