HALLOWEEN: somewhere over the rainbow...

For the second time in my life, I went to a Halloween party...


Come with me (yes... it's me!) at our friends' place!


But what's that in the garden...????


Quite scary, isn't it?


Not really friendly those pumkins....


Look at that frightening cimetery....


Hey, cute scarecrow, do you want to go to the party with me?


You will be able to protect me from some disgusting things...!!!!


We will follow the yellow briks road.... and we will meet a lot of strange people...


The Corpse Bride...


Some bloody zombies...


The worst handymen ever...


A part of the Adams Familly...


A strange bat eyes guy...


You will see my scarecrow, it will be fun and you will perhaps find a new brain!!!!


Those sandwiches doesn't seem to be so fresh...


Quite scary atmosphere inside....


but fun!!!!


What a nice Halloween decoration!


I present to you my dog TOTO!!! A vintage pupet from the 50's.


So much nice things to eat!


Do you like this new beverage????


Why are there eyes and earthworms in my pumpkins soup?


Some details of my outfit...


Those 30's red cuties are my ruby shoes....


My dress is vintage from the 50's, as Toto's basket and of course it's not my real hair!!!


Do you have fun my scarecrow? But what are you doing?


What are you looking to?


Flying lanterns to finish this scary evening in style!!!!

Did you celebrate Halloween where you live?
What was your costume, was it vintage inspired?

WWII museum and a FROZEN flea market

Sunday was a really freezing day... but nothing to stop us from going to a good flea market!!!!


-2°C every stuff were quite... frozen...!!!!


Everybody found something...


Sylvie found some 50's ceramics, her husband some nice 50's Xmas ornements, Sylvain a coca-cola ads and some 50's kitchen curtains for me.


My vintage furs were out for the first time this year...


On the afternoon, we drove our '59 Cadillac...


Sylvain had the bad idea to disconnect the heater some weeks ago....


But Sylvie kept her smile!!!


But where did we chose to go?


To the Hackenberg fortress, vestige from the WWII.


It's a part of the Maginot Line.


More than 10 kms of underground galeries... with a small train!


The Hackenberg was one of the biggest fortress of the WWII.


There is a museum inside with weapons, uniforms, old news paper...


You had probably noticed my amazing 40's hat...


This fortress was really modern at that time more then all Parisian palaces from the 40's...


More than 1500 soldiers lived inside but no woman!!!


There even had a hospital inside the underground fortress!


I was really amazed to see this gas mask and childs equipements!!!


Inside the underground train.... 12°C inside, more than outside...


I was surprise to share this guided tour with people from the USA and even Australia, I tought that only local people know about this place... 



We also went out of a bunker to see a turret works.


When it comes to kill each others, human brains have no limit....


You can see behind Sylvain the damages that Gal Paton's army caused to free this fortress from german....


6 years was needed to built all these galeries and something like some billions of our modern euros!!!!


The visit was really interested...


And it was time to bring our friends to the airport to send them back home... but we will see each other next march in VLV!


Have your vintage furs already been out?
Have you ever heard about Hackenberg fortress?
