This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending The Witches Ball in Mount Holly, NJ for the second year in a row with my husband Max. This event is now one of our much-anticipated Halloween traditions! The caliber of costumes that folks come out in rival what I have seen in Salem, MA or the NYC Halloween Parade. This year we brought a couple of cameras and a tripod, and were able to capture some fun – and scary!, be forewarned – photos of the event.

The building in the background is a delightful Christmas ornament shop called Spirit of Christmas. Max and I bought several ornaments there. The proprietress was very nice, and told us the building was built in 1775. It was so charming! (Click to enlarge.)A favorite historical costume.

Awesome photos!
Thanks, Holly! I enjoyed getting to visit Jersey Made during my trip to the Ball as well – it was full of wonderful handmade goodies!
