Love this post!! 😀 The vintage Halloween photos are so awesome to see! Happy Halloween, Liz! Thanks for sharing these with us!
I’m so glad you liked them 🙂 Happy Halloween!
Great photos in this part and the previous one. Seeing the lady dressed up as Molson instantly made me want a bottle of it. It’s one of my most favourite beers but virtually impossible to buy in the UK. Grrr! xx
Thank you Cate! Molson is your favorite, that is pretty awesome that a Canadian beer is your fav. Next time I’m the UK I will see if the duty free has them (they are super cheap here to buy).
