Happy Halloween!
If memory serves, I bought this card at JJ’s Hallmark on King Street in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. (It’s now Anthropologie.) I was probably feeling a bit wistful as I browsed, reflecting that Halloween was coming and I likely wouldn’t have anything to do (again). This simple card delighted me, so I bought it, just to have. Thus was my little tradition begun. I now have hundreds of cards, picked up a few at a time each year. And while none ever struck quite the same chord, they’ve given me great pleasure, and helped keep the magic alive.
