My kitchen walls are covered with transfer-printed plates, some dating back to the 1820s. I finished hanging them right before my All Souls Procession Cocktail Party.
Plates.
I set up my altar Sunday morning. Matt bought me some marigolds and I got flowers from Trader Joe's. On the altar I placed photos of my deceased pets.
Cookies.

The guests began to arrive and Jeffrey helped me do my sugar skull makeup. I then helped other people.
Caleb and Andy.
Homer and Matt.
At 5:30 everyone assembled outside. Each person took some flowers to hand out on the way.
Guests.
I had a nice time, hanging with friends and watching the procession.
Matt, Hoffman, David, Paul, Caleb, Robert, and Birdy.
The thousands of people strolled by, many carrying signs or small altars.
Procession.
It was a lovely event.
