Description
Midnight in the old churchyard, and three little ghosts are having a terrible time with a paintbrush. The first insists the letters should be orange. The second prefers purple. The third has dipped his whole sheet in the pot by accident and is now dripping happily all over the gravestones. By the time the owl hoots three o’clock, the sign is finished, wobbly and lopsided and absolutely perfect, and all three ghosts are very proud of their work.
This Limoges Diffusion scene brings a grin to the spookiest night of the year. It is a fun gift for a Halloween enthusiast, an art teacher, a family that decorates the whole porch, or a collector who brings out seasonal boxes every October. Set it on a mantel among small pumpkins, on a party buffet beside the candy bowl, or on a child’s bookshelf next to a favorite not-too-scary storybook.
