Just when you thought the Halowe’en festivities were over, her comes Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. But this holiday is not for being creepy or scary, despite the skeletons everywhere. It’s a Mexican holiday that combines All Saints Day and All Souls Day, and its origins go back thousands of years to an Aztec festival dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl. These Clay Skeleton Figures remind us of earthly pretensions while making us laugh at the same time.

This type of hat originated in Fez, Morocco. Red is the most common color, but they can also be black or white. My grandfather was a Shriner, so he had a really fancy Fez. This Red Fez comes straight from Egypt through Virtual Khan. The perfect finishing touch for that genie costume!

Today is Lost Penny Day. I knew someone who found a steel penny once, then promptly lost it, so this day reminds me of him. If he's lucky I'll get him this Steel Cents Collection, which were minted due to expectations of a copper shortage in 1943. Uncirculated.

Today is also Lincoln's Birthday, so these little guys are doing double duty.

Didn't I see this in "Men in Black" somewhere?

Great for Mardi Gras, too!
