A Sneak Peak at Our Sneaky New Friend...

This is James.  He is named after a former guest who left his jeans here on accident.  Here are James' jeans on our new friend, James the scarecrow.

James is made out of recycled paper, leaves, recycled jeans, and a recycled pj shirt that I got out of one of my sisters' many goodwill bags.  His head is a trick-or-treat pale, and his hat belongs to John next door.

James has already frightened a few guests.  Last night at a cd release party at the hostel, one of the musicians walked by him and was startled.  Then he began to introduce himself to James, only to realize that James doesn't talk...

He is keeping the critters out of our garden and adding a harvest-y feel to our hostel.

More to come on events for Halloween... including a Fall Fest, pumpkin carving party, and Halloween night extravaganzas.  The hostel is celebrating the seasons well!
