I’ll get shoe, my pretty!!
Blogged under Current Sales and Offers, Furniture and Home Decor, Halloween by Diane Porter on Wednesday 8 October 2008

There’s plenty going on in The Wizard of Oz, with all its plots, subplots, flying monkeys, forces of good and evil, small yappy dogs. But we choose to focus on the shoes. Not the ruby red slippers - they’ve already had their day in the sun. We’re obsessing about the Wicked Witch of the West’s footwear, and how they seem to have struck a few marketing deals of their own.

  

Like this candy dish from Sur la table, all sweet and full of treats ($15). Set it by the front door on Halloween night, and watch those trick-or-treaters’ eyes open wide.

Send your little goblins out into the night with Current catalog’s imaginative treat bags (above), shaped like witches’ boots with wild heels in multiple colors (6 sacks, $7). After they come back all sticky and sweet, just hand them these hand towels that certify the Witch Is In (and she likes purple, $3, above right).

 

Zazzle, the wacky Web site where you can get just about anything printed, has always had a bit of an attitude. Take their cook’s apron with witches’ boots and “If The Shoe Fits . . . ” embroidered on the front ($25). Café Press, another site that wears its attitude on its sleeve, prints the same image on campaign-style buttons, inexpensive enough to pass out to all your favorite, uh, witches (10 pins, $19, above left).

Witches’ boots have never been as colorful as they are on Angel Custom Creations’ party invitations ($1.35 ea) or as elaborate as they are in Treetop Studios’ votive holder.  If you’ve got tapers to burn, let them shimmer from LinMar Treasures’ regular candle holders ($4.50, above right). And when you serve dessert, be sure to do it on an exquisite Krinkles cake plate from Madison Avenue Gifts or Amazon.com ($85, above). All decked out in black, purple, green and polka dots, it turns the cake into a party by itself.

With shoes like that, it’s hard to tell the good witches from the bad.
