Houses with small children often want October decor that stops short of gore. The print here is vintage-styled and friendly: a ghost wearing a witch hat, a pumpkin with a smile on it and bats in flight above a bold welcome. Double-stitched edges and a sturdy sleeve hold the shape through a month of wind on a lawn.
The ghost wears a witch hat, the pumpkin beside it is smiling and the bats overhead are drawn rather than modelled, which puts the whole flag on the friendly side of the holiday. A bold welcome runs across the design. Houses that get small trick-or-treaters can decorate the path without something at the front gate frightening a three year old.
Spun polyester is a heavier cloth than the thin printed flags, and it can go in the machine when mud splashes up from the lawn. Double-stitched edges stop the hem fraying where the wind works at it, and the sewn sleeve holds its shape after a wash. Weather-resistant fabric keeps the colors from going pale through a long October.
Nothing requires a garden flag to stay outdoors all season. Taped flat to a wall behind a snack table it becomes a small backdrop, and it fits the narrow panel beside an indoor doorway where a wide banner would not. Families who host the party inside and decorate the yard as well often use one flag indoors and keep a second on the stand.
A welcome message does a different job from a warning sign. This flag tells arriving guests the house is taking part rather than telling them to stay away, which suits a porch where neighbors, grandparents and children come up the same steps. It stays appropriate from the start of October to the first of November, then folds away for the following year.
Turkeys, pumpkins and fall leaves on plastic wide enough for the dining table, with a second cover for wherever the children eat.
Printed covers at 52 by 87 inches, two in the pack, that fit a standard eight-foot table and later tape to the wall as a photo backdrop.
