Milford Shop Offers Halloween Decorations That are Festive, Not Frightening
Milford, NH – Though for some people, Halloween is a time to break out the fake blood and zombie makeup and try to scare the neighbors, for Karen Walker, Halloween is the time to celebrate the innocence of childhood and each fall she fills her shop with décor that’s festive, but not frightening.
“The world is scary enough these days. I don’t see any reason to make it scarier,” said Walker, owner of Karen’s Kollectibles, a home décor and gift shop on the Milford Oval.
When the weather starts to cool, Walker begins to stock her shop with rustic, primitive pieces that bring her back to a Halloween where children in homemade costumes would go door to door in their own neighborhoods chanting “trick-or-treat” and maybe an occasional “boo!”
