Halloween is over — clear the seasonal words

Doshe Journal

Seasonal titles and banners earn their keep for a week. After that they read as a shop that left the party and forgot the lights on.

Tonight I go through every listing that borrowed Halloween language — candy, haunt, spooky — and put the object back in plain words. The piece can stay. The costume on the copy goes. Photos that only worked with orange props get a daylight retake when I can.

Buyers on Doshe in November are looking for something to live with, not a date that already ended. Match the calendar. Keep the craft.
