A NOD TO HALLOWEEN


Can you believe October is soon to be over?
It seems like I write about waiting for my favorite month to arrive,
when I find myself writing about Thanksgiving in the blink of an eye.


This is the first year in ages that I did not
create a tablescape for Halloween or a whimsical
Halloween mantel. 
But, I did create one little area in our kitchen
to remind us of a favorite holiday...HALLOWEEN!


I came across this adorable little witch and just had to add
her to my collection...she is SO cute....beautifully made
and she looks friendly, doesn't she?


Oh we had such wonderful Halloween's as children....
it was just a magical fun-filled night with the entire
neighborhood aglow with lights and everyone
out trick or treating with hundreds of Jack O Lanterns!


I am making devil's food cupcakes for the darling and me...


I keep my decorations cute and whimsical for all the little ones...
never scary....


My neighbors teenage son decorated their home
for Halloween and he did an excellent job!


We always look forward to the children and their costumes....
they are always so darn adorable!


I am also making an Italian Sausage Soup
with homemade Dill Bread....perfect for our final October evening.


All the treats are ready.....
I hope it turns out to be a wonderful evening
of fun.....we love it all!

    It always so festive at your house!
    Does your kitty hide when your doorbell rings? Our Koteboy, who looks very similar to Mae Mobley is such a scaredy cat. He runs and hides every. single. time.

    Betsy, I like you bit of Halloween décor. I don't like scary stuff at all. I hate when people scare little kids...it's too mean. I hope you get some sweet goblins. I miss the good old days of Halloween. Gentler. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

    Ohhhhh, love it ALL, Betsy. But that rug is, well, the cat's meow!!! Sooooo darn cute. October is pretty special around here...my birthday, hubby's birthday, and we were married on Halloween. Yep, eloped and got hitched in New Orleans back in 1981. Scary that it's been that loooooong ago. HA!


    Thanks for this post....and all the ones you do. I enjoy them.







    Loved this post. Thanks!

    I am not a fan of spooky/scary halloween. But I do love seeing all the kiddies in their cute costumes.
