FESTIVAL OF THE WEEK

hoot hoot


have you noticed it? This year Halloween seems to have taken full force in the stores - as if they've just realised this is a brilliant marketing opportunity. All Hallows Eve - as it's been known since the 16th  century - is not a bad holiday to co opt - especially from a crafting point of view. Lets face it, there are costumes, pumpkin carving, and trick or treat bags to make. I picked up my Kent pumpkin to carve this morning at the market and bought too darling little birdies from Cottage Industry to spook up the front door (more on that project tomorrow!)


Of course I've been on board the Halloween spook train for years thanks to my much derided Martha obsession - you want proof - here's a link to a post this time a couple of years ago - lets hope I have better luck this time!

Ramona I forgot to tell you that they have the big proper american style pumpkins en masse ready for carving at Toscano's in Victorian gardens - they look MUCH easier to carve than the crotchety old kent.

ah that would be Victoria Gardens not victorian gardens - you'll be hunting for days with the above advice, YIKES!!
