Happy Weekend!

I'm so glad it's the weekend already - what a busy week.  Thursday felt like Friday.  Oh well, time to get out your Halloween costumes and polish those vampire fangs.  I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend planned, but mostly, I hope no one goes into a sugar comma!  I shall leave you, and the month of October, with a few pictures of my own place decorated for Halloween a few years ago.  We won first place in the door decorating contest for our apartment which meant lots of dinero off of the next month's rent - yippee!

Happy Weekend!

Witch & Cat Pumpkins

Martha Stewart is always a great go-to for party ideas, recipes & crafts, and Halloween is no exception.  I absolutely love the pasta skeletons.  And why stop at skeletons?  I'm sure kids would love making pumpkins & ghosts with pasta as well.  Throw in a few stickers & markers and the kids will go crazy for this craft project.  The Candied Out Pumpkins are also adorable, guarding their candy jars from the occasional candy seeker.  All you need is a pumpkin, some glue and candy to deck out your candy table and make it the most festive party on the block.  Kids and parents alike will admire your creativity and you can say, "Oh, those pumpkins? We do those every year."  Happy Halloween!

A Vintage Halloween by Country Living

I am loving these ideas from Country Living, especially the pumpkin toss game 

& candy corn stand filled with candy.  Halloween is such a fun time of year so I hope your 

parties & costumes are coming together and you have a fun weekend planned!

Last Minute Halloween Ideas

from the Hostess with the Mostess

Here are some great ideas for the adult party-goers who enjoy Halloween just as much as the next kid.  I love the purple cake with the writing "Love at First Bite".  And her modern take on Halloween in the fourth picture is too awesome for words.  What do you think?

Paris versus New York

 

I absolutely love these illustrations by Vahram Muratyan, especially the godard/woody one.  It's such a great way to honor both city's differences & likenesses.
