Trick or Treat Inspiration

I was so excited that I can now offer Outdoor pillow covers.  One of the first pillows I designed this fall was a Halloween outdoor pillow cover.

Here's a little music from It's The Great Pumpkin with Charlie Brown.

This pillow cover design all started with an illustration in watercolor that I did when my girls were little. It's called Trick or Treat on Etsy. I created the listing for a 16" pillow cover, but it is also available in 18" and 20" sizes too.

I designed this pillow using two different watercolor paintings and used my digital paintbox to create this fabric design.

A cute little witch sits on top of a pumpkin .  The words float over the design...

Trick or Treat

I put one of my front steps and one on my deck chair.  I think that these would look adorable on somebody's front porch.

This outdoor throw pillow cover made from weather-and fade-resistant fabric.  100% spun polyester poplin fabric, a soft and inviting compliment for any outdoor seating area.  Individually cut and sewn by hand in America.  This pillow measures 16" x 16" but it is also available in 18" and 20" sizes.  The design is on both sides and is finished with a concealed zipper for ease of care.

Pumpkins, I just love them.  Remember this little pumpkin last year?

Well look how he's grown.

All this talk about pumpkins has made me in the mood for pumpkin bread.  Well, that sounds like a plan.

Here's my favorite recipe from Wilson Farm.

Halloween

Welcome Pink Saturday Dearies, welcome Halloween Friends. Now watch your step as we pass by the hat shop on Delancy Street. I heard a story about a spider named Henrietta, who once lived in that very hat shop. She was sitting on top of a hat on Halloween, when all of a sudden a customer purchased the hat to go to a Halloween extravaganza over at a place called A Fanciful Twist...






nce upon a time on Halloween's Eve...


Henrietta Spider sat down beside her,






and stepped up onto the hat embellished for Halloween,




She sat in the window on display, looking stylish but hardly wanted to be seen.



She dreamed instead of celebrating the holiday wearing something dreamy, preferably in aquamarine!



Later that day a customer bought the hat and dashed away feathers, spiders and all,




When Henrietta got to her home, she read the invite and learned they were going to a ball.



Henrietta sighed she needed to look amazing, and she didn’t have time to go to the mall,




So, she jumped down from the hat and began to spin the dreamiest aquamarine shawl.



When it was done she fixed her hair, draped her new shawl and sat down beside her,



and stepped up onto the hat embellished for Halloween.



Everyone was excited to go to the party and have their costumes seen,





Well, we must all join Henrietta Spider and rush to meet all the guests that she just could not resist,

We are all invited to meet Miss Vanessa at A Hauntingly Magical Celebration at a Fanciful Twist.



The song for this post is Disneyland Halloween. Pink Saturday Guests can also usher to the right and visit Miss Beverly at How Sweet The Sound. The Halloween black embellishments from the amazing Rhonna Farrer. Thank you to my daughter Sarah for posing with this lovely Halloween Bonnet and Miss Henrietta Spider.

Thank you Vanessa for hosting such a fun annual event. Thank you Beverly for never disappointing us and creating a weekly Pink day for us all to enjoy.

Have a Happy Halloween!

Wishing you a fun Halloween with very few tricks but lots and lots of treats!!



This has been a wonderful month of Halloween fun.

Except that is, for one sad Halloween story. Poor Mr. Ghosty has been with us for years. I bought him when the girls were little and we lived in Hong Kong. The American school had a Halloween event and shipped in the cutest decorations. Well, we had a blustery night one evening...the wind began to howl and in the morning he was gone. We searched the neighborhood, but no Mr. Ghosty. So, if you see him flying by, please tell him to come home.




More good things did happen this Halloween, there was The Sweet and Sinister Swap, hosted by Kari of Artsy Mama, and my partner Carla sending all the wonderful goodies that arrived in the mail.

Well, we all remember Miss Vanessa's party over at A Fanciful Twist. But I thought that if you would like to visit a Halloween party today then just click on the Karen witch on the sidebar or...

My decorations are all set, and the candy is in the basket waiting for the little trick or treaters.



Wishing you a safe and Happy Halloween. The song for this post is I Put A Spell On You from my favorite Halloween movie, Hocus Pocus. Miss M sings this fun song.
