Happy Halloween!

—

   Happy, Happy Halloween——-

  The most spooky, thrilling, gorgeous time of the year is upon us! The leaves are changing, the winds are cooling, and things are just a little bit creepy and going bump in the night 🙂

It’s also a time of festivities and celebration— my favorite time of year in color in mood; we got married in late October (oh, our 12th anniversary is tomorrow!) Lately I’ve been finding myself taking a moment and looking at sights I see almost daily, but with a lovely autumn glow they are something to appreciate; the kitty sitting on the stone steps….the sun coming through the ash tree….even the wind seems to blow with a little more interest when it’s Halloween…

On this bright, spooky, halloween— I wish you more tricks than treats, time to read a thrilling tale, to be with family, hold a little hand in pursuit of sweet things, and an especially rattling, leaf strewn wind to guide your way….

Happy HALLOWEEN!~!~!

    Such beautiful Halloween-pictures. You have such a fantastic sense for style Heather, you really know how to create an atmosphere. And as for my dolls house- I bought it from my neighbour who is a collector of antique toys- she even has toys displayed in the Stockholm Toy Museum. The dolls house didn´t come cheap, so we have made a payment plan where I pay her a very little sum of money each month for three years 🙂
