Halloween


What?! Halloween is already over again?
 

Shortly before Halloween we had the first snow of the season.


White fluffy snow which had fortunately melted until Halloween.


Then it was finally time to light the candles.


I found a special treat in the mailbox right on Halloween -- these sweet toffee earrings! Jackie from Kydo Jewellery who designs jewelry together with her daughter Lara had kindly offered the earrings as prize in a giveaway. I was so excited to be the lucky winner -- and the earrings even arrived in time for Halloween. What perfect timing -- thanks Jackie!


Then it was time for carving my two pumpkins.


One smiling, one growling.


I also baked these cookies.


A treat for the brave.


Roasted pumpkin seeds.


Yours truly with her new purple witch hat.


I hope you had magical Halloween!
