Everybody seems to be blogging about Halloween at the moment...it is of course just around the corner. The variety shops (or $2 shops as we fondly refer to them as) are filled with decorations and costumes galore and the craft world is buzzing with ideas. Now that the girls are older we don't really celebrate Halloween, it actually falls around the same day as my Birthday so we are usually otherwise occupied...BUT if I did I think I'd be "just like Martha..."
Loving this to 'welcome' guests....
I bet this looks fantastic in dim light...
Roses anyone???
If I was 'entertaining' over Halloween what better way to serve dessert.....
Black lollies a MUST at the Halloween table...yum I LOVE black licorice and balck jelly beans.

Perhaps these little 'mummies' could be the take home treat..simple chocolates wrapped in white crepe paper with goggly eyes (sometimes its the easy ideas that have the most impact)
So how are YOU celebrating Halloween???
We don't bother with Halloween - as we live in the middle of nowhere, we don't get children at the door 'guising' (our version of trick or treat).

Never been a fan of licorice but love the 'Chocolate mummies' you are right its so simple! My only worry is that i will probably end up eating more bars than get wraped up.
