Easy Halloween Treat and Happiness Is Homemade

Easy Halloween Treat and Happiness Is Homemade

Happy Almost Halloween. What a fun month and we are more than ready Halloween. This week a little reflection on the fact it is 451 parties, holy moly. Interesting fact, when this link up first started, they had guest hosts selected from among those who linked up.

I was not one of the original hosts but rather a "linkee" who got selected several months in a row to guest hots. That was my first experience with Blog parties. Fast forward and here I am years later still loving it.

So shameless plug, we are a great bunch to party with if you want to join our little hosting group.

If you are looking for an easy treat for Halloween, check out these ghost treats.

You're The Star - Home Feature Week

You're The Star - Home Feature Week

Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was awesome. Ours was so beautiful. The weather was absolutely lovely. Around 83 degrees and little humidity. I love this time of year. 

I know that the weather was delightful up north as well. My son said it was 73 degrees in Vermont. Is that considered Indian summer? 

Well, what ever your weather, I hope you have a great week.

Celebration of Fall

This week, I really wanted to return back to all things Fall, but y'all are killing me with all the fun Halloween crafts and ideas. Such great Halloween food, sips, and fun.

First up is the cutest Spooky Halloween Tablescape from The Painted Apron. This fun table was titled Slightly Spooky but I think its is more a whimsical fun Halloween table. Plus she led me to a fun tablescape bloghop. How cool is that.

Halloween Wreath

Next up from The House on Silverado is A Halloween Wreath.  This easy DIY method for how to make a Halloween deco mesh wreath is a fun Halloween craft and Halloween decor all at the same time!

Dinner with Mummies

How fun is this snack for Halloween. The Magical Ingredients is sharing Samosa Mummies. These are delicious samosa mummies that are appetizers for Halloween parties. These can be made easily using ready to use crescent roll dough. ( She also shared Zombie Intestines that look so fun as well)

And to wrap up the week, how about these cute Halloween Pinwheel Cookies from Drug Store Divas. It’s all treats, no tricks when it comes to these Halloween Pinwheel Cookies.

These swirl-shaped Halloween cookies are stunning. They look just like store-bought cookies from a high-end bakery. But they’re not. These Halloween cookies made in your home kitchen … all from ingredients you already have at home.

Happy Thursday. Thank you for all of your well wishes. I am finally doing better. It has taken a lot longer than it ever did before. The vertigo just wants to stay around. I spent 10 days at home before I finally felt better. It was a doozy!

I was not able to get to Vermont for fall foliage so my son sent pictures for us to enjoy. I wanted to share them with you.

Vermont Fall Foliage and Wonderful Wednesday Party

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

Welcome Friends. I am so glad you stopped by. I love this time of year with all of the fall decorating ideas being posted. We are actually have fall weather here in central Florida - low in the mid 50's. I am so excited. 

Fall means cooler weather, mums, pumpkins and of course beautiful trees. Since we didn't get to Vermont for fall foliage because of Ian, my son sent some fall foliage pictures and I thought I would share them with you so you too can enjoy fall foliage in Vermont.

In case you have never made it to Vermont for fall foliage, I thought I would send some pictures for you to enjoy.  The first three photos are at my son's home in Vermont.  How nice to be able to see such color out your window.

This would be looking out at the back, right of the house.

Monday and Time for You're The Star Party

Monday and You're The Star Party

Happy Monday and welcome to the party. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was good, although I am still dealing with my vertigo. It just doesn't want to go away.  

The weather has been so nice and I was able to put down some mulch in the beds I cleaned last week. 
I also, started to work on sanding some wood for a picnic table that my BIL gave me. I had to stop often and rest. 

Have a fabulous week ahead.

Happy Thursday. I hope your week is going well. Mine is good, although I have had another vertigo attack. I really hate these. You can't do much, especially reading and being on the computer. Hopefully, after 4 days, it will be better today. 

Despite the vertigo, I am participating in an Autumn Tray tour. 
I hope you can stop by and maybe find some inspiration.

Autumn Tray and Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

Welcome Friends. I am so glad you stopped by. I love this time of year with all of the fall decorating ideas being posted. There are also fall blog tours and Autumn Tray tours for you to check out. 

I am participating in the Autumn Tray Tour with many other bloggers. I hope you can stop by and see some of the amazing decorated trays being shared.

I am sharing my tray that is made up of things I had and items from the Dollar Tree.


On to the party!

Creating an Autumn Tray with Dollar Tree Items

Creating an Autumn Tray with Dollar Tree Items

With fall here, there are so many items that can be used to create an autumn tray for your home. Sometimes these items can come from things you already have, from your yard, from the Dollar Tree or a combination of these. My Autumn tray is a combination. 

If you are coming over from The Antiqued Journey, thank you.

I am so happy to be joining Katherine, from Katherine’s Corner for a delightful event, an, “Autumn on a tray tour”.

We have so many wonderful bloggers that are participating. 
 They have all created beautiful inspirations for adding seasonal charm to your home. Please click over to the next blog on the tour, and keep clicking through the tour. Please pin and leave comments, we all love them!


For my Autumn tray, I found this light up pumpkin at the Dollar Tree. I thought it would be great for Halloween, but then realized that I wanted this tray to stay out all fall. That meant it had to change a little.

Autumn Tray with Dollar Tree items. Share NOW. #falltray #autumntray #falldecor #eclecticredbarn

First off, I removed the black netting. It was still not right. The stem was black. 

Autumn Tray with Dollar Tree items. Share NOW. #falltray #autumntray #falldecor #eclecticredbarn

So I decided to wrap twine around the stem to fit in with the rest of my tray.

I found the ribbon at the Dollar Tree and made a couple of bows.

I had bought the pumpkin and leaf sprig at Hobby Lobby on sale. I already had the metal acorns, but you could use real ones or store bought ones. You could also use small pine cones.

I found the burlap leaves at the the Dollar Tree.

I also had the red and yellow leaf candles and some berries to put in the center. 

I am sure you can find similar items to create a tray of your own. The great thing about fall, is that you will find so many great items that you can use to create your own Autumn tray. 

Please click over to My Home for All Seasons, to continue the tour. Thank you!
