Witcy Poos and Monster Man

It's almost Halloween!

My littlest goblins are already excited.

I made their "treat" bags yesterday with 

ideas I found on Pinterest. I think the 

Witch bags are soooo cute!

mo signs of fall

our local roadside market swung into fall this past week in preparation for halloween and thanksgiving. pumpkins and gourds, and cornstalks.....oh my! i love the earthy fall colors. it's so much fun watching everyone searching for the perfect pumpkin. gotta pick up some indian corn.
these pumpkins are called peanut pumpkins. i can see why.... those thingys do resemble peanut shells.
color me "smitten".....i want one of each!

and.....of course.....i had to make a trip inside the market first for a butter pecan ice cream cone to keep me company while i did some serious lookin' for MY perfect pumpkin. i know....i know.....a slip of the lip pads the hip.....but....it was worth it!
