3 Comments

“Boo bag” inspiration is on the menu today!  But this time with adults in mind!  If you enjoy the tradition of Halloween “booing” you know how much fun the kiddos have receiving a whimsical gift full of holiday goodies left on the doorstep.  I’m guessing grownups will love it too!  So today I’ve pulled together a fun gift idea that you could use to “boo” your friends or present as a hostess gift.  This sweet (or should I say savory) idea is super easy to create too.  Just a couple frightful details will take a simple gift idea to spooktacular!  October is just days away…so let’s start thinking about “boo bag” fun!

boo!  wine & cheese style!

If you’re hosting a spooky soiree…you might be thinking of Halloween party favor ideas!  And if you’re going to be attending one…you might need a hostess gift!  I love packaging up little party favors and thank-you gifts for party-goers or for hosts!  It really can be an easy thing to do…and it never has to be extravagant.  When giving a gift, that age-old saying still holds true:  it’s the thought that counts!  But what’s also true is that we can easily make those “thoughts” look extra cute too!  Since Halloween is just a few short days away and the upcoming weekend might hold plenty of ghoulish gatherings…I have several really easy party favor & gift ideas that you can whip up even last minute!  It’s more fun to treat than trick…so let’s hand out some happy!

frightfully fun halloween party favors!

Shop Time!

Happy Friday everyone!  This has certainly been a busy week for me and I’m glad to see the weekend finally arrive!  I played a little blogging hooky on Wednesday to make room for several opportunities and obligations…and I have to admit, some free time!  We all need that every now and again!  But even though the week was an extraordinarily busy one, every second of what occupied it was worth it!  One of my favorite “jobs” of the week was helping at my favorite shop…Alice-Louise Press!  It was time to dress the windows and “spooky” up the place in preparations for all the October fun!  Last year the shop had barely opened it’s doors before Halloween was almost over…so we weren’t going to let the whimsical holiday pass us by without stepping it up a notch!  Decorating for holidays is fun no matter where you do it…at home, in the classroom, or in a shop!  So if you’re feeling in the mood for some Halloween inspiration, you need a unique gift, or you want jaw dropping invitations (for a spooky event possibly?)…stop in and see what’s new in the letterpress studio!  And if you’re not in the Toledo/Perrysburg area, check out the link to see all the goodies this wonderful shop offers!  Today I’ll share a peek at the Halloween fun…

even a shop can play dress up!

Spooktacular Favorites

It’s no secret that I LOVE fall…especially Halloween!  I can’t help but start swirling ideas around in my head as early as late August and begin searching out wonderful inspiration for decorating and party possibilities!  Not wanting to waste the last days of summer consumed with the seasons to come, I do try and refrain from moving ahead too quickly–but sometimes that’s a hard little thing to do!  I don’t really want to jump the gun on another holiday–but since these great goodies I found at Home Goods may not be around very long…I feel the need to share sooner than later!  You know the deal at store like these–if you see something you love you’d better pounce!  If you wait to think about it…you’re little discovery may sadly be long gone.  On one of my regular trips to this favorite store of mine, I unintentionally discovered some Halloween treats that I just had to have.  And in my searching, came home with not only my goodies but tons of inspiration for the autumn season!  Have a peek at some holiday favorites…and then, maybe plan a trip to the store!

splendid, spooky supplies…
