Happy Halloween!

Souse

Want to make these deliciously easy Scare y Spiders? You just need four ingredients - Oreo's, M&M's, Black licorice, and Vanilla Icing (to use to glue on the eyes and legs). Then make, eat, and enjoy!

Spooky Halloween Decorations

We love that Halloween falls onto a Thursday next week. We know, most of you are scratching your head thinking that we are crazy. Let us explain… When Halloween falls into the middle of the week, it allows us to throw and/or attend more than one Halloween party - one this weekend and one next weekend!

And speaking of throwing a Halloween party, below is the inspiration we are using for this year’s bash. We absolutely love the Haunted House Cardboard Cut Outs and table signs.

We are also going to bring in some scary table/room decor curiosity of Pottery Barn.

Housewarming Gift for the Chef

Sometimes we receive calls to source/create a fun gift whether it be for a wedding, baby shower, holiday party, etc. Our latest inquiry was for a housewarming gift for a couple that loves to spend their time in the kitchen. Here are our top two picks that we shared with our client:

 A cookbook wrapped in a kitchen town and slotted spoon.

A oven mitt that is filled with various kitchen utensils.
