Halloween Decor & a Pumpkin Carving Party

Halloween is just around the corner and though we might be celebrating in smaller ways this year, a small gathering, a few decorations, and some fun snacks will still bring the Halloween fun!

I don't usually go all out for Halloween, but my daughter decided she wanted to host a pumpkin carving party, so it was the perfect excuse to do some decorating, make some fun treats and entertain for the evening!

For some fun decorations I purchased these 3-D bats from Amazon (LINK) and used double sided tape (LINK) to attach to the fireplace.  The bats swooping out of the fireplace and away they go!

The Sunday Letter

Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.

If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
