Hallowe'en In The Kitchen

 It's officially fall!!  While we are still having sunny days....the overnight temperatures are dipping low!  If you have a few minutes....pour a cup of your favourite hot beverage & join me in the kitchen & enjoy a bit of Hallowe'en fun.......a couple of dish towels are hung on the freezer drawer handle....

I'm still crushing on the witch & ghost dancing canvas.....purchased on Etsy.....along with the two canvases in the family room....the wicker pumpkin place mats were purchased last year on Simons website for a fraction of the price on Pottery Barn....and the table runner was a Temu purchase from last year as well....

I now purchase all my table runners on Temu.....they are a fraction of the price Home Sense charges.   I have a number of runners folded over hangers in the guest room bedroom closet.....

The Hello Fall sign was painted at a class I took with my friend....(sadly she has passed away).....I cherish this piece & remember our evening together & the fun we had painting that evening.....the stack of pumpkins was on clearance at Michael's a few years ago....

The coffee bar area is Mr. Seventies favourite spot....he loves putting on a coffee or cappuccino or the kettle for a hot cup of tea.  I made a fresh batch of sprinkle cherry cupcakes & apple crisp....(cupcakes are little granddaughters favourites).....

She was very much taken with the witches legs in the cauldron as well....

The adorable pumpkin tissue box cover finally arrived.....this one through Amazon....as well as ordered on Wal Mart's website.....but it never arrived....(that happens a lot when I order through their website....always a good chance it will never arrive).....

I haven't filled Marvin's pumpkin candy dish yet....I live with someone who has a real sweet tooth when it comes to candy.....so I'll hold off for a couple of weeks before filling it.....and of course the candy corn tart warmer throws off an amazing pumpkin spice scent....

This little mat I found on Temu....for an economical price too....

Any wonder why this is my favourite time of year?  I am thinking ahead though....my neighbour advised Simons has their Christmas decor available on their site.....(thanks for that).....I couldn't resist this cute guy.....he's tucked away for now....but will make an appearance later in the fall.....

Since the pool is closed for the season....we also washed & packed up swimsuits & pool towels....(which are stored all summer in this wicker trunk in the kitchen).   It now holds winter mitts, gloves, scarves & hats....as well as three of Liesel's winter wear....(*sniff).  Since grand puppy Oliver is growing & will be needing some warmth this winter....I'm passing them on to him.....an adorable hand knit red sweater, a warm hoodie & wrap to keep him cozy & warm.....

I hope you join me later today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphis Monday & again tomorrow with Joanne at https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talking About It Tuesdays & https://www.astrollthrulife.net/ for Inspire Me Tuesday.....

Thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me....I do so appreciate it!

Til next time.....
