    I pinned the diy bubbling witch cauldron. I have always like these. I saw where a person did this with a skeleton in the bathtub so it looked like they were taking a bubble bath, too cute.

    • September 11, 2025 at 6:45 am

      Wow! What a wonderful display for those of us who love Halloween! My favorite candy is anything with chocolate, probably Rolos. My favorite memory is trick or treating for UNICEF as a kid!

    Been following your blog for many many years! My favorite Halloween treat is candy corn mixed with peanuts. I’m retired now but I used to take a large glass pumpkin shaped canister bowl to my office filled with the candy corn peanut mix for office staff to enjoy. I would have to refill that glass pumpkin bowl numerous times during the season. All enjoyed and it was so fun!

    Oh Mary….Halloween is so much fun! My favorite candy is a peanut butter cup! I love Rod and Rowena pictures and look forward to seeing them a lot over the next 6 weeks or so. Over the last several years I have started making the popcorn for special holidays and sending to the grands who all live far away 😢. I do Halloween, of course, Christmas, st Patrick’s and Easter!

    One of my favorite candies for Halloween are the orange and black wrapped peanut butter kisses. They remind me of salt water taffy and I love how they look in jars and candy dishes for a little touch of Halloween decoration
    Your tablescapes are so inspirational I’m spending the day getting my favorites decorations out of storage!

    I pinned the floating witch umbrella, I just love anything with witches. My favorite candy is probably a millionaire. But anything with chocolate will do for me.

    My favorite Halloween treat is receiving your weekly emails, especially seasonal ones like these. After a hot (and often uncomfortable) summer, your whimsical tablescapes sidelines my apathy and I’m ready to get creative. Of course, Rod, Rowena and now Grace Skelly are always fun to see again. I have made/decorated with a few of your Halloween ideas but may I suggest something new? In addition to your fun giveaways, what if someone won an afternoon helping you decorate one of your seasonal tables? Too much? It’s just being around your creativity would be such a fun day. Thank you for brightening up my mornings and putting me into the spirit for decorating!

This year I haven’t been able to haunt my local Home Goods stores, yes stores plural, but you found some wonderful Halloween things and I assume some of them are from HG.. My favorite Halloween candy is a Mr. Goodbar but since those bars are getting harder to find, my second favorite is peanut M&M’s. I look forward to seeing this year’s Halloween table. Thank you, MM
