Welcome them home once again... 🎃 Here are a few of my very favorite antique postcards and photographs of my very favorite 'holiday' ~ the photo below is so clever ~ but that child's face is telling another story altogether! and although the photo below is slightly creepy, I love their dresses, basket and the clothesline behind them! and here are a few favorite quotes for you too: On Halloween, what bothers some About these witches, is how come In sailing, through the air, like bats They never seem, to lose their hats? Hitchhiking owls, as we have seen, Ride nicely on this queer machine... Another thing: if brooms can fly, Do witches keep them handy-by To sweep the kitchen floor with, say? Or do they have them locked away For private passage through the sky? ~David McCord (1897–1997), "Witch's Broom Notes" A gypsy fire is on the hearth, Sign of the carnival of mirth; Through the dun fields and from the glade Flash merry folk in masquerade, For this is Hallowe'en! ~Author unknown They that are born on Halloween shall see more than other folk. ~Saying of unknown origin You wouldn't believe On All Hallow Eve What lots of fun we can make, With apples to bob, And nuts on the hob, And a ring-and-thimble cake. ~Carolyn Wells Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight make me a child again just for to-night! ~Elizabeth Akers Allen Blessings from the Farm ~ Lori

Who was the menacing and malevolent stranger who climbed into Tom Cox’s Hackney Carriage on All Hallows Eve 1684 who not only terrified him out of his wits, but changed his life forever?
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite..."Witches, ghosts, and goblins. Stealing down the street, knock on every door way, trick or treat!" The treat nowadays is candy, but the practice of dressing in costumes and going door to door for sweets dates back to the Middle Ages when the poor went begging for soul cakes. The cakes, which are actually cookies, were made for All Souls' Day. The devout mixed a measure of superstition with a dose of religion and believed that each cookie represented a soul that would be freed from Purgatory when the cookie was eaten. The cookies, called souls, were etched with crosses that clearly identified them as Alms for the dead and there was an expectation that a prayer would be said each time a cookie was eaten. Over time, the practice of souling was moved to All Hollows' Eve and the Alms for the dead were replaced with candy and other sweets. The cookies are a curiosity and it is their history that makes them interesting. There are dozens of recipes for "souls", most of which make a spicy shortbread-type cookie. Actually, the cookies aren't bad when freshly baked, but they stale fast, so eat quickly and, for heaven's sake, don't forget to say your prayers. Here's the recipe. Soul Cakes...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite Ingredients: 3/4 cup butter 3/4 cup superfine sugar 4 cups flour, sifted 3 egg yolks 1 teaspoon apple pie or pumpkin pie spice 1 teaspoon allspice 3 tablespoons currants or raisins a little milk Directions: 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. 2) Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy and pale in color. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time. 3) Combine flour and spices. Fold into creamed butter. 4) Gently stir in currants or raisins. Add enough milk to make a soft dough. 5) Form into flat cakes and cut each top with a knife to make a cross. 6) Bake on prepared cookie sheet until golden, about 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Yield: 14 to 16 cakes.

You all know I love Halloween, but this time I went a bit bananas. Ha. I hosted my neighborhood bunko group for the month of October, and I saw it as a perfect opportunity to do so. In the past I’ve picked a room to spookify (the library and the dining room) and gone all out in that space, but this year I wanted to add a bit of haunt to all of the main rooms. Aside from my Miss Havisham set up, here is how I added some creep. Unfortunately most of these items are old or are sold out, but you can get bones, cobwebs, and candlesticks just about anywhere Halloween decor is sold. Those are my go-to for cheap, easy, and chic decor! And I have to brag on my sister-in-law for a minute, because she cooked for the 12 of us Bunko Babes, and she knocked it […]
