Grow Pumpkin, Grow!!


Check out our My Small World Pumpkin!!! It's the biggest one ever, and we are trying to work out exactly how we are going to transport it to the shop...this one might just beat us, so we may have to carve it in Situ!

I know Halloween isn't everyone's cup of tea...but despite the cynicism, I absolutely adore this cheeky little festival. I've just written an article about the delights of Halloween japes, which will be published in Bath Life at the end of the month...I'll put a link here so you can read all about how Halloween gave me by biggest dose of Parental Guilt ever...quite an achievement!

For those of you who find the whole pumpkin carving/dressing up thing just too stressful, or too tough to squeeze in to your hectic working/family schedule, we've found some great shortcuts..

These great candle bags look fantastic lining your path or steps - almost as good, if not better, than a pumkin. And we've loved the craze for Chinese Lanterns, but stopped stocking them when we discovered the trouble the wire frames caused when landing in livestock fields. However, our friends at Light-A-Lantern have created a fabtastic eco-friendly version made with the lightest of bamboo frames, which means it doesn't matter where they land! And, better still, they've created a set of five funky Halloween ones....what a fantastically magical way to bring to a close a sugar fuelled evening!

Have a fab evening, whatever you do!

Lots of Love
