With Halloween just a couple of weeks away, I thought I would get you into the spookeeeee mood with a few halloween images! Check out the toffee apples in the post below too - a great idea for a halloween party.

Halloween Spooktacular ....

Have lots of fun this Halloween. I made these last year, they are pretty rubbish but I like the shape of the ghosts - got to work on much better version for next year.

Mystery in the moonlight

I should have saved these 'til Halloween but couldn't wait to share ( and I will probably forget!) Found these lovely images via ffffound and Haute Macabre. They feature Claudia Schiffer and were shot for a Harpers Bazaar magazine shoot - I love this old style which I think has been recreated so well here.

Happy Halloween

On our holiday in the US, we noticed everyone goes crazy for Halloween over there,much more so than in the UK, with pumpkin patches in every town and houses elaborately decorated, it reminded me of a recent edition of Country Living in which there was an article showing off some really pretty pumpkin and gourd carvings (I guess the book above is where the images/inspiration came from for the article) - I have hunted high and low to find the magazine but no joy - so I have searched the net for some alternatives to the traditional carved face design to inspire you for carving your pumpkin tonight. 

(The very top image is from fakeplastictrees which looks pretty special, not sure I could manage this one.  The middle two pumpkin images are from Shakin Style  and the bottom image is from Daily Olive) these are nice simple and pretty alternative to putting a scary face in your window)
