Happy Halloween!
Some children walked past the house earlier tonight shouting “trick-or-treat!!!”
I had a horrifying moment where I realised that all we had in the house was a bag of skittles that I opened yesterday. Eep.
Halloween isn’t huge in Australia, but I did manage to go trick or treating a few times as a kid, and I learnt a thing or two.
You never remember the houses that give you the amazing lollies.
You always remember the houses that give you the lame stuff.
I still remember the house that gave me the already opened block of cooking chocolate.
This was an hugely disappointing offering to a nine year old. Firstly because I knew from experience cooking chocolate tasted bitter. Secondly because Mum took it off me the minute she laid eyes on it amongst my trick-or-treat haul, citing possible poisoning by ‘bad people’, so I didn’t even get to test out if I had developed a new found love of bitter chocolate.
I glare at that house every time I drive past it. I am sure the couple living there are very nice people, but all I remember is that opened block of cooking chocolate.
Anyway, in other Halloween related activities, how great is this bat-in-flight necklace from Handy Maiden (aka Danielle Pedersen)?? Sweet.
I think the seagull would look super cute at the beach as the weather warms up, and Natalie Portman made swans hip and stuff, right?
Thrilling jewels!
Cute! Love the bat! Very festive.
