Magic is in the air. I just wish the air was a bit cooler! I don't judge the change of seasons by the daytime temperature. I look at the nighttime temps. Until we have nights under 60 degrees, it is still summer to me. Most of our night's are still in the upper 60's so we aren't even close to open window weather yet.
Whenever I see one of these old Jack O' Lantern candles at a thrift store I pick them up. Most of the time they cost less than a dollar. Sometimes you can still find them in their original cellophane. They make me feel so nostalgic!
I might have more cauldrons than anyone in existence. I really wonder if anyone owns more than I do. I just love them. These are all metal except for the one on the right. It is glass but painted black. I sometimes wonder why there are so many cauldrons out there. Are there lots of witches that I am not aware of?
This one with the toads is one of my favorites.
The lady and the man and the three Jack O' Lanterns are hand carved by a wonderful Vermont artist named Karl Neubauer. You can google KarlArt to take a look at his work.
Every year when I pull these two out for display I look at them and think...these guys really look like goofy bastards. So now that is their name: The Goofy Bastards! The witch hat and pumpkin are actually napkin weights. You sit them on top of cocktail napkins to keep them from blowing away.***Remember to enter the giveaway by clicking on the button on my sidebar!

the toads are my fav pic in this post ! it has been 6c here a few nights back definately on its way . I know I try keeping the windows open at night when it is about 4c and it is pushing it ☺ but I just love that crispness to the air at night drifting off to sleep . I so crave the cottage when it is cool like that .
our temps this week are falling into the 60s by day and 50s by night...change is coming...warm wishes and brightest blessings~

To answer your question about the Monster Burger bun, I found it at Kroger, marketed as jalapeno-cheddar pull-apart bread. It was all I could find in that size and shape that wasn't a super-heavy sourdough or such. I should probably make my own, but my bread-making success is hit or miss.
Peace,

I'm currently planning on making ten homemade gravestones for Halloween.... hope this works out! :)
Just what do you brew in all of your cauldrons? heh
And is it possible not to love the Goofy Bastards :-) :-) :-)
Have a great day now!
