Seriously, would you try and eat that apple ? Looks tempting, doesn't it ? I used this wreath that I already had together with a bit of black spray paint to turn it into a scary Halloween display. Just in case someone is hungry while passing by our house. Weird side effects guaranteed.
As we move closer to Halloween, creepy things start popping up around the house. This morning I have noticed these spider webs in the garden. They must be from a very strange spider switching to orange crochet web style to fit into my Halloween decorations.
Here´s a tip for you that always works. If my hubby complains about way too much "stuff" lying around in our living room, I always buy new cupboards, have him fix them on the wall and store the "stuff" in them to make room for more "stuff". It´s the circle of cuteness. You would not think of it, but I got most of those cupboards in the pictures from TK Maxx.
Last Sunday, we ended the outside teatime season with a bang. I did some seasonal baking and an irresistible autumn decoration. One of our favorite cakes was the choc & caramel cheesecake with chocolate sauce on top! I also offered a warming autumn fruit crumbler with an almond cookie topping, yummieh!, and a delicious ginger cake with fudgy frosting - it really was the perfect september outside retreat!

And since I had my most beloved Cream Tea every day, I felt that I can't do any baking today. Too many calories to count for...that's why it was clear that I need to start a craft project. With the help of my friendly hot glue gun and an old sweater out of…
Finally it`s summer. No complaining, just countless days of sunshine. These days, our porch literally becomes the living room. So it needs a proper 'lighting'. I came up with this 'chandelier installation' from a piece of a tree and a vintage bunting. The only thing missing is the cake. But let´s eat healthy for just one day. Enjoy the sun.
