Happy Halloween

 

It's Halloween, are you getting ready for the festivities that will take place tonight?

I am. Candy? Check! Pumpkins? Check! Monsters? Check!

This is my first year giving candy, I hope we actually get some little ones, or big ones, I just want to hand out some treats!

Last night the boyfriend and I carved pumpkins for the first time together.

Of course his pumpkin was 60 lbs, and it was a little too thick to carve, but he managed and did a great job, (his pumpkin is the bigger one).

I decided to go with a happy pumpkin.

If it were up to me, I'd carve ten pumpkins, I love carving them!

One of these years, I'm going to have a carving party! How fun would that be? Dress up, eat spooky food, play games, watch scary movies, and carve away!

 

I hope everyone has a fun Halloween!

 

What are you getting into tonight?

Let's fall for porches

I am loving all these fall porches I'm seeing!

People here. (in Pennsylvania), really get into it, which I love.

 It makes this time of year even better!

A lot of people around here are using corn stalks, pumpkins of all kinds, hay, leaves, mums of every color... it's all so perfect.

As of right now, I went with a scary porch, spider webbing, rats crawling up the columns, skeletons and ghouls hanging..

But for Thanksgiving, I will make it more fall-ish.

(The back porch on the other hand has pumpkins, mums, and gourds, so I do get to see a little fall).

I really like these porches, one of these years, I'm going to have the perfect fall porch!

Just you wait and see!

Is your porch decorated for fall? Or is it more like mine, where it's scary? 

Vintage Halloween Costumes

Halloween is around the corner, yay,

which means costume shopping, or making.. depends on how creative you want to get.

I am honestly so sick of these "slutty", "sexy", "whore" costumes! Aren't you???

Halloween isn't about who can be the most sluttiest.. I call those people 'attention whores'.

Yes, we see your tits, and your "C you next Tuesday" (as Charlotte from Sex and the City would call it). Now, leave the party with some scummy guy so the rest of us can have some fun. Unless, the party is for sex, or Playboy Bunny party, then that's alright.

I like the real Halloween costumes, where you don't worry about how you look, you just want to have a great time, and party!

I wish we still had costumes like these people below.

They are so fun, scary, unique, strange.. I love it!

That's Halloween!

 

Aren't they great!

You can see more here.



The Great Jack-o-lantern Blaze

This past weekend, the boyfriend and I went to the little town of Sleepy Hollow, NY.

I wanted to treat him, and myself, to the Great Jack O' Lantern Blaze.

When we got there,

they had this huge tent up, with hanging pumpkin lanterns, and spider web lighting, it had treats such as Candy Apples, Caramel Pop Corn, Pumpkin Spice, Apple Cider, etc.

 

 As you walk in the event, there are people everywhere taking pictures, no one is moving, so you are stuck waiting to see the pumpkins.

 Once we actually got a spot, it was unbelievable...

 I've never seen anything like it.

So much talent!

 

It was stop-n-go through out the whole walk.

My favorite scenes were the grave yard, the spider web with spider pumpkins, the dinosaurs, and the fish.

At the end they had another tent you could walk through, and see art.

There were some interesting pieces, people are quite creative.

The Headless Horseman of Lego's was selling for $8,500!

I'm going to save you the crowds of people and show you some pictures I was able to take.

I hope you enjoy.

I do recommend you going and seeing it in person, if you do happen to go, pay for the VIP, it would be well worth it!

 

Hello Asheville, NC

Hello Asheville!

Hey guys! Sorry it's been awhile since I've written anything, my mum and I have been in Asheville NC, for the past few days. I have wanted to see the leaves change for over a decade now, so I told my parents I was going, with or without them! Luckily my mum came with me.

 As soon as we got into Asheville, we took a detour, and ventured through the Blue Ridge Parkway, the leaves were beautiful! And the overlooks were even better! We couldn't have gotten there at a more perfect time.

The first night, we ordered pizza and went back to our hotel room and watched Dancing with the Stars. The next day we ate some waffles and went to a few thrift stores. Then we were off to Chimney Rock! On the way to Chimney Rock, I went down a road that I fell in love with, it made a circle through the valley, and let's just say the views were beautiful, I found a little shack house next to a barn, I want to live there! You look out your back window, and all you see is mountains! Anyways, we got off that road and headed towards our destination. When we reached Chimney Rock the first thing we did was hiked to the waterfall, then it was off to all the other overlooks. Let me just warn you, if you ever go, prepare yourself! There are A LOT of stairs! All in all, it was a great time! After the hike we found a guy who was selling apples, so we got a bag full, then we went out to eat at a place on Lake Lure; mum and I got veggie burgers with fries, and a side order of onion rings! Yummy! When we walked out of the restaurant, the view from the lake was amazing, I could have stayed there forever! After dinner, we headed back to Asheville, and stayed at a Holiday Inn that was super cozy! Our view from our room was niiiiice! We watched Dancing with the Stars,  (I was kinda upset that David Arquette got voted off!) The next day we ate some more waffles, and set out to find Antique Stores. We went to a few places, fell in love with lots of furniture at the Tobacco Barn. After that we went to Biltmore Village, ate at Moe's, and then headed back home!

It was such a great few days, it was so nice to get out of Beaufort.. I always feel like I'm at home in the mountains, it's just so cozy and there is so much to do! If you live in the mountains, you are lucky, and I am jealous!
