happy halloweenie
Posted by Rebecca, October 31st, 2010
I didn’t plan on decorating the inside of our house for any holidays other than Christmas (see our outside fall decor here), but when I spotted these pumpkins at Crate and Barrel I had to have them.
I bought one of the medium sized ones and two of the mini sized ones. I planned to use them make a whole centerpiece arrangement on our table for our first Thanksgiving. Then we decided to do an impromptu Halloween gathering Saturday with both of our families, so I figured I’d put them out early. Problem was, I didn’t have the rest of my table scape ready! I ran to Target to find the runner I wanted but they were out, so I decided to just stick the pumpkins on our Ikea Stornas buffet for the day.
Then I remembered that we had some tiny pumpkins from the farm I could mix in…
If I only had this blog to document the Ikea dining room furniture fiasco back in April. Someday I will have to go back and cover the dining room stuff we already have!
At like 11pm on Friday night I decided to make chocolate covered pretzels. Mike thought I was crazy, but I love decorating…and decorating things I can eat?? even better! So I set out to do the pretzels on my own, but Mike ended up enjoying the process and helped out. Maybe even dominated the pretzel game…
We started getting creative along the way and decided to smash up some of the halloween candy we bought…
So now we still have more than two full bags of halloween candy, leftover pumpkin pie, chocolate cake, pumpkin roll, pumpkin cake, chocolate covered animal crackers that my mom bought and some chocolate covered pretzels left. The next kid to ring the doorbell gets a piece of cake….
Happy Halloween everyone!
Ohhh, those pretzels look so good. I am uberly jealous!
mmmmmm salty and sweet! Any time I try fun projects like that my husband makes faces and teases and then POOF – takes over. Is that what happened here? =) hahaha! love it! Mind if I do a quick post on your pretzel amazingness? i’m being lazy today 😉
Pretty much! Mike loves to cook but isn’t into the baking/crafty stuff, which works well because I am. But I think the pretzels were easy enough for his short attention span 🙂
I’d be honored if you did a pretzel post! Thanks!!
ok totally just jumped the gun and posted it! let me know what you think!

YUMMERS!!!
I’m not much for Halloween decorating, but I do like those understated pumpkins. They’re good fall decor in general.
And WOW, those pretzels look delicious!
Yeah I’m not a Halloween decorator either… I suppose if I was having a costume party or something I’d be more into it, but we usually don’t do much. I actually planned to use these for Thanksgiving so I’m happy I got them, now I can use them for a few months each year!
Love the pumpkins! They are very handsome.
Pretzels – I want. So glad I caught up on your blog post lunch 😉
The pretzels are amazing looking. Well done!
