Happy Halloween!

It seems that I am always away from home on Halloween. This year I am in Italy and the past couple of years I was in or traveling to Argentina. Halloween is not really a big holiday in Italy or Argentina, although I spotted small nods to the day here and there in both places.
I wanted to make sure I took time to pause and wish everyone out there a happy Halloween.
My good friend Lynda is a big fan of the day, and I am so happy to know she is celebrating with her beloved niece and nephews. Lynda – who runs the Grateful Evermore blog – has held pumpkin carving parties in the past and is always doing something special for the season.
One year I showed up at her house to find the coolest Halloween decoration ever – a skeleton in a coffin candelabra. I loved it! I guess I raved so much about it that Lynda made a note. One day not long after, I arrived home from work to find a package. I opened it up to find my very own a skeleton in a coffin candelabra – a gift from Lynda.
Knowing I would be away on Halloween this year I took my skeleton in a coffin candelabra out a little early and lit it every night for a week leading up to my trip. Thanks to Lynda and memories of Halloweens past, I got to celebrate this year even though I am so far away.
So, I wish you a great day and hope you get more treats than tricks!

The wine bottle candle holders Lynda sent to me this year – very cool:
