Are there really people who would do this much decorating for a dinner party on Halloween? I took this photo inside a Pottery Barn store where an abundance of expensive Halloween ornaments, plates, napkins, candleholders, and other bric-a-brac were available for the inspired hostess.
I know that some of my foreign readers don’t celebrate the holiday Halloween but, for those of you who do, have a happy and safe one. In the US there will be many trick-or-treaters knocking on doors dressed in costumes and hoping for candy at each stop. Parents will need to be prepared for the oncoming sugar rush!
By the way, Halloween is a name that was shortened from All-Hallow-Eve or the eve of All Saints Day which is on November 1st.
