I had some fun costuming at work for Halloween. May and I were pineapples. I made the headpieces from this Studio DIY tutorial, and I was pretty much obsessed with our 'get up' all day long.
We co-captained our work's holiday committee and had some fun setting up this candy bar for our coworkers.
We even made my favorite punch dubbed 'witches' brew' (sans cherries) when it's Halloween otherwise known as 'grinch punch' for Christmas. Recipe is Paula Deen's Lime Sherbet Punch. So easy: Ingredients
2 quarts lime sherbet, 2 liters ginger ale, 1 (46 oz) can pineapple juice, slices of one orange and one lime for decoration. Directions
In a punch bowl, add 2 quarts of lime sherbet. Then add ginger ale and pineapple juice. Decorate with lemon and lime slices (and some maraschino cherries instead of the orange at Christmas time).
Witches' brew was served in the below cutest witch cups by Meri Meri. The Land of Nod carries Meri Meri's holiday line, and they truly have the most adorable holiday party decs. I wiped out their entire New Year's Eve line last year, and if you're looking for photo booth props, theirs rock (their new year's party props may have already hit my Christmas wish list).
May and I won most hilarious. Yay!
After work it was off to the lake where I ate candy by night and watched Hocus Pocus.
Hank, my Dad and I spent Saturday morning in Charlotte. We grabbed lattes at Amelie's, made a stop at NoDa Brewing for a special release beer, chowed down on tacos at Cabo Fish Taco and shopped it out at one of my favorites, Blacklion.
We spent the evening at a neighborhood chicken stew on the prettiest backdrop, fall at the lake.
On Sunday, we left with some of this most wonderful curry chicken salad with cranberries masterpiece my mom created via Southern Living.
October came and went; the weekend came and went; whew, time flies. Live it up, people. I just shipped out my first Winedeer of the season so I'm just saying, if you want some, come get some. He'll look fab on your bar cart. Happy Week!
