'Tis Halloween...

Parties and Pumpkins and a little halloween fairytale magic a long the way...


I cannot quite believe it but my lovely daughter Sophia is now officially a Teenager!!!!...
She was soooo excited to see sparklers on her cake!.


A long comes Autumn and all the beautiful colours...Rusty reds and golden tones...
It always amazes me like ive never seen an Autumn like it before...
We've enjoyed some wonderful family walks along the old canal and into the woods, around our pretty old Market town and some trips in the car to the sea and coastal harbours in Cornwall and to Dartington Hall for a lovely Autumnal walk around the estate and gardens...

Beautiful issue of Country Living U.K this month, beautiful styling by selina lake...

We had a family day in Liskeard, Cornwall... Beautiful yarn bombing around the little market town.
We enjoyed looking through the book shop, charity shops and antiques shops...
I came home with a few treasures...
I'm still enjoying some late dahlias bringing colour to the garden and other little blooms in the pots on the patio...My Mother came over and took a huge bag of apples!...I cannot believe how many apples the trees produced this year!...
This is a beautiful vintage Pumpkin  picture I found through pinterest...

I had a little go at carving and drawing onto my own pumpkins ( not home grown)...
I used a white Posca pen to decorate the foliage one...free hand styled it.
Adds a little magic to the fireplace...Sophia is yet to finish hers.

Enjoying warming soups made with chicken stock, roast chicken strips, leeks, potatoes and grated cheddar...and toasted granary loaf....
I love my home with lots of sparkling fairy lights...especially now the evenings are getting much darker.

Its been a busy, but really Lovely Month, this October...We've enjoyed Sophia's birthday celebrations and had some lovely family outings during the half term week...
Wonderful Charlestown Harbour in Cornwall...And if you're a fan of Poldark the BBC series you will also like to know it was where a lot of the harbour scenes were filmed...Now quite a huge tourist attraction and you can walk around the set...We used to come here quite a lot before its big fame when we were first dating...We couldn't park quite a few trips during the summer months, so we did enjoy less coach loads of people and a quiet walk around...It was beautiful Sunny day too...We enjoyed pasties by the harbour wall.
Autumnal rose...

My Halloween inspired illustrations have been quite a success this month...I think everyone likes a bit of a fairytale...whimsical and dreamy...Ive been sharing them on instagram and 'Thank you' to those who have purchased prints from my Etsy shop (Link In sidebar to my Etsy shop)...
We seem to be filled up on cake most of this October month...and Enjoying Autumn and family time.
