[ hello october ] . . .

[ hello october ] . . .


. . . think of glittered and velvet pumpkins, old~timey wood carved figurines, and sweet sugar~coated candy confections . . .

I always love visiting Roger's Gardens in Newport Beach, California in the early fall because their Halloween Boutique "Magic & Mayhem" has the most amazing display of goodies imaginable!

Want to have a peek? Why don't you break off a piece of that giant chocolate bar, or dig into that colorful bag of candy corn ~ let's take a walk around the boutique and gardens.
