. . . 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!
