Today: some festive ideas for the Halloween season. I want to specifically mention that these adorable mini pumpkin cocottes from Staub are on sale and would be so fab for serving French onion soup, chili, or even a little bowl of dip/guac/etc this fall. And if you’re in the market for woven/rattan pumpkins to decorate with but don’t want to spend as much as the options at Pottery Barn and Juliska, these ones at Grandin Road are a good price. Finally, this Embers candle from Linnea is probably my favorite candle I’ve ever burned from the brand. It smells a lot like Diptyque Feu de Bois and has more throw than Linnea’s other scents.

And a few fun seasonal finds for families with young children, too. I especially love this Halloween book — we actually read it year-round. It has adorable illustrations and I love the overall message of hypothesizing and testing multiple different solutions to solve a problem. I’ve also loved the book The Humbug Witch since I was a little girl. My mother used to come into our class and read it every year! I now read it to my children!

I haven’t yet figured out the treat cards / treats we’ll be sending in to school for class parties, but I love the ones Erin Wallace does!
P.S. Every phase is a good phase.
P.P.S. More recent children’s finds — including a bunch of Halloween activities for littles and a Christmas gift to buy now and sock away for the holidays.
P.P.P.S. Small home and travel improvements.
