Pumpkins and Scarecrows

At a recent visit to the Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG), I saw some unique pumpkins.

2015 Favourite Pumpkin Winner: 'Ghost'

2016 Favourite Pumpkin Winner: 'Triamble'

2017 Favourite Pumpkin Winner: 'Galeuse D'eysines'

The Christmas bazaar season has begun! I didn't really need another coaster set, but I couldn't resist these charming fabric tea-themed coasters. The colours are perfect for fall.

The Keeping Room
At this year's Scarecrow Saturday in the Valley, Scare Bear served a creepy feast: salad of ball, spook-getti, pumpkin gut cupcakes.

The Beanermunky Chocolate
I was happy that Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons, won first prize.

If you're in the Greater Toronto area this weekend, come out to the RBG's Second Annual Tea Festival!


I'm joining the following parties this week:

    Well done with the Halloween decorating Valley Town!! Love your little coasters (resistance, sometimes, is futile). Happy Halloween Margie!

    Love the tea coasters, Margie, and what unique pumpkins! I have never seen a pumpkin like the one that won this year. My, but Ontario must be a fun place to live. You always have such interesting places to go. Have a lovely day!

    Beautiful - I don't think I could have resisted those coasters! I have yet to go to any bazaars this season - I've been too busy. Maybe that's a GOOD thing haha!

    Love all the cool pumpkin shapes out there. My favorite are the little white baby boos. You find the best tea events to go to! It hard to resist tea-related things, for sure. xo Deborah
