Scarecrow Saturday 2015

Last week, my office had another tea social. The theme for October was a no-brainer: Halloween!

I brought in some black teas and my Fire King peach lustre teacups and saucers.

My co-workers brought orange and black-themed treats.

 Our mini jack-o-lanterns. 

Last weekend was "Scarecrow Saturday" in downtown Dundas. This is an annual competition where local merchants create scarecrow displays that reflect their store or Halloween themes.

  3. Margie, I have always liked the lustre ware and the peach is especially pretty! The guard at Buckingham Palace is my favourite too. Very cute! I'm sure all enjoyed the October tea. Thanks for sharing and joining me for my new party. Hope you have a wonderful first week of November too.

  8. You have a lot of fun at your office! The orange lustre ware takes me back - I think my mother had a few pieces of it. The scarecrows are delightful, not too scary to me, and I hope much scarier to crows!
