Book Review: Happy Halloween!

August 27, 2009 by Meaghan Mountford

countrylivingTwo of my favorite entities–Country Living and Sterling Publishing–have joined forces to give us a treat, Happy Halloween! This book has everything, and I mean everything, you need to spook, chill, carve, cook, sew, cut, serve, wear and decorate for Halloween. All of Country Living’s best Halloween ideas in 223 pages. Find tons of pumpkin carving ideas (including traditional, scary, silly, unique and refined), handmade decor, recipes for cocktails, drinks, treats and party fare, and how-tos for creating costumes.

hallo.book2Just a few things you can do with this book:

–carve flames into pumpkins for your fireplace

–make your own skeleton luminaries

–float tissue paper ghosts in your window

–create a gourd-topped candelabra

–make a haunted house for your kid’s party

–serve pumpkin bisque and apple and sage chicken at your grown-up party

–make and decorate your own fall-themed cakes

–dress your wee one up as Little Red Riding Hood or a scary lion

Now that I finally have a nice, roomy house full of decorating possibilities, once my kitchen is actually in place and our piles of boxes have cleared (having moved recently to a fixer-upper in desperate need of fixer-upping), I’ll be sure to use this book heartily and post more ideas. In the interim, you can find Happy Halloween! HERE at Sterling or HERE at amazon.com or your favorite book store or site, and click HERE for tons of Halloween ideas at Country Living.happy.hallobook
