The World in Orange Hues

This year´s Halloween / Fall decorations are up. Not much this year, as we´re taking things slowly (, the old-married-couple-style)... just a Halloween Dinner and a Movie type of thing with a couple of friends. October snuck up on me and literally arrived before I even officially noticed! Now the festive season begins, with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and my Birthday in February... what else is there to do when the weather gets bad, the light is gone for what seems half a year and rain and snow are your new pals, and you´re freezing your toes off? That´s right! Eating and decorating save me every cold season, ha ha! It´s more than once (or twice) that I´ve dreamt of being a fat dormouse, fattening up in early fall and then sleeping in a cozy underground nest until the warmth and light of spring wakes me again. Pure Bliss!

So here´s the little Halloween cozyness in our living room. I don´t know why but that color scheme or oranges, deep reds and rich purple with gold and petrol really enchant me:

The mantlepiece (and yes, I used my scarf as 'tablecloth')

I love this scented candle so much... it smells like Kensington, M.D. in fall ;)!
