Spooky Season Is Here (Even If It's Still 92 Degrees)

September 21, 2026

My favorite season is approaching and I couldn't be more excited to share some Halloween highlights. I wanted this post to go beyond what I sell in my shop and offer some creative crafts / art whether I sell them or not LOL.

Over the weekend I went to a Fall Market. I wore my best fall outfit- and regretted it because it was 92 degrees and wearing a sweater and jeans was not the move. I should know better SEPTEMBER is not Sweater weather in Georgia.

Anyhoo-

I found this local family of folk art potters and I really loved how unique their work was.

My daughter purchased this Hog jug from them. The booth was our first stop so I was hesitant to purchase an amazing glazed pumpkin head. As we were heading out I went back for it, but it was gone. I was so bummed, but I know I will find my special piece soon enough.

if your looking for some cool art pieces or some terracotta pumpkin planters they have an Etsy shop and website.

Costume Cats

I squealed out loud when these came in- aren't they adorable? Ghost, Skeleton, Pumpkin, Witch and Wizard, The felt comes pre-cut with the pattern already printed on it, so you get to just sit down and start. I think they are so fun and I want to make all of them. I already made the ghost and while my stitches need improvement I think she came out so cute. I definitely think a beginner can make them.

The best part is her little black feet and tail poking out from under the sheet - and the sheet comes off so she can just be a cat. Savannah (my cat in the photo) approves.

Which one is your favorite?
