Pretty has Halloween treats – no tricks


Happy Halloween to our cyberspace amigos from all of us at Casita de Cardinal – hope you Β have fun and high frivolity complete with walking dead figures as far as the eye can see…

I have never been a costume person, but I rarely meet a piece of chocolate candy I don’t like so Halloween isn’t a total washout for me.

Permit me to offer one memory of a Trick or Treat I went on with my friend Butch Foster when I was a little girl living in Richards, Texas. I must have been five or six years old, and Butch was a couple of years older. It wasn’t the candy I remember – no, not the candy. Β But I can still smell and taste the homemade popcorn balls made with fresh popcorn and Karo syrup that my grandmother gave us when we knocked on her door. My hands got so sticky when I ate the popcorn ball, but who cared. It was scrumptious. (I’m not sure Butch was as impressed as I was.)

And now, here’s a treat from Pretty that will surely send you racing to her antique booths in Little Mountain this week – check out the chair and bench!

 

Stay tuned.

    I wish I lived closer, all of these pieces are amazing! I never got popcorn balls, I don’t think. I vaguely remember Rice Krispie treats.
