What are you doing for Halloween?
This Halloween I miss going to the pumpkin farm trips that I used to do with my little preschooler friends in the Montessori school. What astonishes me most is the wonder in their eyes. Seeing such a vast mass of orange color, the weird sizes and shapes of the pumpkins and a trip where they could show off their family to their teacher and their teacher to their family was such a special treat for them.
It is that sense of wonder that I want to hold on to and take into my life and never lose it. This is what my little students taught me.
As I was thinking about these things I did manage to knit a necklace with carnelian chips and antique gold swarovski crystal beads with very thin gold filled wire. The various shades of orange in the carnelian chips made me happy, a feeling of October that I could pass on to my jewelry creation!
A friend came over last weekend and he is so nice, he took some pictures of my just finished piece. He is quite a photographer and many of his landscapes are published in magazines! At the bottom of this picture you see his web address, not my store:)
Wasn’t that thoughtful of him to give me this precious gift, appreciating my creation and taking pictures?

| October ornament |
It is that time of the year when we clean, paint, fix our homes and renew it with beautiful things. New clothes are bought for each member of the family, including the helpers. Sweet meats cook in the kitchen. Friends and relatives visit with greetings. Children light fire crackers.
Cities dress with garlands of light. Each house is lit with lamps and candles. We pray to banish all darkness from our mind and fill it up with goodwill.
This is the time to give.
In my store too you’ll find a coupon for Diwali Special.
Just put the coupon code DIWALI10
It is valid until Nov 10, 2011. Diwali will be on the new moon night, October 26th , this year.
Wish you Happy Diwali and Happy Halloween too.
