I decided to host my Happy Halloween Linky party early today. I know it gets busy with all the trick or treaters coming around. This gives you all a chance to link up early! This week I chose some Halloween skeleton tablescapes, and Oreo pumpkin mini cheesecake recipe and some shortbread mummy cookies!

Halloween linky party highlights

I love love shortbread cookies and these mummy shortbread cookies look too good to be true! The Happy Mustard Seed shares all kinds of tips about making shortbread cookies. Pop over and say hi!

Mini things always tempt me! These Oreo pumpkin mini cheesecakes sound incredible from Crystal and Comp. I think maybe I will make these for Thanksgiving for a change!

How adorable are these dancing skeleton plates! Life is better lakeside bought these 4 years ago from Home Goods! What a score! I love all the details!

Yes I chose two of LIfe is better lakeside Halloween tablescapes. Can there be such a thing as a dreamy Halloween tablescape? I think so! Wait until see where Life is better lakeside set up this haunted tablescape for two! Amazing views!

Karins Kottage Happenings

Life has been busy! When has it not been busy? Last week I shared the Haunted Barbie tablescape that my daughter and I put together. Then we enjoyed a family Halloween party with our grandkids and our adult kids.

Last night we celebrated my daughters 33rd birthday with a family dinner. I swapped out the Barbie things with puzzle pieces.Emily loves to do puzzles. I Kept the black and pink fabric down the center of the center of the table and added lots of colored goblets and napkins. It turned out really cute.

Her sweet hubby and one of her daughters made this puzzle piece cake for her. Emily loved it.

Then we walked around the neighborhood to look at all the Halloween decorations. It was a super fun night.

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • Here in the UK we don't do Thanksgiving of course and I'm not quite ready to think Christmas too much yet so I'm at a inbetweeny stage! I think I'll be ready to start Christmas planning later this week, once halloween is all done.

    • I am going to enjoy the break in between Halloween and Christmas and just enjoy cooking up a storm haha.

  • Karin, Thank you so much for posting 2 of my Halloween Tablescapes this week! I was so thrilled to see the "Dancing Skeleton Tablescape" on your website. Then as I scrolled down to continue I saw that you had also posted my "A Haunted Halloween for the Bride and Groom Bicycling Skeletons" I was doubly excited to see that one too. Thank you so much!!!

    Also, I love the puzzle tablescape for your Daughter's Birthday! I love the way you chose all different goblets of many colors which makes the table so festive! The puzzle cake your granddaughter and son-in-law made is fabulous.
