ART OF A SIMPLE FALL
Capture the spirit of the season with a monster mash of friends and family, soups and spices, and drinks to die for.
HOST A HALLOWEEN PARTY
Gather all your ghouls and goblins for an epic Halloween party. Prepare a ghostly playlist and ready your favorite seasonal movie for a night with friends and family. Easy-to-prepare crescent mummy dogs, curly fries and candy corn set the mood for a freakish feast. Keep decorations simple with spider web netting and black taper candles in brass candle holders. We added a custom-designed chalkboard with a Hocus Pocus Broom Company theme and cut-out bats, along with a miniature skeleton, and an array of porcelain pumpkins for a spooktacular setting. Black serving trays and dinnerware, along with orange and black paper strays complete our Halloween-themed party preparations.
