This Week’s Lovely Features
1. Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups
Oh my goodness… Laura has created the sweetest little pumpkin patch you can eat with a spoon! Chocolate pudding, green sprinkles and little candy pumpkins come together with a tiny handmade sign for an adorable fall treat. Such a fun idea for a party… and the kids can help put their own little patches together!
2. Clay Pot Pumpkin Pie Craft
Leave it to Laura to turn a little clay pot into a pumpkin pie with personality! That ruffled felt crust, smiling face and fluffy whipped cream nose are just too cute… and you can fill it with little treats. I can picture a few of these on a Thanksgiving table or tucked into a cheerful fall tiered tray!
3. Caramel Pumpkin Poke Cake
Pumpkin cake… gooey caramel… fluffy buttercream frosting… do I really need to say anything else??? Tracey is sharing a homemade pumpkin poke cake with caramel tucked down into those little pockets for an extra delicious bite. This looks like a wonderful dessert to share with family and friends on a cozy fall afternoon!
4. Slow Cooker Apple Pudding Cake
If you love a warm apple dessert, Tracey has something lovely waiting for you! Her slow cooker apple pudding cake combines soft cake, tender apples and a sweet cinnamon apple sauce that forms as everything cooks. Add a little whipped cream… grab a spoon… and settle in for some delicious fall comfort!
5. Super Easy Tootsie Pop Ghosts
Here is a little Halloween classic that still makes me smile! Tracey turns Tootsie Pops into adorable ghosts using paper towels, yarn and a marker… simple supplies with such a cute result. Gather a few in a small vase for a little ghost bouquet, then let your guests take one home!
6. Spiced Apple Cider Biscotti
Our friend Cindy is bringing a little autumn goodness to the cookie jar with her spiced apple cider biscotti! She uses apple cider mix to flavor these twice baked cookies, then finishes them with an apple cider glaze. Wouldn’t a few tucked into a pretty bag make a lovely little gift… especially alongside some tea or coffee?
7. Frito Corn Salad with Creamy Tex Mex Dressing
Miz Helen has a colorful, crunchy salad that looks ready for the next potluck… or a casual supper at home! Corn, black beans, peppers and cheese get tossed with a creamy Tex Mex dressing, then topped with Fritos for that delicious crunch. Such a fun change of pace when you want something with plenty of flavor!
8. Coastal Fall Mantel
Penny is showing us that fall decorating can fit right in with the colors we already love! Her coastal mantel combines soft pastels, little touches of orange and pumpkins… with a sailboat in vintage milk glass and even Highland cows at the beach. It is playful, personal and such a lovely reminder to have fun with your home!
9. Masterpieces Magazine Number 09
Pour yourself another little cup of coffee… MaryJo has plenty to share in her September magazine! You will find seasonal decorating, creative pumpkin projects, entertaining inspiration and a peek at what she has been up to. I always enjoy these visits that let us get to know the person behind all those lovely ideas a little better!
10. Flaky Vegan Bunny Pastry Bites
We are taking a tiny bunny break from the pumpkins… because these little cuties deserve a visit too! Esme wraps vegan sausages in puff pastry to create bunny shaped bites, complete with little caper eyes and tahini sauce for dipping. A sweet idea to tuck away for Easter… or a playful snack to make the family smile any time!
11. Mini Halloween Chalkboards
Stephanie is giving little chalkboards a Halloween makeover with paint, felt stickers, gems and a touch of sparkle! Her ghost, pumpkin and bat designs are cheerful little decorations that you can personalize with your own craft supplies. Such a fun project for an afternoon of creating… and just the right size to tuck into a small seasonal display!
12. Pumpkin Peanut Butter Pup Cakes
Of course we couldn’t leave our furry friends out of the fun! Cindy is sharing pumpkin and peanut butter pup cakes topped with a peanut butter yogurt frosting… and an optional little dog treat on top. Such a sweet idea for a doggie celebration… just be sure to use peanut butter without xylitol, as Cindy notes in her recipe!
13. Preparing for Christmas Early
I know… we are still enjoying our pumpkins! But Suchot has some gentle, practical ideas for getting a little Christmas preparation done now so December feels less rushed. From making a gift list to starting one homemade present… her approach gives us permission to take small steps and keep the holidays manageable.
14. It’s in the Details Halloween Outdoor Decor
MaryJo is reminding us how much personality the little details can bring to Halloween decorating! Bats on a wreath, ravens perched in a spooky tree and a ribbon dressed mailbox all help set the scene. I especially love her idea of using garden pieces you already own… then giving them a wonderfully unexpected Halloween role!

Thank you so much, Andrea, for featuring the Flaky Vegan Bunny Pastry Bites and your weekly party.
My shares: #20+21+22
We now have two Linkies: SSPS and TFT. Hope you link up.
Thank you so much for the double feature! What a pleasant surprise and wonderful way to start the weekend. Hope Fall is treating you well and thanks for hosting us. XO- MaryJo
Thank you for featuring my Pumpkin Peanut Butter Pup-cakes and also the Spiced Apple Cider Biscotti! All the Fall food looks so good! I hope you’re not in the crazy weather on both coasts, and staying dry. North of Dallas has bright blue skies, temps in the 80s with humidity in the 20s and nights in the 60s ~ and we deserve it after almost 2 months of triple (or near triple) digits and no rain! I wish it would stay like this all year ~ but it’s not unusual to be similar weather through the Holidays (hope, hope). Catch y’all again next week!
