Halloween plants = Halloween dECOr
Last night my hubby came home with a bouquet of flowers for me in honor of our nine-year anniversary.
While I was touched by the gesture (especially since he remembered to buy organic!), I was excited to find a branch of “Chinese Lantern” tucked inside.
The Chinese Lantern is the coolest plant. It features dainty, paper-lantern-like orange flowers that look gorgeous anytime, but in October – make the perfect fall decor item. Whether used to make entryway garlands, in centerpieces or in a million-and-one other ways, this plant is eco-fabulous.
And if the Chinese Lantern floats your boat, you might also want to check out a “Pumpkin on a Stick” which produces adorable (and edible) little pumpkin-looking fruit!

Love the idea of Green Halloween! Thanks for the tips on Threadbanger! LOVE the mummy and may have to do that one myself!!!
Here is an idea for those of you that burn a candle in your pumpkins…. soy candles are not only toxic free, renewable resource, support the American farmer (not the oil fields in Iraq), burn 45% longer than paraffin… but your children will enjoy making them! My three year old makes candles with me.
A soy candles tea light will burn for about four hours! Perfect for that Halloween pumpkin! A paraffin tea light will only burn about 45 minutes and a paraffin votive is a bit too long burning. Light a soy candle tea light and just let it go without worrying about blowing it out!
Learn to make your own soy creations (great for that green Christmas present as well!!) at http://www.CandleWealth.com/soy4u
Have a Happy Halloween!

Investors can’t think that shopping for when anticipated dividends tend to be reduced along with promoting whenever they are substantial is a good technique. Nevertheless, they will continually continue this conduct.
