Happy Halloween!

After sharing the joy of happy autumn celebrations for 10 years in print and on international radio – it’s back with exciting fresh content to add sparkle to your favorite classics with new ideas thrown in for fun. This second edition features new and exciting parties, themes, recipes and decor for everyone who wishes to focus on the positive and fun aspects of harvest and Halloween celebrations. I’m so thrilled to include new party plans like this Halloween Tea in Wonderland, Oktoberfest and a black and white party called The Night Shift.

After touring many of our ancestral areas of Europe, I have a richer appreciation for the many contributions and traditions of our forefathers and mothers there so we added a Deutsch accent with Oktoberfest.

The castle at Coburg where Martin Luther translated the Bible into German in the early 1500s.
Neuschwanstein, one of the many castles built by King Ludwig II. Oktoberfest began at the celebration of his grandparents’ marriage.
Gingerbread hedgehogs greet guests in this Aachen, Germany shop.

Then for the sophisticated retro set, there’s the Night Shift.

A Harvest and Hallloween Handbook Edition 2 contains our favorite content from the original with new recipes, decor and games added to help readers entertain and enjoy autumn get-togethers. Here’s what you can look forward to this fall
