Lanterns! It's not quite halloween, but here's some we made earlier

Setting aside the fact that it is getting colder, and we're heading towards winter, we still love this time of the year. With "the nights fair drawing in" it is time to get the house all cosied-up. We have a fair few vintage pieces of lighting, especially lava lamps, to help warm up the look of the house, but this is a great way to light up your life in October - the Jack-O-Lantern. We made these ones a few years back now. Every year we try to get a bigger pumpkin than last - you need to be quick though, there are many out there with the same idea. The supermarkets are usually brimming with pumpkins throughout October, but if you like a nice drive in the countryside, there are usually farmers selling pumpkins direct to the public.
