there are articles all over the web about how to put
together a fun and funky celebration that bring families

terrific tips and examples of readers creativity over the years.

Earlier this week we were asked to put together a
Halloween Luncheon Menu for one of the Queens Malls
for their retail associates meeting.

Décor: black and orange Halloween décor with touches of fall colors
and whimsical Halloween displays with fun and elegant displays
we were thrilled with some of the decorating tips that
martha's site offers especially the shimmerly spray painted
silver pumpkins - have used this technique on artichokes
and what a great idea to spray the pumpkins silver for
a very up-market elegant look
