Here at Calico Laine we are busy preparing for the upcoming autumn and winter months - a period which always proves to be our busiest year after year. Now the kids are back at school we are starting to think about our autumn and winter celebrations and of course we are all starting to get excited about the Christmas period. However, before we find the festive season upon us once again we have Halloween to look forward to. A Halloween party or celebration is the perfect excuse for a get together with family and friends and is an enchanting time of year for both adults and children alike. Not only is Halloween a fun and festive celebration it is also the perfect time of year for showcasing your creative talents. Celebrated every year on October 31st, Old Hallows Eve is an ancient, traditional festival marked with spooky celebrations and activities such as jack-o-lanterns, trick or treat and duck apple. It is thought that the tradition of dressing up on Halloween stems from the ancient ritual of wearing masks and costumes to ward off evil spirits. Halloween is the ideal time of year to get your kids interested in a new creative hobby such as crafts and sewing.
