Halloween Treats from the UK!

Earlier this month I had a great big box of Halloweenie treats to ship off to Helen. It was just under a hundred to ship, which I knew in advance, but what I didn't know was that these god damn tariffs apply to gifts as well. So Helen would have to fork over forty-five bucks to get a box full of candy from the states. I was livid. I can't make her pay all that just to receive a gift. It's madness. I texted her to let her know what happened, in case she said "YES!! I will pay triple that cost for American candy corn!!!" But she said to forget it. Then last night I stopped over to Mum's and there was a wee parcel for me from Ms. Helen. Is she the sweetest gal or what?!

Here's what I was gonna send: 



And this was from Helen:




Happy Spooky Season, Lisa!
Please enjoy this postcard of the dungeon mannequins at Bamburgh Castle. It was the weirdest one I could find! Also, I hope you don't mind that I've sent you a few bits and bobs. I saw the pumpkin slippers, and needed them right away. And then I thought "why not be slipper twins with Lisa!?" 

The candles are my fave IKEA tealights in smoky vanilla. 
I thought I would have more to right on this side of the card... 
Anyhow, enjoy the cosy season to the max!
With love from Your Slipper Twin (Helen)
P.S. The pumpkin polaroid is also a fridge magnet! x





Keepin' m'feetsies toasty in Cleveland Heights during Halloween week, thanks to Helen!
