Halloween Decorations - Page 2

I've been thinking......I may have to go back to my email from Vermont and order their Halloween tin of licorce candy. Know it won't be free shipping because under $65, but I don't care. It is good candy and having one or two pieces every day won't upset me.

We had lunch at Cracker Barrell today & it was like walking a gauntlet trying to get to the bathroom past all the halloween things talking , moving, laughing , lighting up, jumping out at me etc.

@151949......wish there was a Cracker Barrel near where I live. One of my friends lives out where there is one, and when we were both younger and able, we would go there once in a while. Always loved walking through there when we were finished eating and before paying....just in case...lol Remember the milk glass items they sold.....like the ones that used to be sold on QVC before they closed their factory. Thought they had a nice selection of things as gifts.

And my gosh, the candies they sold.

@ShowMe I love licorice, red mostly..have ALWAYS loved licorice (black, red & some of the fruit flavors)....I found a really great licorice made in Australia on Amazon...It is Darrell Lea and you can buy different flavors. I have to watch my sugar intake so I have to limit my daily amount when I order it...my favorite is the strawberry--it is much better than Twizzlers!

@ScarletDove......many moons ago, like in the late 50's, when I had my first job. It was downtown....and I had to walk through Famous Barr (dept. store) to get to the bus stop. They had an excellent candy dept. One of my favorite licorice candies from there was a peppermint licorice hard candy they sold. Not very often, but I would buy about 1/2 pound of it. It did last a long time. And was it delicious.

Have never cared for any strawberry licorice....don't know why, but it was the Twizzler kind.

I may have to get on Amazon and check the Darrell Lea out.

Ok, going to go get my supper started. My baseball game starts in about an hour and want to have that behind me.

Thanks for reminding me to look in on the goodies at The Vermont Country Store, @ShowMe. I love many of the older candies!! ❤️

Like @Preds and others here... we used to decorate for Halloween when the kids were small. My DD especially went all out. Even hosted her prepared Haunted Barn and corn field maze, here on the property for many years. Kids would come by the car loads out here in the country. Don’t see many trick or treaters any more. The schools and churches have parties, so they wear their costumes to those.

I've already begun to decorate the house and porches for Autumn, though. Will leave those up until after Thanksgiving. 🍁

Enjoy your treats, all! 🎃 I’m suddenly jonesing for a Mallo-Cup!

I never did Halloween decorations, I do a Falll or Harvest theme and I keep it up through Thanksgiving.

@ShowMe We all have different kinds of specialty candies in our local communities that were very popular when we were young, and I do remember back in the 50's for those great candies and the wonderful memories that go with them. Some of those wonderful treats have survived, others not. The best ones here in the DC area were called Velatis Candies, they were popular at holiday time...I would go with my Mom to downtown DC and stand in line waiting to get Velatis....they had soft and hard caramels, sugaries, some with marshmallow and you could hear them using the little hammers to break up the candies to pack in the boxes to order...they started in 1860's, still around, still the same original candy recipe... I still get Velatis, very special!

Well, I've had my supper. Two eggs and toast, plus a nice cup of V8 juice for my veggies. Later I will have a drumbstick.

Am watching the game too. Second inning, and we are tied. Tigers have a man on 3rd, and 2 outs. Looks like it will be a tough game.

ShowMe · ‎09-06-2010

@ScarletDove......those are happy memories to have. I'm going to google them and see what they have. Am sure they will have something I would like and may have to place an order with them.

Love that part of the country. My mother's family was from Baltimore and made a couple of vacations out that way....and did get to DC. Went to the WH when Julie Nixon was a greeter to visitors. The White House was so beautiful then, and it still is.
