Fairtrade Felt Decorations for Halloween

Fairtrade Felt Decorations for Halloween

If you've popped into our beautiful Brighton store in the last couple of weeks you'll have no doubt noticed we've had a bit of seasonal makeover, embracing all things Autumn and celebrating what has to be my favourite festival of the year, Halloween.

A tradition whose origins trace back to an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain when bonfires were lit and costumes worn to ward off the threat of ghosts, the modern day Halloween provides a great excuse to decorate the house, celebrate all things spooky and of course eat at least half of the sweets the kids have collected out trick or treating!

Some of my most treasured memories of Christmas are waking up (at some ungodly hour) to find a filled stocking at the end of my bed.......before being promptly returned back to bed because it was little after 3am! After one unsuccessful very creaky floorboard attempt here several years ago, stockings are now hung on the fireplace where sensitive little ears are far less likely to catch me out and getting up time might squeak post 6am if we're lucky!

Christmas Trees....

Does yours go up in November or do you leave it until Christmas Eve?

Do you plump for an opulent artificial tree or spend hours walking through a forest of fresh trees desperately seeking THE ONE?

However and whenever you kickstart Christmas this year (for us its always the first weekend in December) we have the most gorgeous range of tree decorations for the festive season ahead with well over 100 hanging tree decorations in addition to fabulous garlands and wreaths.
