Halloween time in general just exudes a playful, wonderfully fun quality that I think is a good part of the reason it has become so engrained in our culture (in some parts of the world at least) to this very day. It's fabulous with cute, kitschy, and often very beautiful pieces of jewelry like this can tap into that spirit and help it shine all the more through our festive outfits. <br /><br />Tons of hugs & happy Halloween season wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-28247454029728702412016-10-10T03:32:23.138-07:002016-10-10T03:32:23.138-07:00Isn't it though?

Summer's Halloween line this year absolutely, positively knocked my socks off (and as such, I simply had to place a wee order, as one does :)). <br /><br />I hear you there loud and clear. I turn all of October (and really, much of September usually, too) into Halloween season and love that my blog gives me a great outlet through which to further embrace and share my (and many other peoples') unending love for this enchantingly fun holiday. The rest of the year, I live by the #Halloween365 principle and always keep Halloween alive in my heart. It brings me too much joy not to. It's really awesome that you feel the same way, too. <br /><br />Big hugs & joyful All Hallows' Eve season wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-8796305046308638322016-10-10T03:28:46.084-07:002016-10-10T03:28:46.084-07:00Thank you sweetly, dear Elizabeth.

When I lived in Ireland (2004 - 2006), it was starting to gain more (one might almost say, ironically, given that so many elements of Halloween have their roots firmly planted in Ireland itself) traction there, with decor and some candy in certain shops. Even in Dublin though, trick-or-treating wasn't that big yet, which was quite the cultural shock to me (especially given that I was just 20 in 2004 and had, myself, been trick-or-treating each year of my life until the age of 16; a time and memory that was still bracingly fresh in my mind at that point). I can't speak to if Halloween has continued to grow in popularity there since we left, but I seriously hope that it has and that it continues to spread far and wide across the UK and Europe (and the whole world!) in general. <br /><br />Wishing you and your family a fun filled and fabulous All Hallows' Eve season! <br /><br />xoxo ♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-69227247818358464642016-10-10T02:30:42.623-07:002016-10-10T02:30:42.623-07:00*Huge smiles* :) You are so very welcome, my fello...*Huge smiles* :) You are so very welcome, my fellow Halloween adoring lady. I had a very strong feeling that you'd been keen on this post. It was uber tempting for me to go on a shopping spree while penning it, but alas, I behaved (especially after all of the recent costs involved with our trip to Edmonton and with Christmas just a matter of weeks away) and only ordered a small number of new Halloween jewelry items for myself this time around (including some from Erstwilder's festive line, as they usually sell out at the speed of light). <br /><br />Thank you!

It's wonderful that you embrace autumn a great deal as well. Is Halloween and/or All Souls Day observed at all in Serbia? Would you ever want to experience a full on North American All Hallows' Eve first hand, my sweet friend? <br /><br />I so wish that as well! Why, oh why, hasn't Star Trek style teleportation (or a mind blowingly fast form of airline travel) been invented yet. It would be immensely fun and meaningful to celebrate some of these beautiful fall days together.

Hopefully you'll be able to solder (or glue) it back into place. <br /><br />Fingers crossed that you don't run into that situation. Given that I'm allergic to nickel (you can of course get nickel-free belly rings, but still) and have super sensitive skin in general, despite being wildly tempted in my younger days, I've never had my belly button pierced. If I safely could, I definitely would. It's such a fun, playful piercing. <br /><br />Wishing you endless good luck with both of your planned piercings, dear gal.<br /><br />Many hugs,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
