Happy Spooktacular Halloween

Hello! I know it's only September, but I've been in Halloween mode since September started!!

Although I don't really do anything for Halloween, it is one of my top 2 favourite holidays that I look forward to every year. As a kid and early teens, I used to go trick or treating, but then I stopped when I was about 15-16. I live in a neighbourhood where many families don't celebrate Halloween but for those that do, it can range from them going all out, to the ones who give out chips only haha (guilty). Other nearby neighbourhoods had better crowds, especially when a new neighbourhood was built, so eventually, the amount of trick-or-treaters dwindled down too. Nowadays, trick-or-treaters go to the more popular neighbourhoods while my neighbourhood is pitch black on Halloween. :(

But that doesn't kill my Halloween spirit deep down. Although I paused it a bit when I was in school, ever since I joined the workforce as a permanent full time corporate worker, I've been getting more involved in Halloween events, such as costume contests, pumpkin carving contests, recesses, quizzes, and more.

Not many people want to volunteer for this stuff since it's easier to be a participant than to be the organizer haha.

Anyways, the whole reason why I even wanted to post here was because I wanted to share this super cute purchase that is related to this holiday. So essentially, I was on the look out for sweaters for my stuffed bear last year, and I came across an Etsy seller that made the cutest sweaters. Although I only found this shop after I made a separate sweater purchase, so I ended up not buying it...until this year. I admit, I literally thought about this sweater for the past year, so I figured that I would buy it this year.

This Etsy shop is called usefulandbeautiful and I love the sweaters that she makes! What I especially love is the descriptions she wrote for the items. You can check it out for yourself. :)

I think I waited for ~2-3 weeks before my package arrived! I literally checked the mail daily in anticipation lol. The package had cute cat Canada Post stamps and the contents were: sweaters, bracelet, necklace, and other small items. The packaging itself was well thought out and I can feel the effort she put into this aesthetically pleasing look, so I'm keeping these forever.

Here is what the overall package contained!

Here's what my Berry Bear and Bean look like in them:

Super cute!!

Overall, I love it so much. I am glad I went with the bigger size :) So excited for Halloween this year!
