The countdown is officially ON, & I couldn’t be more excited!!! I love seeing the neighbourhood lined with decorations upon decorations of a spooky, grotesque nature… but today, I decided to go the more cute, DIY route with this pumpkin candy jar… not TOO cute though, seeing as it’s a sizzling witch caldron… it IS still Halloween after all!

Fill this Pumpkin Cauldron Candy Jar with all of your treats for the kiddos on Hallows Eve for a brand new take on the standard candy jar!
