Tricked Out with Treats
Hosting a Halloween party doesn’t have to drive you batty, thanks to some tips from Katie Bolton of Vestavia Hills. Here, she’s tricked out her table with plenty of treats – candy corn, cookies and simple-to-make brownies – and mixed in an appealing brew of fresh and potted flowers, squash and pumpkins. A friendly witch supervises the festivities. See Home, page 24. For fun Halloween Happenings, see About Town, page 4.
