Halloween

As the summer season comes to an end, the sisters like to celebrate the coming of the darker season, better known as Halloween. "Halloween is a time when creativity can go in other directions than usual," says Anna. "Sometimes it can be a little scary - it's just for fun," Clara chuckles.

In the run-up to Halloween, the sisters prepare all sorts of fun and games. They help their nephew and nieces with homemade costumes, create homemade decorations for both the home and the front door, and bake sweet treats for all the neighbourhood children who will hopefully come by and knock on the door. "Trick or treat!" exclaims the excited nephew, who can hardly wait when he sees the many treats ready to be handed out in baskets. The sisters are even preparing costumes for themselves in the form of witch hats and funny masks. "Won't the little ones be surprised?" Clara smiles to her sister.

At Søstrene Grene, you can find a wealth of costumes and accessories for this year's Halloween party, such as tulle skirts, crowns, masks, hats, and much more. "Mix and match the different costume pieces to create a unique costume," Clara suggests. "Or personalise the costume with hobby articles and a little patience," Anna continues.

Anna and Clara are fond of unleashing their creativity and creating homemade costumes with the expert guidance of their nephew and nieces, who are not shy about making requests for their costumes. "I want to be a witch!" one of the nieces exclaims, and Anna immediately finds her craft supplies. Explore the sisters' ideas for Halloween costumes that you can easily make yourself.

For this purpose, the sisters have carefully gathered a wide selection of creative tools. In the assortment, you will find everything you need to create beautiful and personalised masks, costumes, hats, and much more for this year's Halloween celebrations. "Make the creative moment a cosy time of togetherness," urge the sisters, who like to invite both children and adults to join the creative moment. Whether you need stickers, beads, yarn, paint, decorations, cardboard and paper, or something completely different, you can be sure to find something for everyone at Søstrene Grene.

To create the perfect Halloween atmosphere, Anna and Clara like to decorate their home and front garden. "Let the spookiness create cosiness," Clara chuckles, hoping that the many pumpkins, bats, and ghosts adorning the front door will invite passers-by to explore and maybe even come inside and taste Anna's homemade treats.

While the little ones are out trick-or-treating in the neighbourhood, Anna is at home handing out tasty treats to all the children who ring the sisters' doorbell. She has collected all kinds of wonderful treats for the dear, dressed-up children, and she arranges these treats in homemade trick-or-treat bags. "A practical and mood-setting addition," she adds.

Anna also likes to bake savoury Halloween cakes to serve to her sisters' loved ones. "You can easily transform small muffins into eye-catching Halloween cakes by decorating them with pumpkin icing, lollipop ghosts, or small chocolate spiders," Anna suggests. Among Clara's favourites are the classic, sweet, and crispy apple pie, as well as small meringue ghosts. "The little ghosts are both sweet in flavour and appearance," she notes.

Anna and Clara naturally also offer recipes that are suitable for life's other big and small events, such as summer parties, children's birthdays and Christmas parties. Explore the sisters' wealth of recipes where everyone can join in.

The sisters find great importance and joy in celebrating life's big and small events. "Every gathering is an opportunity for togetherness and hygge with loved ones," Anna believes. "A great excuse to get together," Clara chuckles.
