Halloween at Whole Foods

Whole Foods is based out of Austin, so there is a HUGE store downtown that we stopped at for dinner last night.  After we ate we wandered through the store admiring all of the fun things they have for Halloween.  My favorite finds were in the floral department:


Not a great picture (store lighting + iPhone + daughter leaning on you = this is as good as it is going to get) but these were mini pumpkins on a vine.  That is what they called them at least.  Not sure what they really were.

These are Chinese lanterns and they are the perfect shade of orange for a Halloween centerpiece:


I could have stayed in the floral department all day:


But we headed over to the bakery, so it wasn't too painful:


They used a large sliver of chocolate as a tombstone.  Perfect and delicious.  Plus I love the simple orange frosting pumpkin on the cupcake to the left.  And then of course there is the dead tree made from chocolate as well:


And it took every ounce of self control I had not to go back to the front desk and beg for this:


It is made completely out of paper and is so amazing.  If you have a Whole Foods, you should go check out all of the fun stuff they have on display for Halloween.  If you don't have one you should come visit mine!

I just discovered Whole Food here in Portland. Two different stores. Loved it. Found some good stuff for the hubby's new diet. And a good sale on Pop Chips! (love those things).
