After ”Trick or Treat”-ing in Witch's costume, it's already November...
October was really warm and we could go around pumpkin lit houses confortably without thick underwear. 

If you didn't see cafe an-an witches in action, here are some photos.
Thanks BOO for those lovely photos.
Pumpkin Tarts and spooky cupcakes were popular. Eye ball Yokan (white bean jelly in Green tea or Chocolate flavor) was also well received.
