Our tribute to the classic Carnival comestible: the Caramel Apple! Red and green apple accords sweetened with white and brown sugars, dipped in warm caramel and dotted with mini marshmallows, all upon a sturdy stick of teakwood. You know what they say: a caramel apple a day keeps the scary clowns at bay, so munch and crunch away!

 

Whether you eat them dressed up with various candied additions or simply as they are - glistening and golden straight from the dipping - caramel apples are one of the most delicious ways to enjoy Autumnal observances: from the County Fair to Halloween to Guy Fawkes Day...crunchy, sticky and sweet, it can't be beat! Magically-speaking they are also an inspired pairing, granting love and luck to all who partake!

 

APPLE ~ Love, healing, fertility, good luck , happiness, immortality, fortelling spells.
SUGAR ~ Attracts love, luck, sweetness and riches. Lust inducing, wishes granted.
MARSHMALLOW ROOT ~ Fertility, happiness, creativity, increase in psychic awareness, intuition, love, protection, exorcism. Gently commanding and persuading.
TEAKWOOD ~ Longevity, bonding, weathering all conditions, endurance.

Carnival Collection, September 2016

 

Passing through these gates you will find much
to amaze and amuse.
As the sun goes down our lights come up
the music plays -
the song of thrills and chills and titillating mysteries to reveal.

We have games! And fun! And food! And unusual sights to behold!
Take a chance, dare to dream
discover your heart’s desire
or a momentary distraction from the mundane humdrum.
Whatever the reason - do come, please come
all you good people far and wide
enter and experience our unique revelry.
Let us take you away from your cares and woes
and add a little magic to your life.

For we promise such wonderment and delight
so then upon this Autumn night
of full moon and fallen leaves and shadows stretching tall...
Come one, come all!
Come to our Carnival!

 

A tradition much beloved by us here at LPMP is the Fall Carnival: a final farewell to the carefree joys of Summer - as the light begins to wane earlier each day and the weather turns brisk - it’s one last time for frolic and fun. Our 2016 Carnival Collection pays tribute to the sights, sounds, and smells of an old-fashioned traveling carnival...its’ colorful characters and delicious treats, all the unique delights one can only experience amidst the excitement on a September eve, with a chill in the air and the haunting music of a distant calliope...
