Halloween

I swear, it seems like Halloween has been coming forever this year. I dilly and dallied around and didn't think I would ever get my Halloween stuff out this year, now it's been out awhile and we still have a week to go.  Before we know it, it will be time to take it all down, muddle around for a few weeks and then Ba-ling out the house with Shiny Brites and Putz houses and PINK trees!  :D  But, until then, Halloween is still on the way.
Top of my favorite cabinet - Gurley candles in a cloche, silly things abound.  Love that Jack O' Lantern on a Pedestal.  I prefer vintage, but vintage inspired is okay too.
My Halloween Tree.  This is the first year I have had a Halloween tree and I love it!  I had miscellaneous things to put on it, but participating in Sarah's Halloween Swap really helped fill it up.  I like the white tree and think things "pop" on it better than a black tree.

One of my glittered party hats fits on top just perfect and adds a quirky bit of fun. 

Fun stuff.  Quirky stuff.  Old stuff.  New stuff.  Picture of Baby Bean in the Pumpkin Pile. 

I don't like the creepy scary side of Halloween, but this is my attempt at a "scary" display.  Ouja Board, old Poison Bottles, spiders, scary photos and happy fun noisemakers.  Well, I tried.  I just had to add some happy in there.

Goodies on the shelf.  Love those silhouettes - you can print your own here: Halloween Printables.
Little stuff on the old grate.  Photos of my Mom and her brothers trick or treating, gifts from friends.


Mish mash of leftovers when I was getting tired.  :) I found that mercury pumpkin and tall foil cat this summer.
I kind of always forget that the lamp is full of Christmas Ornaments, so that sort of blows the whole Halloween theme.  Oh well.  That pumpkin was white, but I glittered it last week.  I used a cutting board that is for crafting only, but it must have rubbed against the good cutting board, because I noticed that tonight our celery was glittery. 

Happy Halloween!

  3. LOVE your Halloween displays!! We are very low key when it comes to holiday decorating these days. I used to go all out, but my guys are scrooges and complained too much so I packed the majority of it away and only have little accents out here and there. So thanks for sharing yours with me! :)

  5. I love it all! I have been wanting an old Ouija board forever (I look at every thrift I wander into) and am now considering just making one. I think it looks fabulous with your "creepy" things!

    I, sadly, only put up two items. One is a new (vintage) pumpkin I thrifted over the summer (that never got put away) and a blowmold pumpkin and cat I have. Lyndon (my youngest) found an anatomical model in my office and decided we needed to add it (and I must say it looks great! The boy inherited his mom's junky genes). I also placed owls here and there. To me, it all looks a bit bare.

    Can't wait to drool over your Christmas displays!
