Yes, it's that time of year, and we have been
having fun decorating for the last couple of
weeks, just an hour of so a day.
You know how it is, you think you are
done and then you get another idea, so
you putter some more.
Beaulah was rattling around down in the
holiday room, so once she comes out to play,
there is no stopping us.
We didn't do a lot last year, so it has been
really fun to decorate this year.
My friend called me last year and said
she had found these two fabulous floor
candelabras for only $25 each. She
thought of me and my love for Halloween
right away so she called.
Of course I grabbed them. This is the first time
they came out, and I just love them. I had to
get all new electric tapers with a remote control.
Twisting 40 tapers on and off just wasn't going
to cut it. It is so nice to just press a button.
I have had this fun rocking horse from
Home Goods,
which I grabbed at Christmas last year,
on my mantel all year and I
really didn't want to take him down.
Well, just a few ribbons and a
black pumpkin and he fits right in.
The black garland and garland with balls I
have had for years, but I added the beaded
garland this year from Amazon. I just saw
the same exact beaded garland selling at
a boutique for triple the price.
I hung this little mirror which I got from
Target a few years ago.
The best Halloween silk flowers with creepy
eyeballs are from Dollar Tree.
Each side of the mantel is adorned with some
Halloween ribbon. I love being able to just
tuck the ribbon or bead garland up and
twist a piece of the black garland to keep
them in place.
Here's a view from the balcony above.
I just finished my Halloween playlist
yesterday and had the music playing
when hubby got home. I love that
he gets into the decorations too.
It's been a crazy busy fall already with two
new babies and 6-7 football games a
week, but there is nothing we would rather
be doing than supporting these
wonderful kids and grandkids.
Thanks for stopping by to see what
Beaulah and I have been up to. We
will post the rest of the house later.
I will post this with
