Nellie's Halloween Decor

So today I got my couch back ... newly upholstered by my very talented friend Arlene ... and with the extra seating I am all ready for my witch's party the day after tomorrow ... or NOT!

 

Since I am focused on getting things done for the big day ... its good my darling daughter (in-law) Nellie let me snaps pics of her Halloween décor to share, since I have been doing nothing in that direction ...

 

Love her chalk board art, don't you?

 She said she made the fabric pennant banner last year, but this year felt it needed a bit of something ... she found a sheet of scrapbook papers with all these antique postcard images and just cut it up and added them with tiny clothes pins ...

 I love the out come ... how charming.

Well, for now its back to crossing things off the party prep list ... can't wait to share it all with you, next Monday ... Happy Haunting Season!

 

BTW if you want to see more of the talented Nellie, this is the blog post she did today.  

Lovely Autumn Day

 With my witches' party coming up, I am on short order to finish my fall and Halloween décor.

 I could decorate a hundred mantels ... I love it, but the piano needs some festivity too!

 I thought the little picket fence gives the impression of a pumpkin patch! 

I painted my urn black and the pumpkin white to compliment the autumn leaves and complete my Halloween color scheme.

 The sign is a makeover ... just a bit of whimsy to go with my pumpkin patch under glass. Of course kudos are in order to Karen at Graphics Fairy for finding the antique pumpkin that I used.

... and just for fun, I thought I would share the window in my library ... its on the second floor of the house, and with Virginia Creeper growing up the wall outside, it looks amazing when it turns in the fall ... even through the lace curtains.  It makes me smile every time I walk in the room.

Autumn Colors on Display

Just did a new autumn display at the antique mall and thought I would share...

 

 

 The fruit still life sold almost immediately, and was replaced by this lovely autumn scene ...

... and a happy fall to all!
