Come Inside...If You Dare

Just as soon as we arrived home from Disney, I enlisted our house goblin (more commonly known as Honey) to scour our spooky, spider filled attic for the Halloween storage bins of yesteryear.  And the very next day, the little ghouls and I headed to the dollar store for a buggy full of supplemental crows and rats before setting work on creating (not so) spooky vignettes all around the house!

Y'all come inside...if you dare.  Bwahahahahaha.

Foyer table with witch's hair, crows, old books and leaves from yard.  Vinyl bats on mirror.  Rat silhouettes on stairs.  Pumpkin shades from Ballard Designs.
Living room vignette.  Pieces acquired over time... mostly from Home Goods.
Dining room table set up with burlap piece, old cloth (dollar store), crows (mostly dollar store), leaves from yard, various books, candle holders and accessories from around house, rats (dollar store) and chalkboard (michaels).

Kitchen table with pumpkins, leaves and crows.  Skeleton chair backs.  Hand glittered bones in apothecary jar (project from a few years back), venticular pictures (dollar store), pillows from Target clearance last year.

Basement table.  Pieces acquired over time.
We just adore holidays around these parts.  You couldn't tell, could ya?
xoxo
