Between Naps on the Porch: Decorating for Halloween

Oct 20, 2009

Decorating for Halloween

The countdown is on!

Only 11 days until scary creatures begin arriving at your home. You'll hurry to the door, finding your way by the light of a ghostly glow.

Witches, ghosts and goblins, they'll all come calling...

Taunting , with that old familiar greeting...

Trick or Treat?

Don't know about you, but this year...I'm definitely going for "Treat!"

Happy Halloween!

Chalkboard witch, Halloween wall decals, pumpkin/cinnamon scented candle, mortar/pestle treat bowl and ghost night light provided by Colonial Candle. Candelabra is by Fitz and Floyd, purchased around 27 years ago.
