OK….I got MOST of my Halloween decorating done this week end. Still have a few more touches to add, but
YES, It’s definitely starting to look like the Spooky Fall Season around here. I stumbled across a few more ideas that you might like. This table is from Martha Stewart’s collection of faBOOlous decorating ideas. Go here for details: 

This one is MY FAVORITE……Love the broom with the
flag pennant with guest names written on them to use
at place settings on your fall tables. You can find a step
by step instructions on how to make these at HGTV decorating HERE……And I love, love, love this one…!!! Pretty Black Ribbon Wreath. So charming and seems very easy to make.

Oh how fun……Funny Fanged Pumpkins…!!!
Cute, Cute, Cute….:) Find them Here

Love these creative Party Pumpkins….
 
And check out these Mummy wrapped  Scare Bars….

And if you think Gingerbread Cookies are only for Christmas….think again.   LOVE these adorable sweet fellows…..
 

Find these and more over at Tied Up With String

OK…hope you’ve found a little more Halloween inspiration and ideas.

I have some Great News that I will be sharing here SOON…!!! Until then, Happy Haunting,

Cheers,

OH MY…….!!!!!

October has arrived and it’s time to dig out your SPOOKY décor and frighten up the house a bit…!! So I decided to start this scary season off by sharing a few decorating ideas with you…..BEFORE I head out into the yard to start placing my decorations out for this year, take a look at what we did last year to grab a few ideas for you to use.
This is one of my favorite decorating ideas…….Charming GHOSTS holding hands and dancing around the yard waiting for a fun filled Spooky Night….!!! We bought these from Grandin Road, however I’m sure you can make your own.

Hanging from the upstairs window is this “Shackled Ghost” spotlighted at night to scare off any “Uninvited Guest”….!!!

On the front porch guest are greeted by a Witch and Mummy if you dare to walk by.

Below is a cute “CAKE STAND” turned upside down and filled with pumpkins, pine cones, acorns and other natural elements and topped with a fun Witches Hat…!! A great idea to use something that you already have. Just flip it over……Perch a beautiful candle on top…..OR…..a bowl to hold candies and treats….!!!

Place ribbon adorned dishes around your home filled with candy to much on while passing by. Love the Witch Legs tucked under this treat bowl. 

Using another CAKE STAND……Make a row of Black OR White Roses using tape then sit your favorite pumpkin on top for a CHARMING CENTERPIECE……
I actually made two of these, one with creamy white roses and topped one off with a Crown…..
And one using Black Roses for a Spooky Halloween look.
Just the right touch for my kitchen counter top….!!! Here’s my mantel idea that is fairly simple using white pumpkins, a Halloween garland with black leaves and corn candy with a vintage style BOO BANNER….!!!
And my breakfast room hutch filled with my collection of vintage style accessories.
And sitting by my door, a Black Cat treat bucket waiting for me to fill full of Halloween Treats for friends and family who stop by to visit…..

Be sure to create a nice “Picture Taking” area out side for posing in those fun costumes. This makes a great background to capture your groups of Trick or Treaters and family. Stack a few straw bales for height and top it off with pumpkins, tombstones or anything to add interest to the background.  Then place a bench in front or extra bales of straw for guest to SIT and POSE…..BE sure to get your family pictures first before the night begins….!!!

 
I LOVE areas like this filled with skeletons and bones. This is perfect at the top of your drive, to welcome guest when they stop by. 

Your guest will love walking up to your front porch to be greeted by ghost of the past….Check out Mr. Snaggles here….:)

A giant SPIDER clings to the MUMMY sitting on the porch  to greet anyone who dares to past.

This fun fellow “Raises his Head”…. and Speaks to you as you come down the walk…..

Inside Halloween Hostess’ greet you to hand out your treats.

My daughter’s home is the PARTY PLACE on Halloween Night…With music blaring and lights a blinking…… her door flung open and her FaBOOlous Stairway all decked out with Halloween Bling her guest enjoy Hot Cocoa and Buckets full of Treats….!!!!  Neighbors and friends don’t miss stopping by her Haunted House and it’s where we all gather for a night of FaBOOlous FUN…..!!!!    And this little Trick or Treater says……More…More…More….!!

OK…..my hubby is waiting for ME outside…….to place our Halloween garb out for another fun season of Spook and Charm….  Hope you were able to grab a few decorating ideas when YOU go out to set up YOUR SEASON..!!!

Cheers,
Your Creative Party Hostess,
Dianne
