    Hi Joy! As usual, everything looks so great! I love love love the display on your mantel! It looks just like a spooky graveyard! And that flying witch silhouette is very cool! I think I have the same two pumpkins with "spooky" and "boo" hanging on them but mine are orange. Did you paint them? Look forward to seeing the living room!

    How stinkin' cute does that all look? I love it all especially your bookshelves. Really looks good. I almost bought that black witch with the moon thing at HobLob. I was just waiting for it to go down in price. I hope it is still there.

    Are these decorations collected over the years, of do you find end of the season bargains and save them for next year? It looks very good.

    Are those wrought iron gates on your mantle? Whatever they are, they are beautiful, in a spooky way! Do you always have them up there and just change the decor around them?

    ReplyDelete
  65. ShirleeOctober 7, 2008 at 9:56 AM

    The mantle looks great decked out with spooky houses and trees. The iron piece behind it all is perfect. Reminds me of a gate on the grounds of a haunted house.
    I love the witch in the last picture. She's very cool.
    Have a great day Joy!
