I can't believe how fast October is going by. It's been about to slip away, but just for the fun of it, I had to add some whimsical Halloween decor to our home.... for October....and for memories sake.
Our sons are grown with wives and children of their own, but Halloween was always a fun time around here when they were little, and trick or treat was always part of their Halloweens. My husband and I went trick or treating when we were kids too.... it was house to house in neighborhoods, and bags filled with candy of a large variety....so I always like to bring out some fun things this time of the year related to Halloween. Do you do any decorating for Halloween?
Of course, my sweet George wanted to help me decorate with pillows, but after pulling them out, he's not sure which ones he likes best.....
But I think he's decided on these and he's gonna call it a day....
The vintage Disneyland record was a recent $1 estate sale find....with it being so close to Halloween, I couldn't pass it up....
I also couldn't resist adding this old Halloween photograph that was taken in 1970, of my husband, when he was 3 years old.... he was getting ready to go trick or treating to get candy, with his brother and sister, (he's the little one in the photo)....
It's Priceless.....
It was time for Emma's nap, she was tired because she'd been helping me with another of my upcoming posts....but she told me to tell you hello....
I added a few ceramic jack-0-lanterns to the front porch. I've had these for several years, they were $3 finds, for all 3, at a thrift shop. I turn them around to the plain side and use them after Halloween too.
On the mini-home front (the dollhouse)...I finished painting the mini pumpkins that I made from clay...
And the apples I ordered were out of stock, so I may make some....or wait until apples are out of season for dollhouses, and then order some, later on....I'll have some for next year maybe...lol!
I have been wanting to make some curtains for the dollhouse soon, hopefully I will this winter. It shouldn't be too hard to do with lace or gingham ribbon.....
The vintage inspired sign is from Dollar Tree and I think I picked it up last season, or the season before.
Well, that's how things are looking right now for October. I'll change it up a little bit again in November, and add a few pilgrims, and turkeys. I want to simplify things more at the beginning of November to make it easier when I begin decorating for the upcoming Christmas season. It will be here before we know it. I am looking forward to it!
Thanks for visiting!
Until next time....
Stay creative and have a beautiful day!
