New Goodies on the Halloween Pantry

This Halloween the dry goods pantry acquired a few

new additions and inherited a few old ones.

In the past I would decorate the old 

computer armoire with Halloween nick knacks

and a black cat runner.

But we gave it away this year 

in favor a much larger computer desk.

So I had to integrate its items into other

displays. One being the dry goods pantry...

I added in the Fiesta pumpkin candle holders

with skeleton tapers, the Fiesta black cat bowl, and 

the black cat and pumpkin runner.

It sort of has a "Blair Witch" feel with 

the skeleton candles acting like creepy 

sentinels guarding the witch's house.

Not sure I like that.

This wide shot shows the new plate Sam 

and I found at Hobby Lobby this year.

As well as this new country farm themed 

framed picture from Kirkland's called 

"Pumpkins for Sale" by Billy Jacobs.

It really gives the whole scene 

an eerie farm country vibe.

I moved last year's smaller country picture 

up behind the Fitz and Floyd 

"Halloween Harvest Dracula"  

Now it feels like he's out in the country too.

After some thought, I decided to lighten the 

mood of the pantry scene, so I switched the

skeleton candles to 

the dining table with the apothecary candy jars,

and the Dept 56 crows in party hats

and corn taper candles to the pantry.

 

It now has a much lighter, more whimsical, feel  

and the corn and crows still incorporate 

seamlessly into the farm theme.

Come on, they're crows in party hats! 

How fun is that!

Dracula got a friend to join him too...

the Fitz and Floyd "Halloween Harvest 

Cat and Pumpkin" S&P shakers.

I think they scale better next to Dracula, 

 they looked huge next to the house cookie jar.

So, what do you think?

Would you have kept the creepy, or do you like 

the whimsical Halloween scene?

Thanks for stopping by and

happy haunting!
