Festooning The Walls With Halloween

When Autumn arrives, I deck the walls with garland

full of fall leaves and berries.

It's the same 13 year old garland we bought

to decorate the tables at

our wedding reception in October 2000.

It breaks in a new place every year so I use

green floriest wire to mend it back together.

 

During October, it easily turns more festive

when I use ornament hooks to hang retro

Halloween die cut decorations

from the swags.

It really adds a great pop of color,

and saves on tape!

 I fell for this Cat and Jack O' Lantern garland

 after seeing it on Pumpkin Rot's Blog

as one of his HomeGoods finds.

I was thrilled to have found one for myself

at T.J.Maxx a year later!

 

It's made of quilted felt and really quite nice.

Speaking of HomeGoods,

Sam and I found this great Owl vase there

during the summer.

I thought instantly of putting it up on the

pot shelf at Halloween.

Because Sam won't let me

buy something if I don't have a

good place figured out for it to go.

I can't believe how great its color matched

the smiling cat sign that I've had for years.

 

Hope you're having a great Halloween season.

 

Thanks for popping in

and

Happy Haunting!
