All That's MY Halloween

Halloween.  Fall.  Orange.  Oh, how I love all that is Halloween and beyond (like Thanksgiving.)
The mantle is my own little space to nod to the seasons.

Black and Orange Sparkle Tulle
I will only have to remove it, along with the rats, for Thanksgiving!

Okay.  I have to remove the banner and the Spooky, and turn the pumpkin stick around, too.
And maybe the broom and rat...

Got this wonderful orange paper and metal garland from

Then There is the Dining Room

My Pet Rats came from www.TheGraphicsFairy.com

I printed out the FREE graphic onto nice matte photo paper with my ink jet printer.  Then I soaked it in leftover coffee.  Then I dampened the left edge and tore toward me, to mimic that the image had been torn out of a book.  I curled the lower right corner around a fat pen I had right next to me.  Stuck the dried image into the mirror.

This is a wonderful Free Standing Lace Embroidery Design from www.EmbLibrary.com
I just sprayed a light layer of 505 Temporary Adhesive spray to attach to the shade.

Cream Cheese Block, Trimmed into a coffin.  The leftover trims became the Ghost!
EmilyGs.com Red Zinfandel Jam completed the look.  It is SO yummy!

I could go on, and on...  Here's to dark, starry nights with the moon grinning down, the smell of wood fires burning, the sound of crunchy leaves underfoot,
and the chance to feel the magic that is all around us.  In a good way.
