Our fall mantel...
My husband calls it "Halloween Eclectic"...
I'm pretty sure he was saying that in a "trying to be nice" sort of way.
Whatever. I don't expect him to understand me ;)
But I kinda like it :)
Just a little bit spooky...
I got some branches off a tree outside and then added some tissue paper flowers to jazz them up a bit :) I threw in a few orange "faux berries" to add a little colour. The little frames were a thrift shop purchase that I painted black and stenciled the numbers onto white cardstock. The little ghostie faces were just free hand cutouts that I glued to some grey damask paper.
There's just something a little creepy about crows, right?
Although my little Finn loves them and thinks they're hilarious.
He was completely delighted to find a little posse of them inside our living room!
The crows were from Michaels (on sale...yay!) and so were the little birdcages ($1.50 each)
The "BOO" was just cut out freehand from black card stock and then taped to the mirror, along with the little black crow that appears to be sitting on top of the "31" frame.
We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday.
Always one of my favourite outings!
LOVE the grey and white pumpkins!
Then we lit the candles and turned down the lights.....so cozy and spooky at the same time :)
Our little Westham Island Herb Farm Pumpking Patch...
Dustin and I have a dream of owning a place like this one day :)
All organic veggies and herbs, pumpkin patch, hay rides....can't beat it!
My littlest pumpkin in the pumpkin patch...
The "big boys" doing the grunt work.
Don't you just love fall? :)
Linking up to Cottage and Vine , Stories of A 2 Z and The Nester's fall parties.
It's cute! But how on earth do you keep you boys off of it? Keeping my little guys out of the decorations is really holding me back right now.
