Decorating for Halloween (Part 1)

I love Halloween.

I haven't always decorated for it....but since moving into suburbia, with all the little kiddies that go trick or treating...you can't help but get into all the festivities!

We decorate mostly outside for the trick-or-treaters....But over the years...I have collected some cute things that I like to display in the house.I tend to lean towards the vintage side of Halloween and I don't like things that are too scary.

I hung this glittery owl on the mirror that hangs over my buffet with a suction cup...I used cheesecloth that looks like spider webbing over the mirror for a fun effect and also to help hide the suction cup (even though it is clear)



I know you guys have checked out Martha Stewart's Halloween ideas on her website and I did a version of her candy labels. It was super easy to do, just print out labels and glue to jars. The only thing that I did different, is to coffee stain the labels...I thought it made them look more vintage. I used a few different jars: pickle, mayo, jelly, etc....just some that I had around the house. I would have candy in all of them if I would just stop eating it all! I have a serious addiction to Tootsie Rolls...what's with that? And don't get me started with the candy corn....














I hope you have been inspired! Happy Halloween Decorating!Have a great week!
