Halloween and Scarecrows

I only do a little Halloween decorating. I don't like scary Halloween, just cute Halloween. I have a few vintage look cute Halloween decorations. This year I bought the Halloween post card at TJ Maxx. The little kids behind the fence on it remind me of the ones (below) I have used the last few years.
This year I have them displayed on top of my doll curio cabinet in our family room. I found the ragged black cheesecloth at Dollar Tree.

The large candy corn pieces are glass.

I love these little Trick or Treaters!

See the one on the left side, he has candy corn tied on a stick!

How cute is that??

I framed the Mary Englebreit witch a few years ago!

Okay, now I'll share a little secret with you. The vignette above is the second one I did in the past few days. I started with using the Halloween post card in the background:

I just wasn't pleased with the look:

So, it went from this:

To this:

I had forgotten about the little framed witch, so I added it and it gave the added height needed.

The wooden Halloween post card was moved down to the wicker trunk at the end of the sofa, right beside the curio cabinet.

Don't you think this one looks better?


I have my scarecrow collection displayed on top of the TV armoire this year.

It's so hard to get good pictures because of those very high windows behind!

It's usually better to wait till dark and use the flash.


Yesterday I posted last year's tablescape using these scarecrows.

This welcome sign (above) sits on top of the TV

The scarecrow tassel hangs from the TV armoire door knob.

I carried out the scarecrow theme in the family room

The top of the antique clock has a vignette.

The CD holder has little scarecrows tucked in here and there.

The pic using the flash is probably better!

The flower pot scarecrows, and light bulb scarecrow are on the kitchen counter.

I tucked in faux fall leaves and cute little scarecrow picks to make this floral arrangement more fallish.

On the end table beside the easy chair!

I thought the flash would show the colors better, but it was too much.

Would you like some candy corn or pumpkin candy?

I almost forgot to show you the wooden Jack-0-Lantern I found at Ross recently. It has a tin witches hat on. I decided to use this one instead of a real pumpkin, as I can't eat pumpkin now and don't want to just throw it away. This one will save from year to year!

Our entryway.

Sometimes "Jack" sits on the bench, but it's supposed to rain today, so I have him under the sheltered area.


I still have more fall decorating to share, but since this is getting long, I'll do more another day!

TTFN!

Happy Halloween!

New Fall Decor

I have been doing a little fall decorating and want to share with you! I did run into a bit of trouble with the photography since we're experiencing a tropical depression here in Fl and it's been cloudy and raining for two days. It's difficult to get good pictures with bad lighting.

This is our foyer.

I like to change the decor on the hall tree with each season. I didn't mean to show the umbrella stand in the picture above, but decided to leave it so the two pictures will also show up.

I kept it simple with only a few fall touches.

I keep this little sign on the hall tree at all times.

I also use it as my blog banner, as I hope all who visits my blog are blessed.


The bottom of the hall tree has a vignette of beaded pumpkins.
I purchased the tall pumpkin at TJ Maxx recently. I was happy to find it since I had seen a white one on someone's blog and loved it!

I had to use the flash and the beads on the pumpkins pick up a lot of the light causing them to look shiny (they don't shine!)

I'm enjoying this simple welcome in our foyer

You may remember this pretty lantern I purchased recently at Hobby Lobby with a birthday gift card. (Click here to see more.)

I dressed it up with faux fall leaves

I'll never light the candle, so I put leaves inside as well

This lantern sits on a low curio cabinet in the dining room. The dining room is just past the foyer, on the right.

The vignette below is on an end table beside the sofa in the family room:
The large wire platter is upright on a plate stand. A gold mercury glass bowl of beaded fruit is in front of it, with a small bird to the side.



I will share more pictures of fall decor, throughout the house, in the next few days.
I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my fall decor. I will also soon share a little Halloween decorating and my scarecrow collection.
