The loving bones

Bad bones in real life - skulls and skellies for Halloween - even from friends and friends of DH who don't understand my love of the holiday.

                                     the skull that lights from Brooksie

                                       the loving bones couple from J

At 90 degrees there is no frost on the pumpkin today

...although the farmer's wife still looks thrilled at the prospect of Halloween. One of my fave vintage magazine covers. Great doll prop/background also.

The counter and the corner - Halloween version

will moses print, ivan and lucy pillow, vintage games

bowls and prim from Etsy sellers

I simply can't wait - Happy pre-Halloween

The display near the front door - Lizzie Borden-ish.

Whatever happened to ... ????

the annual Mason mugs from Crabtree and Evelyn??? Got serious about collecting the blue and white

lovely(s) a decade ago. Last year (Christmas 2009) none were offered. No one seemed to know what I was talking about. Poof - gone!

So I said it was time for Halloween decorations and...

my friend informed me that many of my decorating displays already look like Halloween??? What?

Not exactly Carl Larsson style

Flowers on the knobs are as Carl Larsson-ish as I can hope to get. Wink.
