I love Halloween AND I love to share adorable ideas for decorating and entertaining! So just the other day my mom was telling me about some clever holiday displays that one of her friends had created in her home. A friend, by the way, that has some of the cutest ideas ever…but she’s so far away from me! But then I thought…my mom could go take some photos so I could share some of this sweet inspiration! Thank goodness for technology…(even though my mom and myself communicating with it is like the blind leading the blind!)…but many text attachments later, I had a gallery of images to share! So here it is…a simple holiday display to swoon over!
ready, set, here comes Halloween!
i absolutely adore simple displays! and it doesn’t hurt that this lovely home has a wonderfully neutral background to highlight the holiday! when you step up onto the front porch, guests are greeted with Halloween charm…
a wheel barrel of pumpkins & gourds is guarded by this wise old owl and his batty friends!
naturally simple!
and once inside…Halloween enchantment! i love the way the bats fly out of the urn and toward the stairs…
and how cute are the risers adorned with some sneaky spiders!?
a cluster of birch branches is a favorite spot for some spooky visitors…i love this!
little details…
a peg hook is adorned with a whimsical bat(which is really an apron!)…and another spider–sneaking up behind her!
…looks about like i do when i see the real creepy crawlers! none the less, spiders are just right for adding a little bit of “spooky”…and i love the way they look in these displays! i certainly hope you were as inspired as i was! october is almost here…
let’s get ready for Halloween!
tomorrow i’ll be at the annual Fall Festival at the Ottawa Hills High School! if you’re in the area stop by and see me in the marketplace! there’s lots to do with the whole family so make sure to check it out–see my event’s page for more info!
