Greetings!
I am so happy to see that many of my fellow bloggers are starting to decorate for Halloween. Some them seem a bit apologetic about it. I am (almost) never sorry about decorating early. I had to physically restrain myself from dragging out the tubs before September 1. The colors of fall make me so happy...when the pops of orange and black start appearing in stores I get downright giddy. Some stores are so slow...Target, you know who I'm talking about...that I want to break into their stock rooms and pull out those boxes! Don't just put the candy out...I need more!
I have finally finished most of my decorating. I am a creature of habit about my displays, so I apologize in advance if you've seen them before.
Family Room...
Fireplace Mantel.
Added Bats!
Added new vintage tin characters .

Such a fun detail.

You know I love it all!!! I will be coming back to this post over and over to see your displays. I can't believe you were able to snag that bugs bunny costume in the original box for that price. They are so hard to come by. The added bats near your witch on the wall are brilliant. I can't wait to show this post to my husband. I started over the weekend pulling out Halloween. One tub down. Twenty more to go! Happy Halloween, Shirley!
You sure have FUN at your home for Halloween! They are all so AWESOME! Sure enjoyed seeing all your Halloween treasures!
warmly,
deb
You have so many fun things! I see all kinds of vintage items that bring back good memories! Halloween was always so much FUN! Hugs!
Oh my goodness, you & Kim K. need Halloween rehab therapy, lol. Wow, you have amazingly wonderful decorations Shirley. Your house looks great! Love the costume. Thanks for putting us in the fall~Halloween spirit! :)
Oh Shirley! Just wonderful, and I have to tell you , your home is so beautiful, that stone fireplace and those beautiful wood windows...and what you get to look out on....
You could be making a fortune on those tin creatures of yours....I would buy one for sure! I am so glad you can still find the tins and such....nothing like that here.....
I don't have to decorate, I just come look at yours!
It's really fun for me to see what you and Kim come up with in your decorating. I just LOVE the things you have made. So much talent and creativity. I noticed the pretty view out your window, too! So lovely.
I love all your Halloween decorations. I planned to get mine up Sept. 1st but it didn't happen until today. So sad it took so long. The problem is I won't want to take them down for Christmas. Maybe I won't. LOL
I go to your page again and again! I love all your things. Maggie
Shirley, everything is so wonderful! I love, love it!! I really want to see this in person. Do you allow tours?
hugs,
Jann
