I love decorating for Halloween, but it is mostly for the family and few friends who happen to come by. We live on a very quiet, dark, short street, which most trick-or-treaters don’t bother to venture down, even though I’ve tried to tempt them over years with beckoning orange candles in the graveyard {at night},
full sized candy bars and mini bottles of after dinner drinks and buggy~bling for the grown~ups.
Cheerful ghosts adorn the front of the house, and the wreath sets the tone for what to expect when they step into the courtyard.
As they enter, our would~be visitors would be greeted with plenty of eerie sounds, a row of mini flashing lights at their feet, bats flying overhead and birds perched on branches and stems, as they made their way to the front door.
Most of the plants have died down, but there are colorful pumpkins and pansies in the garden beds, candles will be set out tonight as well.
Grasses in tin pots bring some height and a hint of a cornfield.
Indoors, there is a sweet sampler I found at a antique shop years ago.
Mini white and tiger striped pumpkins are on display, glittered body parts adorn the desks,
and tarantulas are crawling all over the place.
But, alas, few will see all of this, which I am sure is just fine with Arabella…visitors make her nervous.
Happy Halloween, Splendid Readers, stop by for a nightcap if you dare!!
What is Halloween like at your place???
This is utterly superb! I would be so delighted to see a home like this.
