The girls tell me we never properly celebrate or decorate for most holidays. I disagreed with them on the celebrate comment, but I did admit to some laziness when it comes to dragging out the decorations for most holidays. With Halloween just around the corner I promised to dig through our “fall” bins and make some wicked cool magic in our house.
Today was a baby step with some decoration upgrades.
I started with this sparking skull and lightened its mood with false eyelashes and a beaded necklace.
This was a Dollar Store find (below). It is one of those special photos that looks normal one way and scary from an alternative angle. I trimmed the photo to remove it from its cheesy plastic frame and added the image to a stock frame.
I also gave a pumpkin (the manufactured type) a painted makeover using a non-traditional color.
I am in love with the purple pumpkin, but even more crazy about the carriage. Where did you ever find something so cute? Great decorating Deb!
Don’t you love that carriage? I bought it a few years ago at an antique store in Elkhorn, Wisconsin!
