Around these parts, Halloween decorating is quickly becoming competitive with Christmas decorations. I’m sure you’ve probably seen an abundance of costumes and spooky decor in the stores where you live. This year, I decided to do something a little more “au naturelle” in a corner of the kitchen.
One thing I love to do with pumpkins is to stack them. Just find flatter pumpkins and if necessary, trim off the stem so that another pumpkin will sit comfortably on top.
A rustic crate turned on its side becomes an impromptu display for gourds and Baby Boo pumpkins.
These gourds will get recycled into my Thanksgiving decor. I like to get as much mileage as possible out of decorations.
Since I don’t typically carve pumpkins, I add candlesticks to cast a glow.
Last year I made this vintage Halloween banner using book pages, vintage graphics, and twine.
I printed the graphics and Mod Podged them onto the book pages. Then I applied a coat of Mod Podge over the entire page to help preserve it.
My Halloween decorating was done in a jiffy as I was busy making pumpkin bread today.
On Halloween I’ll put a bunch of mason jars with candles out on the porch for the Trick or Treaters.
Love your Halloween decorating in a jiffy!! So pretty!!
It’s all pretty, but I particularly like the banner, so I will pin it to my banner board.
I love it !!! AS ALWAYS SISTER FABULOUS
I love your cute unspooky decor. You brought hay in the house. You are braver than me. It’s so messy.
I love this for fall and your banner is so sweet and vintage looking. I don’t decorate for Halloween but this soft touch is really nice.
Your garland is so cute, Jennifer! BTW, I love your Christmas tree photo on your sidebar. I want to do that to one of my trees this year (cutting some branches out), because it looks so much like photos I have of my Mom’s trees in the early 50’s!
Love it all, but especially love the cute little garland. Great job as always!!!
I love this spirited display! The crate makes a great backdrop, and your banners are wonderful! So fun and simple.
Every thing looks great and I love the banner!!!! We never have done decorating for Halloween!

Your Halloween touches are perfect! I swear I can’t find those baby boos anywhere here. I love them and they are such a nice change from orange. I’ll just have to admire yours!

Darn cute banner you have here. I don’t do much Halloween decorating…just a mini flag this year.
Blessings,

simple and gorgeous, just the way I like it! Christine from Little BRags
This is my kind of Halloween decorating 🙂 I don’t do much “spooky” decorating either. Your banner is so cute!
Very nice decoration … love the banner and the soft colors. White pumpkins are my choice too.

It’s always so nice to pop over here and see your decor. love the banner and will have to try it sometime…and I like your white pumpkins versus a lot of orange. Have a good day!
