Since I spend so much time decorating for fall, I don’t invest much energy into Halloween decorating. Although I enjoy my neighbors’ outdoor decorations, my home doesn’t get many spooky embellishments. I don’t know about where you live, but around these parts Halloween is quickly becoming the next Christmas when it comes to decorations! In fact, in a day or two I’m gonna show you how one of my neighbors went all out! You don’t want to miss it! So anyway … today I put together some Halloween decorating in a jiffy.
You’ve probably noticed my pumpkin of choice is white.
I like the pale pumpkins since they also lend themselves to Thanksgiving decorating.
But see … I did manage to sneak an orange Cinderella pumpkin in there!
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 drag out my 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.
And starting next week …
I’m joining several fellow bloggers to bring you the wonderful scents of this fabulous season.
Starting Monday, we’ll be sharing DIY projects to commemorate the scents of Fall.

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