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.
From potpourri to sachets to food and more. Hope to see you there!

October 28, 2013 at 11:15 amYour 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!
