The house is almost ready and before we know it the kiddies will be knocking at our doors!
I like getting my décor out the first week of October because the month just seems to fly by.
I debated about doing each mantle in a separate post. But then I decided it might be fun to see which you like the best.
So here we go with upstairs: It’s a bit spooky, so don’t get scared!
(I made the spooky banner about 5 years ago)
this funny looking fella has a smile on his face, (sorta) lol!
(he’s my only new addition to the mantle. I saw him at a damaged goods store and knew I needed him to go with his matching friend)
See him there on top of my little white box. A few of his friends wanted to hang close by.
Here it is. A little bit ‘spooky’ a little bit ‘fun’!
On the Hearth.
(my Modge Podge hat boxes are another project I did years ago. I still like them, and love my witch boot on top!)
Now let’s go downstairs: It’s an attack of white and black.
(I just made the little spooky banner for my typewriter and guess how I got the houndstooth pumpkin look. It’s Duct Tape. A gift from my friend, Peggy. How fun is that?)
My cute book page pumpkin was made by my friend, Dolly. It feels pretty special sitting in my blingy black pot. Especially surrounded by shining stars!
A weather vane witch is flying close by. A haunted house is hidden under glass.
This is why I made the ‘Wicked’ banner. I added my little book page chain made by my daughter, Kylee.
On The Hearth.
( a black velvety tree inside a vintage bucket. Gourds carved into pumpkins.)
My modge Podge pumpkin and party crow.
Later I added one of my old cameras and an antique photo. the washed out look gives it an eerie feeling.
So, what do you think. . . do you like one more than the other.
hugs,
Jann

Two Fabulous Halloween Mantels , Jann ! Love them both ! Such great Halloween decorations !
I don't know...my two favorite Halloween color combinations. I will go with the black/white one because I am loving that garland and the typewritten. Does it belong to a "ghost writer?"
Yike! Typewriter!
They're both fun, but I'm loving the black & white mantel. Your little bunting across your typewriter is the cutest thing! I've got a bare typewriter just begging for one! Thanks for sharing, Jann.
Both are kewl!! But I am digging the black n white a bit more!! XOXO Love Fran.
Both of these mantles are so great. Love the boot on top of the boxes. The black and white one really captures me!
Cynthia
You definitely enjoy decorating for each holiday! I can see your attic storage now...boxes labeled for every holiday!!! You sure have plenty of energy!
Jann, I love both the mantles! The typewriter is wonderful and the tiny banner on it is adorable.

Carol

Happy day....
Over from Tablescaper..
I like them both! Very cute decorations.
I'm not sure what I love the most! The pumpkin guy in the boot (love Bethany Lowe/Nicole Sayre), your book page pumpkin (tee hee), the banner on your typewrite (now I'm making one for mine), or your banner out of bingo cards (I will be making banners today!!!!)
Great decorations!

Hi Jann, I love them both but I really like to black and white for a change! I love that duck tape pumpkin and I love the paper pumpkin too. You did a beautiful job on the modge podge boxes and you are lucky to have 2 mantles to decorate. The banners you made are so pretty and you are very creative. I could go on and on with the compliments. Take care and enjoy your week.
Julie
I like them both, and you know I zeroed right in on the "olde" typewriter and camera! Take care - Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
