Some folks might think that it’s down right “Spooky’, but to me. .
.
It’s just ‘Wicked Fun’!
I don’t care for anything that’s really gory, but a touch of spooky, especially if it involves anything vintage I love!
The crows have been having a great time partying all night long. And as you can see, my crystal ball is close at hand for when I have a notion to see what’s going on.
The washed out portrait of a mother and her children gives off a touch of eeriness.
I love this paper wreath I made a few years ago. Just by adding some little accent It can easily be used for any occasion. The holder was made by adding a base and a hook to an old spindle.
This caged beauty is dressed to kill, (a mocking bird, perhaps).
My friend, Dolly made the cage out of wire and an old book. Love it!!
A branch that looks as though it was plucked from a haunted hollow sits beside her on the living room mantle.
Sweet pumpkins carry out the mostly b&w theme.
The feather tree was $1 purchase at a clearance sale. A few pops of orange are added here and there.
I placed a bottle brush wreath on my piece of ceiling tile.
A black top hat with a feather flower adds a touch of orange to the other side of the mantle.
So does my little ‘wicked’ spider framed stitch work.
I love my Bethany Lowes primitive witch! She sits on a tarnished tray alongside a couple of peat pots on my coffee table. I adorned the pots with glitter and witchy labels a couple years ago to hold treats for a party.
Mr. Bones relaxes on the couch alongside my wool pillow.
I made the ‘wicked’ banner last year from copying an old bingo card.
Along with this bit of ‘Wickedness’ I have filled an apothecary cabinet in my living room. I look forward to sharing it in a separate post.
Hope you are having a ‘Wicked Fun” October!
hugs,
Jann

I love your blog. I am putting it on my favorite list. :))
I enjoy seeing others Halloween decor, but never really decorated for the event much myself - did some when the children were growing up. Thanks for sharing yours - so many cute ideas. I remember when my father had one of the old underwood typewriters like that.
Hope you are enjoying the weekend.
You certainly are the Queen of Halloween decorating - everything is so clever and creative! If I did Halloween, I'd want to do it just like you. Sally
OMG Jann,
LOVE!!!! I love the crows with the pointed hats. They are so so cute. You did a great mantel last year but this year I think this one tops last year. Love this so much. Great job. You are the holiday vignette queen. I always love to see what you do for the different holidays. This one for Halloween is sweeeeet!

Pinned!!! I wasn't going to do much Halloween decorating, but I'm totally going to copy your whole typewriter idea! My typewriter just sits in the basement collecting dust when it could be looking a-dor'able! You are so full of good ideas, Jann. Love it all!!
Vickie
Jann, It is all spooktacular. Love the typewriter. xoxo,Susie
Great Halloween decorating Jann ! Love your banners and the wool pillow !
Love your Halloween décor!! I got an old typewriter for my daughter and she decided she didn't want it...so I kept it. Love the little banner that you made and now I want to make me one to put on this old typewriter that is now mine.
hugs,
Cindy
I hope that you have a party so lots of people can enjoy all your decorations. Very cute and very spooky.

I like your kind of spooky the score. It's fun and whimsical to say nothing about being in good taste.
Love all your vintage and nontraditional Halloween decorations! Especially the bingo card banner. It's all so creative!
Love, love, love it, Jann. I always enjoy seeing how you change up your mantel with the seasons and holidays. The black and white theme with just a bit of orange is perfect. xxx ~ Nancy
Hahaha-love the hats! So cute :)
Like the rustic feel.
Mr. Bones looks like a well behaved fella-sitting straight and quiet ;)
I would love if you share it with my fall themed party Big Autumn Bash:

I adore everything about your mantle and room!!!!
You've done a wonderful job with your Halloween decorating! I'm not into lime green and purple for Halloween..... Thanks for sharing your fall decor with us at Make It Monday!
Haven't decorated with crows before - your looks friendly I like that and it would be something new to add crows and fun. My Halloween decor has always been cartoon style fun - and never bloody or scary. But this year it's more on the nothing side right now -- perhaps next year but I am making a note..to add crows next year!
Absolutely wicked fun Jann!!!!!!!!! I love-love-love what you have done to spook things up!
This is absolutely the best Halloween display I've seen this year, Jann. I'm in love with the entire thing....and I don't even like decorating for the holiday!
I wanted to let you know that I chose this post as my feature for this week's party. Thanks so much for taking the time to link it up!
So creative! Love the spooky typewriter - maybe Poe used it (after he died).
Hi Jann, wow I love all of your decorations and especially since you made some of them! Have a spooktacular week!!
Julie
Your vintage Halloween decor is wicked good! Love it all, especially your Bethany Lowe witch and the raven with his/her collar.
Your banners are so great! And you're right about the washed out photo...kinda spooky!
Thanks so much for stopping by my "let's Talk Vintage" Linky Party. I'm sure you'll be a feature next week, too! :)
Have an awesome week,
Jillian
Hi Jann!
Love this fabulously spooky Halloween display! The banner, the typewriter, camera all together -- genius!! The hats on your ravens/black birds are inspiring me to make hats for my own little flock of Halloween ravens! Catherine
I don't decorate at all for Halloween, but seeing all your vintage elements makes me want to - love the "Spooky" banner, Jann!
Very nice- love the typewriter! So festive :)
Wicked good post! There is so much to love here--and those party hats on the crows are fabulous! What a great idea :) --Fran
Amazing! This is my kind of Halloween ;)
I have that typewriter, Jann!!!! And I was planning to make a bingo card banner today--great minds think alike! I also love your folk art--my taste exactly. So glad we can celebrate a fun season without celebrating anything macabre. For me it's one of the most creative seasons of the year!
Laura
Gorgeous Halloween decorations! Love how you made a sweet banner to hange on the typewriter! Super cute!
Oh, I love your Halloween decor! My favorite part is the little party hats the bird are wearing, what a fun touch!
Tania
Just beautiful. I am in love with your decor. Stunning!

So much to love in this post. Your Halloween decorations are just perfect. :-)
I love your black and white Halloween, beautiful! And I also prefer spooky over gory :)
I definitely love the black and white Halloween theme. It's so sophisticated looking. We just celebrated our 23rd annual Halloween party Friday night. It's always fun to find inspiration in other's blog posts. Halloween hugs!
