I hung some crepe paper ball orbs from the chandelier in the entry.

 
 



Bats on the mantel, and some bits and pieces, including my witch collection.
 



 
 

 
 


 


 
 

 
Have a fun Halloween!

a little bit of fall & shabby apple winner!

I added a little bit of fall touches ... inside.





apples, berry branches from our tree ...
 
 
 
 
a made up quote for the chalkboard ...

 
apples, of course.
 

 
 
mini white pumpkins (grown from our garden)
 
 








Anyone else feel weird about decorating for fall, then Halloween, then fall again?  Maybe it's just my dilemma.  That's why I'm
just doing a little bit of fall decorating now.  I'll back soon with some Halloween ideas, then more fall after Halloween. What a fun time of year. The colors on the trees are changing, and my kids
are getting excited for Halloween.  I hope you are all enjoying it as much as I am!
 
 




and last but not least,
 
the lucky winner of the $75 Shabby Apple giveaway is ...
 
Andy Brienne

Congratulations Andy!
