Halloween {Fall} Touches

There's been a crispness in the air as we have below normal temps here in St. Louis for October {highs in the 50's}. So it's been easy to get into the fall nesting mood!

I finally got around to spreading some Fall and Halloween around the house. Here's a glimpse into a few spaces at my house that are sporting a fallish look.


I made this great little BOO picture last year with a frame from Dollar Tree! Joy gave all the easy "how to's" here.

I ♥ those battery powered candles!
and too bad you can't smell thru the computer - my tart warmer is waifing a wonderful Pumpkin tart I got from Bath & Body Works....I didn't know they carried tarts until the other day!
I don't see them on their website, but they had them in the store!


I decorated the front porch first, then we got a LOT of rain then cold temps, before I had a chance to take pictures, so my mums are not looking to great any more.

The Bug Man got my corn stalks for $1!! The farm where he hunts said he could pay them $1 for as many as he wanted if he cut them down himself!
Wooohooo! Thanks Honey!



Take a look at the gourd we found growing in our yard!
We did not plant it, The Bug Man said a bird must have dropped some seeds.
I haven't checked in a few days to see if there are more, but Sunshine picked this one, to put on the porch with the ones we bought!
It's SO cute!! Now she wants to plant gourds! LOL



Thanks for taking the tour.........
are YOU ready for Halloween?

No, seriously, not ready with my decor at all but it's going up this week! It snowed here, and our Thanksgiving was this past weekend... I hate putting Halloween up before Thanksgiving... so I'm at it this week. A big job, but not as big as yours! You've set the bar pretty high.

Your house is so pretty. What beautiful photos and they are so inspirational for me.
I also have to ask. How do you put the little heart in your text where you say, "I (heart) those battery powered candles."?
Hugs and Happy Fall to you,
Nancy

I think those Halloween decorations are great! I LOVE knowing that Boo frame came from a $1! I was actually just telling my mom today how blogs I follow are decorating very tastefully from the $1 store! JEALOUS! I just am not that creative!
