Halloween Decor

Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday, so I love decorating for it.  I don't go all out, but love to do my own crafts and have things in the house to remind me that fall is here!  Here is some of the decor I had around the house this year...

I got the cat & spider lanterns at a local pumpkin patch about 2 years ago.  The orange pumpkin in the middle is from the Dollar Tree that I got about a week ago (I went and got another one today). 

And it lights up!  How awesome is that!  Can't beat that for $1.

I got the lantern from Marshall's over the summer.  I was actually looking for something just like this one specifically to put pumpkins in it.  (Next to it is an Alice In Wonderland White Rabbit garden statue that I got at Home Goods this summer.  He's not very Halloween-ish, but I love it, so inside it stays).

And this is the inspiration photo for my lantern with the pumpkins.  This is from the Pottery Barn catalog.  I saw this and immediately knew I had to replicate it somehow.

You may remember this wreath from this post.

I found these great candlestick holders at Pottery Barn on clearance over the summer.  They reminded me of Tim Burton.  I thought they would be a great place to display these mini pumpkins (the orange one is a real pumpkin and the white one is a ceramic one I got at the Dollar Tree).

I got the Jack Skellington tea light holder at Disneyland 2 years ago.  The Oogie Boogie I made last year out of green & black felt using a pattern I found on the Disney Family website here.

These great Halloween jars I made this year that I did a post on this year here.  I found the tutorial on this site here.  I used flameless tealights instead of string lights, but they would look best with the string lights.

And here is the Jack Skellington one I made.  Love him.  I may make more next year using some of his different expressions.

I actually have some other decor up, but didn't get pictures.   I found a great "Happy Halloween" banner at the Target Dollar spot (it was actually $2.50).  It's made out of thick felt shaped like candy corns - it's hanging in the front window.  I also have a couple of pumpkins that I crocheted last year.   I can't believe that tomorrow is already going to be November.  The rest of the year is going to go by quick!
