Adding A Bit Of Halloween Around Here

Last Friday, my mom, the girls, and I went out to the pumpkin farm. It was a beautiful day (after many raining ones) so we thought we'd better take advantage of it. We had such a cool August that a lot of the pumpkins were still green! I was finally able to get a picture of Daphne without her plugging her nose! Oh thoses farm smells... ;o)

I displayed their pumpkins on our front steps. A friend of ours from church gave me the vintage milk jug this past summer. (Thanks Betty!) I thought it made a great pedestal for the pumpkin. I've been making a few decorations for Halloween this year - the boo banner is one.
Besides Christmas, I've never been one to decorate seasonally. I decided to change that this year since I've been so inspired by others who do, especially so many out here in blogland. This is what I put together on our coffee table.

I made the party hat for the little jack-o-lantern

I was inspired by this artist and created a polka dot pumpkin adorned with a baby holding his kitty in a jack-o-lantern.

My flirty eye doll head needed a party hat too.

Stella (the dress form) was crowned Miss Oct. 31st! hehe

I even bought some faux gourds to put in my apothecary jar. I'm totally stepping out of my pink comfort zone here people! hehe

Overall, I like the change of having a bit of Halloween around the house.

I guess I can handle a little orange for a month or two. hehe
