Now we just have to resist the Three Musketeers and York Peppermint Patties instead of eating them all before the 31st. Last year I stuffed a framed black silhouette of Burger in there, but this year I picked up some $4 white carnations and painted them black for a gloomy-ish look. John’s cavernous hole-like eyes are so handsome.Īnd can you tell what I shoved under that glass dome? John made us skulls in photoshop last year and we loved it so much we brought it out again this year.
And of course there’s the bird, a faux antler candlestick, and the black votive from last year’s Halloween dealy-o.Īnd see the photo above Mr Frog? Here’s the close up. Nothing too fancy, just a piece of burlap as a casual runner with things like some eerily titled books that we dug up along with some feathers from last year and my new little white ceramic frog (further explained here). So here’s the console table all decked out: Oh and we grabbed some $4 carnations too. And other than springing for some candy for the kids in our neighborhood and some candy corn for ourselves we didn’t spend a dime (hindsight: candy corn is the worst- it’s basically just a stomach ache waiting to happen).
Halloween is in just a few short weeks so we broke out the old creepy raven along with a bunch of other spook-tastic props from last year (see our big Halloween ’09 set up here).
