Today was the day to clean up all the riff raff and get out the fall themed decorations. I've been enjoying the battery operated candle that is set to come on around dusk and flickers in the front window when I pull in the drive, so it was time to pull out the coordinating decorations. Gone is the wreath with the sad floppy bow. It it's place a lovely harvest wreath with acorns and an appropriately fluffed leaf themed bow. I know the mailman and paperboy will approve.
This, however, is my favorite Halloween decoration.
Yep, that pumpkin is from a ceramics place my grandmother frequented when I was a small child. I can remember putting the candy I got trick or treating inside. Somehow, I was allowed to keep that pumpkin and the candy in my bedroom.
In case you were wondering, the ghost I've had ten years or less...doesn't look much different than the crafty punkin' does it? Not ALL 1970 something crafts look dated...now where did I put that macramé book?
And in case you thought I had it ALL together, I found this lurking in the breakfast nook...
Yep. A snowman. Maybe he'll just stay there for a couple more months...

Great to see you enjoying the pumpkin and I love the little ghost with it. Maybe I will be inspired to get out some fall decor myself.
I too remember the pumpkin fondly. The ghost is very cute. While I have not been decorating, shocking I know, I have been a bit crafty. Paula and I are re-caning 2 chairs we found at a fundraiser garage sale. I think this may by my one and only caning experience (it is turning out).
Cheers,
David
