Mini Porcelain Halloween House


























The second mini house I have, as the sign painted over the door says, this particular one is the "Ministry for Magic". Each side was photographed, like the previous house. I think I found these at a Dollar Store.

Well This Happened Today

A big storm with gusts in the 40s-60s, with rain too. It is actually normal to get wind & rain this time of year. Several Halloweens ago I had sheer balloons hanging around the porch with cheese-cloth dangling around them; then I had a rainy wind day & most of them flipped up onto the roof. I had to pull them back down, they were mostly ok, & the beating they got made them somewhat weirder. So half a tree fell on my house, around 2PM Tuesday. Not fun.

Failed to Post Daily!


It's SO true, I wasn't able to-let's say I was too lazy to take some pics for the Halloween daily post countdown. I don't have a ton of negatives, my Epson scanner has decided to quit finish warming up.....

Sunday I went to a porcelain artists' show, it's a yearly event, every October-but there is hardly ever anything Halloween-related; blasphemus but true. This is the only piece, with pumpkins, the next closest would be chrysanthemums, everything else was roses, pansies(which I love, but they NEVER sell what they display, try & understand THAT, I still can't), forget-me-nots.....

I have a few Halloween houses I bought from somewhere, could be Big Lots or some Dollar Store, can't remember. I'll probably take some pics of those & post them, they're small but have ghosts, jacko'lanterns, & candy corn.

October 6th Halloween Post














I LOVE these plastic pumpkins, I loved using one as a child & I was thrilled to find a few in a thrift store. Next I had to come up with a reason to use them, other than as candy containers-although that would work, to offer trick-or-treaters a grab into a jacko lantern instead of a large plastic bowl. I put silk mums & Chinese Lanterns! I can't grow them but I have a version now that will last for awhile. I arranged the 'silk' flowers, mums, lanterns, & leaves & they are now hanging from the ceiling on hooks.

A Halloween Coffee Table














This was just done, in my living room. The fabric is from Joann's, the plastic pumpkin lights up, with a Jacko'Lantern on 1 side & a black cat on the other, it blinks on & off. The other pumpkin I found in a thrift store, I filled it with Luden's.

A New Day, New Halloween Pic

Another pic of Lilly, she wasn't sure if she liked the horn barrettes, but she LOVES posing for the camera.

My Halloween Countdown -1 Day














Lilly chewing a ghost dog toy I got at Petsmart, her little sister is Dahlia; Lilly is American Eskimo, Dahlia is Pomeranian-she thinks she's the 'lion' of the house. I guess Poms are the Old World's equivalent of Chiuauas, I probably spelled that wrong, sorry. These are pics from last year.
