Good morning, punkin! Welcome! Well my hutch is crammed full of spookiness. And I thought it would be so much fun to play a little game. How many pumpkins and jacks can you spot on my hutch? πAre you up to challenge? Aaah come on! π
Ok Let's play!
The theme of my hutch was Jacks , Jacks and more Jacks. I left the black and white buffalo check shelf runners on the shelves though you can not see them from all of the Halloween clutter π§π³. In the background, I used my orange Dollar Tree plates.

On the top of the hutch is a leaf garland from the Dollar Tree and a sweet felt candy corn garland purchased years ago. I never change out the top of my hutch . That is where I store my Campbell's Soup tin and Coca Cola crates and bottles, but I did add a Dollar Tree sign to the top . ( You wanta know what's in the soup tin? I store plates in there. )

On the top shelf is a very toothy paper mache box that I found on one of my thrift stores runs.

My daughter gifted me the "Too Cute to Spook" owl. In the smiling Jack container is a Homespun Elegance piece called "Oh to Be A Witch" .

Years ago, I stitched "Jolly Jack" from All Through the Night. The frame is too small for it , but I still love it.

One of my favorite pieces is the paper mache Jack standing on a box. I got him for a dollar years ago.

The little wicked witch below is one of my wool appliques. She is a bit creepy. Don't you think?

I changed the bowl in the old juicer to an orange Dollar Tree bowl and filled it with picks and an pumpkin.

In the corner is a freebie called Jacks and Crows from Primitive Betty. Betty posted it on her blog on June 25, 2014. Ooooh! there is 5 jacks in that stitch.

Below it is a little pumpkin sitting in a vintage mason jar lid that I found sitting in the bottom of a creek. Yes! I braved the cold water for that treasure.
Sitting on the Dollar General cauldron mug is my Hazel Ewe. She was finished on a paper mache box. Can you guess where I bought the box? Yep. the Dollar Tree. π Gotta love the Dollar Tree.

Years ago I loved to grow gourds and paint them. This is one of the few that I still have.

Don't you just adore those jagged crooked teeth? Well at least I do in a Jack. Beside Witchy Jack is Hocus Pocus- from Heart in Hand. I finished it on a Dollar Tree wooden easel frame.

The wool applique jack I created years ago. On the vintage scale, I layered a doily and a crocheted dish towel.

In the bowls gifted to me by my dear sister is some candy corn and a couple of cross stitches including "Surrender the Treats " which was a freebie from Hands on Design(. Information on it can be found on Cathy's Instagram. ) and October 31st from Heart in Hand.

Ok so how many jacks did you count?
Hmmm first shelf including the top of the hutch I counted 8.
Second shelf- I counted 12 but if I include the teeny pumpkins in the Brenda Gervais piece plus the pumpkin sticker in the bow that would be 10 more- so 22
Bottom shelf- I counted 13.
OH MY! 43 JACKS!! Surely not!
Did you spot more? There certainly are a lot. I didn't realize I had so many witches as well until I started to look at these photos.
I am sorry I was so snap happy with the camera and overloaded you visually, but I am very grateful that you stopped by to see a bit of my Halloween clutter. Come the 1st of November all of these Jacks will be making their way to the attic, but don't worry! I have more country clutter to fill their space. A turkey invasion is going to take place in the kitchen. Do you decorate for Thanksgiving?
Have a beautiful day, my friends and as always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
Melisa
Thank you for the sweet visit.
Jack-o-lanterns smiling bright wishing you a haunting night!
Hugs and Stitches!!!!π€π§΅❤
Dedicated to my baby sister, Amy who loved Halloween and all its fun. Love and miss you, Amo
