Jacks, Jacks and More Jacks - Halloween Hutch Tour

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?  🎃Are you up to challenge? Aaah come on!  😃

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 🧐😳. 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. 

Let's hop down to the 2nd shelf. 

A big smiling Dollar Tree jack sits on a Dollar Tree book .

 Finished on a tin tray is With thy Needle and Threads " Spirits and Spells . Below it is "Hocus Pocus" , one of my itty bitty design that I shared yesterday. 

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

 Behind him is a wooden jack. In the old golden compote stand is a jack that my daughter bought me years ago.

Big Jack and Little Jaxs was a freebie I shared in 2020.  There is 3 jacks on it. 

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

Down we go to the bottom shelf. 

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. 😃 Gotta love the Dollar Tree. 

 Below Hazel is a freebie  witch from the Pineberry Lane called Witchie . 

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
