There is a chill in the air!
The wind is blowing and the leaves are rustling.
Soon little spooks and ghouls will be bustling .
For Halloween is here.
Happy Halloween, sweet friends and welcome. Will you be entertaining ghosts and goblins tonight? I am sure to be spooked by just 4 with a visit from my grandsons and nephews, and then off to town they will go in search of sweets and treats.
Today they were allowed to dress up for school and some classes even had parties. How fun! 🍬🍬🍬 Tonight they will set out on their grand candy seeking adventure a little before 5:00 when most of the other goblins come out.
Speaking of treats- my dear friend, Dianet has the most precious Halloween Freebie on her blog, Parchesdeamor blogspot. It is a darling Halloween Potion Jar; it is sure to cast a spell upon you.🫙🫙 It will be my Halloween start for the day. I will be choosing my fabric and gathering my floss. Thank you, Dianet. I will be sure to post my progress as I work on it. Will you be starting a new project today?
Did I ever show you my 2 Halloween cookie jars I bought this year? They were from Walmart . I have enjoyed them so much. In fact, the ghosts inspired my hutch display for the year.
Of course my hutch was filled to the brim with all things Halloween.

| Mr. Pinker made the hutch for me years ago. I enjoy filling it with treasures and handmades for the season. |
Late tonight at the stroke of midnight ( nah not really that early) all of these spooks will be banished to the deep dark depths of the attic until next year. Bye bye black cats and pesky bats. 🦇🦇🦇
Hmmm will turkeys flutter down to roost on the hutch to rest? Or will Santa shoo them away and adorn the shelves brightly colored baubles? I haven't decided yet. Usually I display my turkeys , but I am hearing jingle bells as the Christmas vibes are strongly calling.
I am curious. - When do you begin decorating for Christmas?

Alrighty , Sweeties, that's my Halloween musings. A bit of this and that and a whole lot of nothing- LOL.
Now you have a magical and spooktacular day!

Your Halloween hutch is adorable. The cookie jars are a perfect touch and look perfect with the other goodies. I don't have a special time I start decorating for Christmas. Like everything else I just fly by the seat of my pants. LOL When the mood strikes I get busy. Since it's just me I don't do as much as I used to but time will tell. I'll probably keep it simple and just decorate my kitchen. Just not sure.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest grandson stopped by to day to replace the battery in a chirping smoke alarm. It was annoying - ugh. It was so good to see him and just chat with him for a bit. I don't see either grandson very often. They work, work, work.
Happy Friday and Halloween!!! Big Ole Hugs, DarleneJ
Happy Halloween to you!
ReplyDeleteI love the cookie jars. Your deco is great. Christmas deco starts after the 15th of Nov. and I take out my little "Mrs. Olesons Merchandise" shop.
Be in a hurry for tonite, send greetings and a big Boo,
Gabi
I love your embroidery, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your Halloween embroidery parade, so beautifully displayed in the shop window, even though I don't celebrate this holiday, which is foreign to me.
The Spanish tradition is to celebrate All Saints' Day on November 1st and All Souls' Day on November 2nd. These are days when we have a special remembrance for those who have passed away.
Have a great celebration!!

Happy Halloween 🎃 👻 Love your hutch. Enjoy the grandkids and have a spooky day. K from NY
ReplyDeleteYour hutch is so fun. The potion jar is adorable - I am printing it off and adding it to the stitch stack. I only got about half of my Halloween decorations out this year due to some health issues. The timing of holiday decorating was a difficult decision since my eldest daughter from a young age felt that Thanksgiving didn’t get the recognition it deserved. So we would decorate the kitchen and family room in Halloween and the living room and dining room in fall/Thanksgiving. Once Halloween decorations are out we would immediately start on Thanksgiving - the process usually begins mid to end of September. November 1 or 2 Halloween 👻 gets stored and I start with Christmas decorations. The tree goes up but I don’t decorate it until the day after Thanksgiving. This schedule works keeps everyone happy and I am able to enjoy the fall decorations for a longer period of time. After the kids moved to their own homes I have kept the tradition. It is a busy decorating schedule but I love the decorations for all 3 holidays.
ReplyDeleteWe haven’t had any trick or treaters in years but I always have candy ready just in case. My dogs have costumes (Frankenstein and a lion this year) and will trick or treaters at friends homes. Thanks for the visit and enjoy Halloween. Alicia
