Halloween 2013

It absolutely kills me that my apartment doesn't have better natural lighting. The light over my kitchen table tints the most decorated part of the house (this sofa table) a gold-ish yellow. That's one certain thing about sharing a big building with other folks - only one side of your dwelling has windows. I apologize to your eyes now.

This year's Halloween theme was "heads". I always try to create a different look with the things I already have plus a few new treasures. It's not as gruesome as a head-inspired theme might suggest but decorating with a more apothecary/thriller theme scares the crap out of my kids. So we can call this "Happy Halloween Heads" and feel safe as we walk past this to go down the darkened hallway to the toilet.

Here we have a collection of faces, masks, busts, pumpkin heads and silly bobbley heads hanging from a tree. Some fall favorites, a parachuting faerie, and the Black Pumpkin herself in the center of the kitchen table. Happy Halloween!

Halloween 2011 and 2012


Front door


I went with a more vintage, fun theme this year instead of my normal witch's apothecary look.


These busts got their Halloween costumes on.





This is the famous sofa table that gets decorated every month.









 

The following are my Halloween 2011 displays...

The Perfect Witchy Shoes

It's really too bad that I'm not a size 4.5 wide or else these would SOOOOOOO be mine!

Who the heck IS a 4.5 these days anyway? That is my age, anyway...

The Best Halloween Dress EVER!


So I must post this because it is some sort of dream find.


It's vintage. 1940's.



It's witchy.



It's orange and black.



Will you LOOK at that collar?





It is from Allen Company Inc. on Etsy.

And if I was a size xs/s I would totally be blowing my money on this RIGHT NOW.
See? Sometimes it pays to be as plump as a pumpkin.
