Halloween Decorating ~ YEAH !!!

Yes, that's right.
I have spent the entire day
cleaning and decorating for
Autumn/Halloween.
You may think it a bit early, 
but I have 3, 
yes count them, 
3 glorious days off from work.
So, along with designing,
stitching and 
finishing, I now have a 
house all decorated for 
my favorite of all holiday,
Halloween and a clean 
one at that !
Can you imagine my 
smiling face :D.

WARNING...
Picture Heavy Post.

Other than the cross stitch
pieces, all of my decorations are
hand made by other artisans.
I have been collecting prim
Halloween pieces for years.
Can you tell? 
Hope it wasn't too much 
to look at in one viewing, 
but I am so pleased with 
how the house looks.
I will sit back tonight
and take it all in,
while I stitch the new design
I created this morning. 
I'd say it was a very 
productive first day off :)
Smiles,
~Nan

It truly is lovely. I am so jealous...not working, it's a tad early for me to justify decorating...but I've had it on my mind. I'll just come back and enjoy yours. Thanks for sharing

What a great Halloween decoration! :o) Everything looks so spooky, just as I like it! Love the prims! I think, now I am, too, in the mood to decorate our home for Halloween (already thought about it)! And the weather here in Germany supports my thoughts... (temperature almost as if it is autumn already). Normally I start with it 4 weeks before Halloween, but now... ;o)

Nan, I am so jealous that you have all your Halloween goodies up! I force myself to wait until September so I can't wait to unpack my box of Autumnal/Halloween decorations soon. Your house is beautiful--you've done a lovely job with the primitive style. :-) -Greta

We don't get to experience real fall weather in Florida like other parts of the country. I was thinking just yesterday, though, that it would be nice to put some of my fall quilts out on display for some wishful thinking.

Angie Berry ~ Berry Homespun Primitives said...

Okay, let me just say that this post made me get up outta my seat and start decorating!! =] I'm usually done by now but we are still in 100+ temps and for 4 more days so it's been hard to get in the spirit. Thanks for the push that I needed.

I absolutely love all of your decorating! I love your pieces and I love how you have them displayed! Everything looks wonderful!

Angie Berry ~ Berry Homespun Primitives said...

Oh, and you have a beautiful home! Love your antique pieces!

KarenV said...

Júlia said...

Great Halloween decoration!
and superb work!

I would like to ask you if you can tell me how is the sawdust your hubby make for you?
I would like to use sawdust that not make dust when is in the pincushion.

Thanks and congrat for your great work.
