Glow in the dark pop sticks
I wanted a fun way to display my marshmallow pops at our friends Halloween party this weekend. The party is outside & it's fairly dark & I wanted to make my pops glow! I took a pack of paper straws, closed off one end, inserted a glow bracelet & placed the closed end into the marshmallow.
They turned out great! I haven't quite figured out how to take a good photo of them GLOWING but you get the idea! These glow pop sticks are for display only. I will be removing the glow sticks before serving-we don't want someone biting into it!

Halloween Cocktail Bar
Are you throwing a Halloween party? Here's a chic & easy cocktail bar idea I styled for the Adult Beverage Company. Place a candelabra in the center of your bar table. Set up the bar with your favorite adult beverages, glass & bar ware. Add a few glittered pumpkins & crystal spiders for sparkle. String cobwebs throughout the entire bar. Light candles & let the fun begin!

Halloween Holiday Tour
Are you ready for Halloween? I wanted to share a little of my Halloween decorating tour with you that I am featuring on Maddycakes Muse today! My mantle this year is simple: Owl luminaries, pumpkins wrapped in ribbon & ric rack, tissue pinwheels & my Halloween banner. At night, I turn on the orange mini lights in the owl luminaries & the whole mantle glows!
In my kitchen, I have “ghostly flour, pumpkin soap, trick or treat banner with tissue pinwheels & Halloween pumpkins over my cabinets.
In my living room, a pumpkin display on the table, Haunted House luminaries which has been officially dubbed “Boo town” by my kids, lanterns with candy corn & vine pumpkins on the coffee table, Pumpkin Pi created for my son, hurricanes with candy corn & spider candles in the bookcases & our pumpkin creatures.
The last stop on our tour is the exterior. We boo our friends & neighbors every year & we put our sign on our door, pumpkin luminaries & our spider lanterns, front door wreath complete with spider, trick or treat mat & our trees are wrapped with orange lights and glowing lanterns.
On Halloween night, we line our driveway &walkway with Halloween luminarias! I hope you enjoyed our Halloween Holiday Tour! How do you like to decorate for Halloween?

Nail head trim
I love details in design. One of my favorite design details to add to furniture are decorative nail heads. I like to play with patterns, add a row along the outside of chairs, outline the curve of a sofa or headboard. Are you a fan of nail heads?

Halloween banner
I finished the banner last night! It was such an easy project! I attached the banner letters to a 6"x 4" piece of scrapbook paper, cut & followed the shape of the pennant, attached sparkly balls to the tips & hot glued the letters onto black ric rac! Super easy & super cute!

Candy Corn Treat Boxes
Did you see my guest post on Maddycakes Muse today? I made these cute treat boxes for her candy corn week!
If you want to make your own, start with a paper mache pumpkin boxes. Paint the entire box orange. After the paint completely dries, take blue painters tape and tape off the top section. Paint the top section white, add coarse glitter and remove tape.
After the white section dries tape off the middle section and paint it yellow and sprinkle with glitter.
Repeat process to the bottom layer with the orange paint and glitter. Fill with Halloween candy and give to your favorite ghosts and goblins! Enjoy!
*Note~do not spray paint the inside of the paper mache pumpkin box for it will make it not food safe. If you do spray paint the inside make sure to only put wrapped candy inside.
