Halloween Tablescapes

I know it's early for Halloween but it takes time to create table displays and centerpieces. I like to start decorating in early October. And NO ONE does Halloween like Martha Stewart.









Thanks Martha for providing us with a little Halloween inspiration! Don't forget to sign up for her Halloween workshop starting September 7th!

The Holiday Queen

I am LOVING these vintage inspired Halloween creations by Melissa Valeriote. I have posted a few of my favorites but you have to go to her blog, The Holiday Queen to check out all of her incredible designs. Don't forget to check out her store on Etsy where she sells some of her amazing treasures, including these Halloween Lollipops.

Haunted Mansion

Chasing Fireflies has a darling vintage inspired glitter mansion in their current catalog. But with a $149.00 price tag I had completely dismissed the idea UNTIL I saw these at the craft store. With a little glitter, a few scrapbook embellishments, I think I can create a similar look. The lids are removable & I am going to stuff them full of Halloween treats & give them as gifts to friends.

Wish me luck-they could be great or a total disaster! Off to the craft store for more inspiration!
