Pumpkins, Halloween Decor and the Garden

Sharing photos snapped from my phone over the last week:

Pumpkins I grew in the garden. So by purpose and others from pumpkins I threw in the compost last year. Who knew seeds wouldn't compost.

A vintage pumpkin candle found at a thrift store. Reminds me of those when I was a kid.

Halloween decor in Q's little reading area. A nod to the little trick or treaters.

We decorate even the patio for Halloween with lights and jack o lanterns.


Some fall flowers and leaves on the patio out back.

This is a busy week for our house: homecoming game, homecoming dance preparations, and two Halloween parties for hubby and I Saturday night. I am the queen of cheap costumes. I don't spend much on clothes so I sure am not going to spend much on a costume. I will share a pic on Monday of our costumes.

  1. I love your vintage looking witch! The pretty pumpkins are unique (the colors).

    I haven't done much Halloween decor this year, but I am doing something BIG in the dining room. I just haven't finished it yet!
