Happy Halloween!

Well here we are at the end of October already and it's Halloween!!!  

~ Be on the lookout for witches, goblins and ghosts tonight!  Maybe even a few super heroes and princesses too!

This cute little bench, “be scary” sign, and boo-tiful little ghost are thrift store finds!

I was so tickled at the thought of a little Halloween display using them, so I had to get ‘em!

A few added Target dollar spot items, fall flowers and mini pumpkins, and this is what I created!

~ Wishing everyone a boo-tiful, fun, and Happy Halloween!

My Fall Tablescape

~ My Fall Tablescape ~

I've said many times before that setting a pretty table is one of my favorite things to do, when it comes to decorating.  And, I enjoy finding inexpensive items to add to my tablescapes, which give me the ability to change up the decor easily and without spending a lot of cash to do so!

I found some cute little green leaf plates at Target dollar spot, then at Hobby Lobby I picked up some 12x12 craft/scrapbook paper sheets with a Fall image of trees & leaves to use as placemats, and to add more fall color.  These were the only new items I purchased, everything else I already had on hand!

I simply layered the craft paper with a white paper doily, then a glass plate, a cream cloth napkin, the green leaf plates, and topped each place setting with a mini white pumpkin.

I’m pleased with the results and think it looks even better than I’d imagined!  

Plus, it was inexpensive to create.  I love thrifty decor!

Happy Decorating!

Crafted Wooden Display Ladder

I created a little display ladder!  I wanted one mostly to use for my cute dish towels.  I am pattin’ myself on the back, since it worked out so well.  I love the results!

And, then of course I had to get at styling it for Fall!

I made the cute little chalkboard banner, too!  I couldn’t find my chalk pen, so I had to write those letters with a big ol’ piece of chalk.  A mini wreath I simply decorated, and a pumpkin finished off my sweet display.

I made another smaller ladder, I wanted to give an example of how I created it since I didn't take photos of the process on the first one.  It was so simple to make!

I purchased the wood pieces at the craft store.  I measured the pieces for each of the sides, and the ladder sections/rungs, then after cutting them I used Scotch clear glue to hold all the pieces together.  I considered painting it, then decided I liked it natural...for now!;) 

My original ladder is 20 ins. long by 7.25 ins. wide.  It fits just under my cabinets on my countertop, where I wanted it for displaying my dish towel.  I am very happy with the results and how it looks with my sweet Fall dish towel displayed on it!  I think it's very cute!

Happy Crafting!

FALL-ing into October ~ Fall Themed Shelf Decor

Fall-ing into October by styling my display shelf with some sweet little items I picked up @target dollar spot!  

It was hard to resist the cuteness of those tiny green pumpkins and some wooden letters, all for a dollar each!  I was saying to myself “show a little restraint Tammy” ‘cause these are NOT the only thing I got!

These items did add a sweet touch of FALL to my shelf!  So I’ve NO regrets!

~ Enjoy your day!
