Waiting for Autumn and Halloween....







We are surviving the aftermath of Hurricane Irene...no real damage- the roof perhaps needs a few shingles, but everything else is intact. Just no power for several days, almost a week is the estimate. At night,  it is quiet and we use candlelight to sit in the den. I was bored so I pulled out some items on hand to use to get some ideas for Autumn./fall or Halloween decor. I had pulled out last year's Martha Stewart Halloween magazine- I simply love her take on 'elegant' halloween, which is timeless in a way. I also pulled out my Wizard of Oz Wicked Witch- I have Dorothy from 1997, and willprobably do more photos if I have time to find the props. The table is a Bespaq victorian tea table, that was broken and I repaired it- painted black and decorated with spiderwebs. Now she just needs some spooky books, an hourglass, etc. I loved how she looked next to the fireplace mantel, the white kind of washes her out, but the checker board placemat is from Pier 1, and is made of some sort of shell , but looks like a 1:6 scale marble floor....
Enjoy!
