My Halloween Mantel

Hello everyone!  I can't thank you enough for all your wonderful comments on my Haunted House!  I love doing it and am so excited that I inspired so many people!  I just wanted to show you  my Halloween mantel.  It is just a collection of the things that I love.  The trick or treat plate was from my favorite little accessory store in Michigan.  The spooky houses were purchased at Kroger!!  I love how the windows glow with the candles in them!  The little ghost with the Boo sign was from HomeGoods this year.  The black candle holders on the ends were cream and green ivy candle holders that we got as a wedding gift!  I couldn't let them go so I did what any good blogger does... I spray painted them!  I love how they turned out and they were perfect for my fall mantel!

  1. Your mantel looks so fun! I bed Jemma just loves it. I wish we had a Krogers - my supermarket doesn't carry such cute things.

  8. Great job! Target is a great place to get Halloween stuff too...

    This year I refrained and used the stuff I already had.. oh no, I'm lying... I bought a pumpkin ghost at TJMaxx!...

  10. I love your mantel!! The candle holders look great black. I had some sconces like that. I think they started out verdigris, then went gold and would be great black like yours. I can't believe you were up in my area and I didn't know!! We are really enjoying the leaves. We took the kids on the Blue Ridge Parkway after I taught today and it was so pretty.

  11. Very scary but not too much so...perfect for Jemma to enjoy!

    I have a mirror with the exact same leaves as your candlesticks. I bet it would look awesome painted ORBronze! I may get brave & try it. Thanks for the inspiration!

    I haven't even gotten out my Halloween stuff yet. I'm slacking this year but I do feel better now, thankfully.

  19. Hi there!
    Your mantel is super cute and perfect for Halloween, I love those little pumpkins sitting atop the black candle-holders. That is clever! And, your Jemma is adorable (as always!) in her costumes! What a sweet face! I would want to kiss her cheeks all the time!

  21. I definitely recommend the iphone, just might be better when verizon can support it. The iphone 4 is shatterproof, which is definitely what I need!

  22. I was rooting for you in my giveaway, because I knew you REALLY wanted that painting! Thanks for the support, and I'm sure I'll be having another giveaway for a Matt LeBlanc painting in the future :-)
