I've ended up doing more straight fall, very little Halloween, even for the Boo!Bash on the 27th. I didn't have the fresh pumpkins I thought I would...the silly deer ate all of them! LOL! So, I've had to buy some, which limited the number I have. For the last few years my yard has looked like a pumpkin patch. I loved it!
I'm making a pair of pumpkin topiaries for the front porch. I'm stacking three graduated sized pumpkins in a footed urn (plastic, from the dollar store several years ago, spray painted with hammered copper spray paint for plastic!) and gluing silk fall leaves between them. I wanted to use real leaves, but they are still all green and on the trees!
I'll have small pumpkins (pie pumpkins) and small pots of mums staggered on the front porch steps, and several candles in fall colors on the tables.
I'll put a fall wreath on the fence gates, and in my front flowerbeds I'll do the milk jug ghosts that was posted on the other site. Love those! I'll have groups of three. I've also painted some jars to look like jack o lanterns and I'm going to do some of the mummy luminaries that was posted on the other site, also.
The back porch will have Christmas lights all around the perimeter, with candles everywhere, along with the obligatory pumpkins, mums and hay!
Inside, I've done some faux pumpkins on the mantle and sitting around in various places, put fall colored berries on the light fixture and china cabinet and stuck fall leaves everywhere! I also put mini pumpkins and gourds and faux berries in jars and placed them on the countertops.
Wreaths on all doors...fall throws, pillows and candles..that's about it! :hat:
