Jump start on Halloween

[Cathymac]

I'm sure many of you got the email today from BHG reminding us of the upcoming 100 Days of Holidays (as if we could forget something as monumental as that!). Did you open the email and look at the slideshow? Gorgeous pictures and great decorating ideas for fall, whether you are entertaining or not. I'm going to re-explore it (is that a real word?) and think about which ones I could actually do, and then I'll report back.

Some lovely ideas, I especially liked the pumpkin on the shepherd's hook.

One of my favorites was the Autumn path idea, if I could do that, I totally would. I might modify it a bit and put little pumpkins on my front steps, one on each step.

Alright, I signed up for this, but didn't get the email with this beautiful slide show you are talking about. I'll have to check this out again.

The reminder email was so welcome - inspiration for the fall and also for continuing with HGP!

Today -- I put some Halloween decorations outside. It was a nice fall day - with sunshine. I got a lot of sparkly things from the dollar store -- and they looked great in the sunshine. These were new decorations that I bought this year. The decorations I have collected over past years are still in the attic. I will bring in the ladder - and then ask for help getting them down! It is exciting!

Oh..... I almost forgot. Our dgs1 asked us to stop at a "pop-up" Halloween store. ("Pop-up" stores take advantage of the fact that there are lots of empty stores in shopping areas. And they "pop-up" for a month or two before a holiday. To sell things for that holiday.

This was for Halloween -- and they had lots of costumes. Nice ones -- not the ones that only last one night. These were $20 - $25 but could definitely be passed down from child to child. It was fun to look at things.
