Fall Decorating

 I did some more Fall decorating.  I keep these lit all day.  I know they would make Kary smile.  Her memorial went very nicely and The Bad Ones stayed away.  Thank you to everyone that memorialized Kary.

 The mantle is covered with toads, mushrooms, pumpkins and leaves.

 I am pulling out all of my Fall signs.

 I sure will miss going to Salem this year but it was to hard to coordinate the kid's schedules.  Plus, Teddy can not be counted on to get in and out of the car this year which makes traveling difficult.  If she doesn't want to get in the car there is no one that can get her in it.  I need Cesar.

 Some of my brooms.

 My velvet pumpkins.

 These candles turn on at dusk each night.

 We stopped by a store selling these.

 It was in Amish country.

 Teddy can't wait for Fall.

 It makes me happy to look at this.

And gives me hope I will see this soon too!  Well, maybe not this much!

You have some of the best Halloween decor. Some of it looks to be one of a kind. That Teddy is such a cutie. I am sure your party is going to be amazing.

I lit my candle for Kary, and for all friends who have left us too soon. I must say the flame was dancing for quite a while. I also offered my daily Rosary for Kary. xo

Love your mantle decorations! So pretty, I would love to look at that every evening, up here in Massachusetts, it is muggy, muggy, muggy! :( can't wait for the cool, crisp air.

I live just a city away from Salem, Ma--we live in Lynn. Just had my first baby in August, can't wait to dress her up in her costume and all her "My First Halloween" outfits!

OHHHH that mantle! It takes my breath away. -oh happy sigh-

Sorry that Teddy is becoming a bit of a *testy-kid*. -chuckle- Maybe that dog whisper-er, makes house calls!

Now that we got the house/cellar decluttered... We have to clean up stairs. Then I can get out my decorations! I should use this, as a carrot-on-a-stick. Get the ding-dang cleaning up done! To get to decorations. :-))))))))))

Ooh so many wonderful Autumn and Halloween decorations, I'm so jealous of all the wonderful things you can buy this time of year in the states.

You can keep the snow though :)

I've left you a blog award on my blog Witchery Grove if you would like it.

Love your autumn decorations. I'm sure your friend is smiling. Had a candle going here too. A pumpkin one. It's a shame about Salem. Teddy will miss the lobster. That snow looks a little high to me. I can almost hear the plows.

I so love the mantle showcase. I was already thinking how Kary would be gearing up for Halloween. You both love Halloween so much.

What has got into Teddy? Is she okay.

Love the decorations. Fireplace looks beautiful! Love fall.. but not ready for snow. The cold is coming here, quickly. Most of the leaves are falling off the trees right now. If you blink, you'll miss fall. :) Love the picture of Teddy :) The cooler weather sure does feel good, especially with that furry coat!

I am way behind so you will probably not read this comment...but your mantel is absolutely fantastic! I think I will just email you..because I have to tell you. Back to the drawing board on my mantel. I was shy about doing it up big time..but you are giving me courage. You would think I was in 8th grade the way I can be intimidated by my family saying I am in too much of a rush! To heck with them...I'm going for broke!
You have motivated me..BIG TIME!
