This past week, I was walking around the Hillsboro Antique Mall and I ran into a nice gal named Pami who owns a shabby chic booth named Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow. We chatted about blogs and such and she let me take some images of her Halloween decorations in her booth. I thought they were fresh and fun. Her booth is girlie and is dominated by whites and pinks, so I thought her take on Halloween was neat. I don't really have this type of shabby in my house, but I know a lot of you do, so I wanted to share. The images are a little dark. Sorry...not the best lighting in the mall.
I have been working in a black and white theme in my kitchen and for some reason it is spilling over into other areas of my creative stream. Here is what I came up with for a little entryway table at my front door.
Here is my skull. They are sold in bone colored plastic, so I painted mine white and added the glitter using a little Alene's that I brushed on with an old studio brush.
It's been a few days since my last post, mainly because I have a ton of projects that I am happily working on and I am not ready to write about them. I am making progress on the master bathroom project, (yes, I know...it's been dragging,) preparing for Halloween around the house, re-planting some areas outdoors, getting set to start my tomato plants, trying to clear the garage for an upcoming tag sale, and started working on an update and branding of the Homeless Finch. (Take a breath girlfriend.)  |

Also, if you remember a few weeks ago, I asked your advice regarding freshening up my kitchen. Well, I have made huge strides and am so excited about what is happening. It has developed into a project made up of many mini projects. More on that later in the week.
Happy Monday! Hope you enjoyed my black and white, sparkly Halloween display!

Lesley I am so excited you are so busy! That means we are in store for some neat stuff from you! I love the black against the green on your walls. It just pops!
I got tired just reading what you have going on!! All the Halloween decorations are so cute. I haven't done anything yet and I think I just disappoint my son. Since he has to turn on every light in the house to go to the bathroom, maybe I'll just take the bulbs out of the hallway light and add a little scare to his day that way.
Thanks for the inspiration!! Jen
You Halloweek set-up is so fun! Love the pop of black and white against your green walls! Can't wait to see what all you've been up to!
