I’m not a huge Halloween decor person, but I do like to add a little festiveness to my front door every year. Â Last year Halloween in our new neighborhood was quite the event. Â I have no doubt this year will be the same. Â We will most likely greet hundreds of trick-or-treaters, I kid you not. Â And there will be a mix of ages too, but my personal favorite are the little ones under 5 years old. Â For that reason I like to keep my decor fun and cute-sy, not at all spooky. Â I mean I’m not judging you if you have a coffin with a bloody hand coming out of it and some tombstones in your front yard, but I personally like to keep my decor PG and little kid friendly…..even if my own kiddos are older now.
The stick on 3d bats and spiders I bought at Target last year have lived to see another year! Â These bats are really similar if you’re looking for some waterproof, easy outdoor Halloween decorations that you’ll be able to reuse again year after year. Â I used command strips to stick them on this year, and they’re holding on just fine.
The broomstick is a new addition from HomeGoods this year. Â It’s lighted which I love!
My camilla plant died a horrible death late this summer.  I embraced my black thumb and painted the dead plant black then stuck a little blackbird (from Michael’s) on her.  How’s that for using what you’ve got.  😉  …….a black bird in a dead tree…….that’s how the song goes right?  😉
Do you decorate for Halloween? Â Super scary? Â Or not so spooky? Â What’s your Halloween style?
Your place looks great (!), but I have begun to think about when “decorating” for halloween became a thing beyond just putting a pumpkin out? I ask because I thing about all that “stuff” that is made in China and purchased for not much money, but little by little, all this decorating for these minor holidays must add up – not just money, but where does all of america KEEP all this stuff from year to year?! Not trying to be critical, but you note that you are not really a halloween decorating person, yet you have bats and spiders etc – just really wondering about it lately as I feel odd for just putting a pumpkin on the toes and planting some mums!
