I have always been one to decorate more for the fall than for Halloween.
Until my kids got older and complained it wasn't scary enough. So we added a huge spider, some webs, an ugly rat and on the night of Halloween I put out a flying bat and turn on the fog machine. They love it!
Every year, one of my neighboors carves these amazing pumpkins. Here are a few pics I thought you might like.
For more fall porch decorating, head over to Melissa's at The Inspired Room.
What a demure little "beware haunted" sign...nice touch. And the carved pumpkins are great fun!
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkins are amazing! Thanks for sharing those pictures!
ReplyDeleteWe have a huge spider in front of our porch lights too!
I love your white tiered holder with the pumpkins and sign. I want one too!
Your porch is very pretty - and I just can't beleive someone had the patience to do those pumpkins! Thank you for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Dawn! I know what you mean about kids wanting more scary than pretty! My son insisted on spiders amongst the pretties. Nice!
ReplyDeleteHappy day, thanks for being a part of the drivebys...so fun!

I love the tiered holder too! And the pumpkins...how DO they do that?!
ReplyDeleteAnd I haven't really ever decorated for fall much until this year. I went more the "Autumn" route instead of Halloween so I don't have to take it down until after Thanksgiving!
Dawn ~ I love your fall decorating ! I am really really bad now that my kids are out of the house ~ the only thing I decorate for is Christmas ~
ReplyDeleteYou go girl !

Dawn,
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks awesome. That rat did scare me though! OMG!!!
I'm a bit jealous since I didn't decide to decorate for Halloween this year. I needed a break and the $$ too.
