~Happy Halloween and Simple & Sweet Fridays #87~

Happy Halloween!!

I just finished making special treats for the kids.

We're ready for all the Trick-or-Treaters!

It's always so much fun to see all the children in costume.

Love all the lights and candles glowing through-out the house!

I wanted to share Stan's Halloween costume last year.

He was a Garden Gnome.

He did such a good job on it.

I was a Garden Fairy!

We'll surprise you with this years costume next week!

Happy Halloween To All Our Blogging Friends!!

~ Happy Halloween Mirror and Simple & Sweet Fridays #34 ~

I love this idea of a mirror with ornaments.

I had it in the house last year, 

but thought it would be fun on the porch this year.

I placed it above my French Garden Chair.

I collected all kinds of fun ornaments to use on  the mirror for Halloween.

I just used a hot glue gun and let

 my imagination go.

Pier 1 and Target have a good selection.

Hope you like this idea.

When it's Christmas, 

I'll show you another mirror I made.

You can use a small or big mirror depending on what you'd like. 

Over your mantel or in your entryway, are some ideas.

Have fun with it!

Now on with the Party...

~Treasured Gifts & Simple & Sweet Fridays #33~

Halloween Trees are displayed on a new shelf given to me from my friend,

 Mary for my birthday.

It fits perfectly in it's new spot in 

the front entryway. 

I love the detail to it.

It will be fun to decorate.

I love my new Eiffel Tower Candelabra which Yuri gave me. I found a place outside in the garden for it. I'll be posting photos soon on how pretty it looks at night.

 Tami gave me these beautiful pumpkins which I love displaying for the fall.

Also Linda, gave me some new perfume "Pretty" from Elizabeth Arden.

 I'm so lucky to have such great friends. 

Thank you so much for all my wonderful presents, I love them!

The holidays are upon us and that means

 family and friends will be celebrating with us.

Fun times and lots of great memories to be made...

Enjoy!

Halloween Cloches and Simple & Sweet Fridays #32

Halloween is a wonderful holiday to display all your collections. 

I love the sparkle trees

 especially under a cloche.

A Boo pumpkin is so cute holding black and white straws waiting for a Halloween drink!

A little miniature table made out of paper displays these tiny orange pumpkins. 

A handmade vintage pillow finds a perfect spot to rest on some burlap.

Three little glitter trees,

on a simple white dish.

Hope everyone is having fun and getting great ideas from all the creative bloggers out there for Halloween. Thanks again to all my blogging friends for all their support!
