Saving the best...

for Clara!

Remember my Altered People project?
Well, I didn't show you this piece before...

because I saved it for my Sister
and didn't want to ruin the surprise...

She received it today
and she says she likes it...

Aren't they just beautiful girls?
The one on the right actually
looks like Clara when she was a little girl,
that's why when I saw it,
I knew she was meant for my sister!

She decorates for Halloween
(she is not like me!)
and I think the girls will feel perfectly at home there!


This week I will photograph her decor and share it with you,
just in case you need some Vintage Inspiration,
in the meantime,
visit Debra at Common Ground!!

White Wednesday

A little bird told me...

it's time to work on Halloween!
Yikes!

Not much black and orange on my work table...
but I found some
dictionary pages..
a couple of crows...
some vintage trims...

and of course some glitter...

I think these vintage photograph holders
are liking their new look.
Closed...

and open...

And I love the fact that they are mostly white,
so I can share them with all the White Wednesday Girls!

Shadow Shot Sunday

We woke up this morning and found our French Gentleman Bust

...in drag!

Pure glam...right there in a corner, just waiting to have fun...

It must be Halloween!!


Have a happy and safe one!

For lots of scarily talented photographers visit:
Hey Harriet!

Things change...

With 4 teenagers now between the two of us, Halloween is just not what it used to be...
How cute are they???? This was Halloween 1997...

With time, even our decor has changed.
No more spider webs or scary moving rats or talking skeletons...
Now we decorate with a less scary but more sophisticated look...
Are you up for a tour? Come in, let us show you what we mean...

Welcome to Clara's house...

where subtle touches in the entryway will let you know that this family is ready for the Season...

The dining room table:
Pearls, crystals, and rhinestones happily mixed with burlap and straw...

Shells are replaced by a collection of "fall" paintings, pumpkins and gourds...

More black and orange on the mantle...

Inside the china cabinet...
(The sisters tag was made by Chas at the Wild Raspberry: Adorable!)

and under the cloches...

Yes, things and times change...and as we look back, of course we feel a little nostalgic, but we choose to look forward and get excited for the good things to come because...

When witches go riding,

and black cats are seen,

the moon laughs and whispers,

‘tis near Halloween.
