It's time for Fall on the mantle,
but who could resist a little Halloween tucked in?
so Fall-O-Ween...
(click photos to enlarge)
I had dreamt of a black and white fall decor,
but the rich colors of fall were irresistible,
if only for a moment...
BOO!
a scary banner,
I made years ago...
I love crows,
but maybe the naughty creatures are best
kept under glass...
cut autumn branches are the easiest
and cheapest way,
to bring the beauty of the season inside....
and they smell wonderful!
my warty pumpkins
from my pumpkin farm trip...
(see here)
it seems a witch stopped by
and left a few things laying around :-)
I have relit my faux fireplace
and it seems to have stirred up a mouse (or is that a rat?)...
but don't worry
when my back was turned, the girls
took care of it!!
he is now a one eared rat :-)
Tonight I am joining,
and
Thanks for stopping by today...

I love you Fall-o-ween mantle. Everything is just right and very inspirational! Thank You for sharing!
Looks like party time around here! Very festive. I like the viney leaves! I went looking for some, but none to be found here. Your warty pumpkins carry the tone! Ewww! What are you serving? That rat has sniffed out SOMETHING! Perfect perch for the witchy gear on your cage. Great idea! Trick or treat!
It looks great! I love the BOO banner. ;)
Very pretty!
Love that Fall-o-ween, great way to mix both and love the colors too. Hugs Marilou

Oh, Bella this is wonderful! I love the witch's hat on the birdcage! Sorry I'm late getting by, had lack of internet and modem 1/2 of last week. Thank you for joining me for the HSH Fall Open House!

Super cute display!!

Luv your Halloween display Bella! It is very cool and reminds me of Victoria Magazine vignettes. You did a wonderful job Thanks for sharing.....Julian
Love your Fall Decor! That faux fireplace just creates such a cozy atmosphere! I bought two crows this year and perched them on an empty bird cage. They made me think of the Alfred Hitchcock movie! I like your "window" too! Your blog is beautiful! I can't wait to see what you do for Thanksgiving, which I think doesn't get enough attention. Blessings!
