THE FUN OF HALLOWEEN DECOR

I haven't always embraced Halloween.   There was a time when I was careful to go the "cute" route with happy pumpkins and bales of hay (not that there is anything wrong with that) sticking to what would naturally occur in my decor.

Maybe it's having grand boys around or maybe it's just not really caring as much what my house
should and shouldn't look like according to what my peers are doing, I'm not sure but as I have gotten a bit older I am more likely to embrace my spooky side and throw in a few skeletons, spiders and witches.

Heck even sparkly, sequined purple bats have made their way into my heart and home this year and I am absolutely loving it.

That's the great thing about Halloween... 

because it's a holiday purely for fun it's so much easier to throw caution (and sometimes taste, ha! ha!) to the wind and just go for it.  And when you have stores like the Dollar Tree putting out such cute stuff it's easy to do it without breaking the bank or even your budget.

This year as we have for the last nine years, I decorated our dining room hutch and the front porch with the help and supervision of my nine year old grandson.  What a fun way to spend time with him and teach him the value of traditions.

I also changed out our table centerpiece but I'll show that and a party buffet tablescape next week.  So what about you, Yay or Nay to Halloween decor?
