It's a Scary Subject

Halloween is drawing near...

...so is my desire to decorate for the season.

However-the season always seems to disappear 

before 

I have as much as a black wreath on the door or a skeleton in the window.  

I think that is why I adore 

gathering and glaring at photographs of other's Halloween decorations.

They make me feel as though I am there-

in the spooky spirit and haunted happiness 

of Halloween.

-the imaginative lady who evoked these eerie images-

certainly brings out the ghostly gawker in me ;-)

(All photos above except the skeleton hello and black crepe wreath 

were published in Better Homes and Gardens October 2007 issue. 

Skeleton hello is from a current catalog whose name I cannot remember because I tore it out without noting it..oops.

The black crepe paper wreath is from Family Circle magazine)

May you be enchanted too.
