Fall Decorations - Part 1

This year my Fall decorating will be limited by a certain "little bitty evil kitty" !!! I have forgotten how much mischief a kitten can get into. There have been many crashes around the house - so no glass ornaments this Halloween! I can live with it for a year, but I will be a lot more upset about it at Christmas. Maybe she will calm down by then!

In the parlor I decided to be minimal (for Me) and limit the decoration to a "crow tree" and a few pumpkins on the mantle. Lulu is not interested in the mantle, but she is wild about the crow tree. It will not last long. I saw this on another blog (wish I could remember where) - I had the crows, painted the branches and a thrift store urn black and used some floral foam to anchor them.

The mirror came out of a neighbor's trash pile.

Here she is after taking down the tree. There are pieces of branches on the floor. She is hiding - waiting to plan the next attack.

These are close-ups of the pumpkin people in the kitchen. They are paper mache so they can stand up to kitten attacks. She has not discovered the feathers on their hats yet! I made them several years ago. They used to sit on the Parlor mantle.....change is good. They are made from candle sticks gathered from thrift stores, Styrofoam balls, cheesecloth and scraps of trims! I made similar snowmen for Christmas.
