Scary Bottles!

I really failed in my Halloween decorating this year. I only put out a few things and most of them are new- so I did not have to dig in the attic! I used some bottles that were hanging around the craft room for this display.

This one is more cute than scary -a Hobby Lobby 90% off find.

REALLY SCARY BOTTLE found in our basement- Rat Poison!!! Don't worry I washed it -

Violet Water bottle - found in our attic -down between the rafters- label looks like those rats munched on it!

Last year at the Country Living Fair I bought a bunch of labels - this is my favorite because it is from a drug store in Tuskegee, AL.

Old medicine bottle from Angel's Antiques - with new label. Some of the medicine bottles still had the drugs in them! I passed on them!

Rats!

I gave in to peer pressure! After seeing these Martha Stewart rats around blogland I wanted them to come live at my house. Research showed they could be purchased at Micheal's- which we do not have. The closest one is 45 minutes away. Oh, well - maybe next year!

As luck would have it we made a side trip to Michael's in Atlanta and there they were...and on sale, too! Mine.....

Scared the boy :)

Tablecloth Project

My camera has been MIA for a couple of weeks. Hubby needed it at work. I got it back today in time to share the tablecloth project that I started over Labor Day weekend. My inspiration for the tablecloth was a pile of Halloween fabric scraps and the glitter pumpkins I made.

I started with my old Halloween jumper. I wore this about 13 years ago- I know because the boy had a matching John-John. I have trouble getting rid of old clothes that have fond memories attached to them! There was a lot of fabric in this jumper.....

I used the jumper for the center of the tablecloth and I just pieced the boarder from the scraps I had. The only cost was a black sheet from Goodwill used for backing and binding. I am not really a quilter so it is not as precise as it could be.....but it is cheerful!

Happy Halloween!

A Little Bit of Halloween

I love to decorate for seasons and holidays.....

Inside and

Outside.............

Of course the less money I spend, the better!

Total spent for this year's fall decorations.....$5.97.....for glitter and Dollar Tree pumpkins. Everything else is recycled, saved from years past, or made from supplies on hand! I have two more almost finished projects that will add about $4 to my total. I'll share them soon!
