As you know, if you have followed me for the several years I've been blogging, this is my favorite month of the year! I love everything Halloween. Especially collecting witch 'dolls'. I have over 100 now. The past few years I don't even bother to unpack the resin witches stored in boxes...I just get the ones out that are dressed to the nines and show off their outfits. I name them too. Well, mostly. I pin name tags under the dresses so I can remember. This year, the best hag I found I named after my late mother in law!! [Helen Gwendolyn] Yes I did. And Bud doesn't mind. By the way, she is now sitting at the head of the dining room table!! I will show case all the new ones [and some older from years past] plus the lighting I have around the house. And my decorated black pine tree [which I really don't care for all that much...maybe next year I can improve it somehow].
I'll start the month off with my life-sized BEESOM that I made last year. I didn't hang it as I did last year. When it was sitting out in preparation to hang, Isaiah was curious...crept up on it, and when he smelled the cinnamon on the broom's bristles he backed off. Aha! Safe to leave it propped up on the floor. He doesn't like scented brooms. Yay!!
