Halloween at Night at Our Spooky World PG

Ad-Free Blog

Dear Readers,

             I've showed our daytime outdoor decor, 

but Our Spooky World 

comes Alive at Night!

Just a quick walk down the lane here, 

Our HUGE (16 foot) spider web is solar and strung on our flag pole, and so far works perfectly on at dusk and for 6 hours. The spiders are on batteries and they work for 6 hours when it goes dark, also. 3 weeks and we haven't had to change batteries!

The front of the garage lit up! Warm and inviting a bit of spiders but fanciful too.

oldnewgreenredo

The lamp square, these bushes are huge this year...the one on the left grew its tower top  this year from being round forever. The spider is battery operated with a timer and flashes, they are so fun.

oldnewgreenredo

This is our new fence last year, first time decorated, with torches and purple lights, simple but effective.

oldnewgreenredo

Skellies supported by fencing...just a bit of fun. Their eyes I'm saving to light up on Halloween when they come alive, lol. The are out front and not on the trick or treater lane, so removed from the kids! 

oldnewgreenredo

we used a small green spot for this.

oldnewgreenredo

Two phantom pumpkins hide in the bushes, BOOO!

oldnewgreenredo

The porch table lit up...the one on the lower left flashes and darn I couldn't catch it on. 

oldnewgreenredo

I took all the houseplants in, so this pumpkin is on a chair now...with a Happy face!

oldnewgreenredo

The garage has a bit of glow with a green bulb, some orange lights, each big planter has a lit pumpkin in it, all from thrift stores. All the Dahlias have still  not been nipped, such a mild Fall so far. Their dark green leaves add to the spookiness, though.

oldnewgreenredo

How about this big one, was only 3.99 and  needed a new bulb. Lights are on the trellis.

oldnewgreenredo

Our pumpkin walkway---these are solar and so cool!

I hope we have lots of 

Treaters and no Tricks! Grins.

I will post at the following Link Parties, I hope you visit them.

Our Halloween Outdoor Style!

Ad-Free Blog

Our Halloween decor has been out for three weeks, but continually tweaked here and there. We finally had a calm day with sunshine, perfect for some photos.

 

oldnewgreenredo

Our pumpkin lights are ancient. I originally cut holes in a bunch of trick or treat pumpkins years ago to place on lights stuck in the ground along the walk. Then the solar chargers were perfect size to use as a black hat as the pumpkins sat on the ground. Now with the railing and the railing solar lights, I tried the old pumpkins and it works. 

We have a bit of a spider theme going, so I added a spider to each one...also very old.

oldnewgreenredo

It's been summer here in Chicagoland until this week...goodness, I have blooming Dahlias and everything is still thick and growing. Frost is forecasted for this weekend, so that will be the end of flowering and tomatoes.

oldnewgreenredo

Our garage walkway...with all the decor.

oldnewgreenredo

We didn't put any blow ups this year, we had two weeks of wind/rain and mayhem, so if it couldn't be anchored to the ground it didn't go out. 

Our Skellies are standing guard...and really creepy at night.

oldnewgreenredo

Keeping trick or treaters in mind, our decor is basically pretty friendly. All my decor is really old....I just move it around...look at the blooms still going.

oldnewgreenredo

Dahlias in the pots along the garage, each has a thrifted lit pumpkin!

oldnewgreenredo

Mermaid is going fancy this year

oldnewgreenredo

Hubby brought three gates home, perfect against the mustard garage.

oldnewgreenredo

That Dahlia produced tons of leaves and not many flowers...maybe next year.

oldnewgreenredo

Another gate and my orange pots of flowers work well with the season.

oldnewgreenredo

Everytime our neighbors ancient Elm spews a branch I steal it for structure in my pots.

oldnewgreenredo

There is another one..its over 6 feet long and stripped of bark...will move it somewhere else. 

oldnewgreenredo

The porch is sunshine and cozy...lots of color and a bit of Halloween with the pumpkinns

oldnewgreenredo

I can't wait to show you the night pics...and maybe blow the leaves off ...a daily problem.

oldnewgreenredo

My Metal Greenhouse is decked for Fall, just a couple of solar lanterns to set it off at night.

oldnewgreenredo

What is more Halloween than a Bat Wreath..bought last year at 90% off. Cardboard decor is a quick fix for windows, also from years ago 20 or so.

oldnewgreenredo

Come on and sit a spell...I promise the cat will leave you alone...!

Halloween at our Haunted Mansion.

AD-FREE BLOG

 We still aren't in full house-living mode, with so many totes and seasonal items displaced. I have only utilized what I have found so far...well, maybe next year?

Thursday I had my monthly doll club meeting, and this is the meeting where everyone goes nuts and brings 3 or more dolls to display in some spooktacular settings. This year was no different. I imagine there were more than 90 dolls at this meeting.

My dolls' seasonal is all messed up, too. I knew where I had one small box full of costumes, and I knew where this doll was and her fantastic dress. I paired her Venetian Muse gown, sans the crazy headpiece, and added a Vampire cape....her accessories are for the Halloween masked Ball, and of course a spare bottle of blood, just in case pickings were slim at the ball.

oldnewgreenredo

Madam Venetian Muse said, "My Dearone, this bottle is near empty, would you like to step into my carriage and I'll whisk you away to my Chateau for a nightcap?!" 

Mrrr aaaa HAahaHA-ha-Ha......!

olndwgreenredo

Another member's Fabulous Barbie House redone into a Haunted Mansion or Hotel....! all the rooms were full of spooky things and dolls!

oldnewgreenredo

Of course the Bride of Frankenstein is leading the gals outside!'

oldnewgreenredo

Costumes varied from Barbie Western, to classic,  to Skellies!

oldnewgreenredo

Another cute scene were the little kiddies...out for

Trick or Treating! 

oldnewgreenredo

How about Mattel's big American Girls ready for banging on doors for Treats and

        SWEETS!       

oldnewgreenredo

I took Venetian Muse home and she almost looks like she is casting a spell on the toadstool.

oldnewgreenredo

She is so over-the-top dramatic in black and white!

oldnewgreenredo

At home, my Venetian Muse had to land on the Buffet. 

Who could forget that rattling bass voice of Lurch?

oldnewgreenredo

One of the fun things we did at the meeting was make this fabulous Vellum backdrop...some glue and paste as our craft host cut all the paper on a Circuit machine. 

Helen BC is still center stage, but is joined with my artisan gourd cat...so cute.

My mom's antique copper coffee pot, some toadstools, Lurch's bell pull. Who could forget that rattling bass voice of Lurch?

"You Rang.....!" 

I had fun with this, and moved it around until I thought it was done.

Oldnewgreenredo

Decorating differently each year is sometimes quite organic and always changing as the season goes along. Remove and add and it will be a quick change to Thanksgiving in a few weeks.

oldnewgreenredo

My monster $Store Spider is just the right touch, they had been destined for the lamp post outside...but the weather has been too cruddy to work outside. 

oldnewgreenredo

Sitting on a artisan pumpkin, HelenBC is perfect for the season

Oldnewgreenredo

And the handmade backdrop is spooky for the setting! 

This is all I will be doing for Halloween! 

Hope you are having a 

     SPOOKTACULAR  

      Halloween SEASON!
