Halloween Vignette

I like to celebrate all the holidays with some kind of decorations and Halloween is no exception. I started with an old window I just recently found at my favourite antique shop (a treasure) and layered a metal picture of a bird on top of it. I then added a black candelabra with black and white candles. I spray painted some dried baby's breath that I had picked this past summer and stuck it in an old vase. In the process of spray painting outside, a few real leaves got painted so I decided to include them (and added a few more). The witch was a gift from a friend and the branches I found out in my yard. Add in the usual spider webs and spiders and there you have it! So simple but so fun!

is that a ghost over there on the left side?

I love these black leaves

don't you just love that paint job on the window?

lovely panes

rusty metal picture

I wonder what strange elixir might have been in these bottles . . .

eek!

    You did a great job with this vignette. I love all the eerie and rustic elements...makes me feel like I'm in an authentic haunted house. Love the painted babies breath--what a great idea! I'd love if you checked my "mantle" out too! http://www.honeybearlane.com/2011/09/halloween-memories-and-vignettes.html

    Halloween is far from our tradition, but I can't help putting some decorations! I love yours, especially bottles and this strange witch:)
