OMgosh, are these all your decorations, or are you just giving us inspiration. I remember that you posted a lot of pictures of your halloween decorations last year, but I don't remember well enough to tell if this is your home.

These are wonderful pictures. I love the stacked plates with the little jack-o-lanterns, the candalier (what are the berries? I love them.) All of the outdoor decorations are great.

AND I think those are the plates I've been chasing since I passed them by last spring in CT.

Thanks for sharing.- Gail

Wow! What great eye candy! People are just so darn talented and creative--I love it! That outside table with all the gourds, corn stalks, etc. just spoke to me--that is so cute. And would you look at those stacked plates with the jack o lanterns--sure hope Judith, our stacked plate tutor, gets to see that one! How about those black pumpkins with the gold designs--love it all! Thanks so much for sharing Yachter. Luvs

I also loved that outside table with the gourds and gold pumpkins. And the photo right below it of the pumpkins with lanterns on them, for some reason that really appealed to me. And the chandelier in the last photo. WOW.
Lots of eye candy to get "in the mood".

hugs, Karen

Gail, OH NO, that is not my decor, if I told you all the things I have going on right now, you'd know for sure that is none of mine.

I was trying to relax last nite & got to surfing & found all those & thought some of them might inspire us with some new ideas.

Luvs & Karen, I loved the stacking plates too and the "trick or treat" ones, I just wish I had benches or shelves to put something like that on in the front yard.

Yes, the pic outside with the chairs & table is to die for, wish I had the time, the space & the energy for something like that.

The first pic with the black & white plates reminds me alot of what Tam (Gypsy) did last year, I remember she used a lot of plates with black in them. They probably stole her idea!!!

Just thought you all might enjoy all that wonderful EYE CANDY!!

Karen, forgot, I stopped at GW today, the clear candle holders with the braided stems that I've used in many of my tablescapes got broken, well one did, they were two different heights & the last time I used them & went to remove them, I bumped the tall one & it tipped & shattered!

I've been sick about it & have been trying to find similar at yard sales with no luck, so today I stopped at GW and found 4 different ones, only one had a nice stem to it, but I guess I will be mixing & matching them for a while.

They are not for tapers but the medium sized candles & those holders were perfect for them. Also GW had a lot of Halloween things, but I have plenty of that for a few years.

Yachter,

I've had a clipping of that picture with the "trick or treat" pumpkins on a wire rack for years. I have a wire rack to use, but have you seen the price of pumpkins?! They're $4.50 apiece at Wal-Mart! I'm hoping to find some at the farmer's markets or local farms around here in the next couple of weekends. The best thing would be to find some foam pumpkins and carve them, but all I've seen at yard sales are the lighted jack o'lanterns.

You have some other great ideas I'll add to my file (I'll never live long enough to do all this stuff...)

Magpie, I tried growing pumpkins one year, but in the midwest we aren't warm long enough & YES the price is outragious!

Too bad the farmer at the end of our street grows field corn & not pumpkins!!

Karen, my neighbor just brought over a Country Living magazine for me, and the pumpkins with the lanterns are in there. They way you can download the pattern on their website, so I'll have to go look for it when I get off here.

I think Fall really makes me miss the farms where I grew up. All the cornstalks, bales of hay, brightly colored leaves, etc. Guess I need to get busy and start pulling out my fall decorations--although I know mine won't be anywhere nearly as nice as these pics!

Luvs

Luvs, I get Country Living. Great magazine!
Yacht, GW is one of my favorite places to find stuff. Especially holiday goodies. Last Fall, after Michaels had their big sales, I got quite a few faux pumpkins and gourds.
Love them. I did find two gourds in GW recently too. Yay.

Magpie, don't forget to browse our Fall Inspiration Album.
I will continue adding photos so you might want to bookmark it. Besides the ones on here, I browse Flickr and the web for any thing I can snag to add to our albums on Photobucket.
I recently added 8 new images to the Fall album, giving us 127 pictures in there now. I need to add some of these in the post too.
(Our Halloween decor album is separate, so go to main Holiday Albums page and get the link to it from there. Also, Fall table-settings LINK will be on my own front page (the main page, sangaree) with all the other Holiday table settings).

hugs, Karen

Yachter, thanks for sharing these inspiration pics! I just love all of them and will be coming back to check them out often!

DD

Ohhhhhh, what wonderful ideas . . . thanks, Yachter!
I especially like this one:

Actually, I love them all!

Love that idea with the black ivy--I think you can still get ivy garlands at Walmart for about $3 but it is thicker than this, guess it could be thinned out a bit.

I am not good at carving pumpkins, so I really like the idea of painting a design on them instead.

Magpie, gosh if you have a wonderful wire rack like that, don't wait to get enough pumpkins to spell out "Trick or Treat", just put a couple pumpkins, some pretty fall foliage, maybe even some pinecones on it and enjoy it anyway!

Luvs

Great ideas, Yachter!!
I love the stacked pumpkins. I think even I could do that!
I am not good at stacked plates!!

Now that my house guests are gone, and the Birthday Party is over, and the construction is done, I guess I will pull out the Fall decos..but it is still warm...AC still on!

Thanks for sharing those!

I am not normally a fan of black and orange (shame on me) but I saw this wreath (on Flickr, by vintage mouse) and think its really pretty! I've added it to our Halloween inspiration album too. I've never done a Halloween wreath but now am tempted.

hugs, Karen

Luvs the Dollar Tree probably has thin ivy like that year round, that way you're not spray paiting expensive ivy you may want to use later on.

Kathleen, we have our AC on again here in Illinois, didn't have much hot weather in the summer, but in the mid 80's this week & humid as heck here.

I have nothing out for fall yet, I usually go big on Halloween for my table & then after Halloween, I do more fall for Thanksgiving.

I don't know why, there is just something about Halloween that I like decorating for, I guess cause it's just a "for fun" holiday!

Karen, how did I scroll past that wreath?? That is cute & with the Boo in the middle, really different for door wreaths, I like it too!

Keep forgetting to tell you all, DH & I are taking a little day trip to Champaign, Il. this next weekend, that is where the GORDMAN'S store is, the one with all the cool decor, that we usually stop at when we go there for college basketball games. We just need a get-away & I told him I'd love to go shopping there without rushing to make it to a game, so we are going to shop til I drop & alos hit the mall there (which we rush thru on game days) and then eat out on the way home. I'll let you know all the cool fall & Halloween goodies I see there & maybe a few pics of things I "might" buy! LOL
