When did I become a person with a Halloween door hanger? This year, apparently.
Above, our bookshelves and our new sideboard, decorated with little things we love: small cast iron cauldrons (which I may yet use for baking individual apple pies this fall); a little ghost candle holder; our jack-o-lantern candy holder with painted at Color Me Mine; a black cat perfume bottle (probably from Avon in the 1970s or 80s); and a black cat my youngest drew a few years ago.
This year, we “booed” some of our favorite local teachers. They got an after-dark present on their doorsteps. The witches at top are made from milk jugs painted green with faces drawn on them, topped with witches’ hats. Inside was candy and a bottle of wine. The mummies are toilet paper-wrapped bottles of wine with googly eyes (which we try to keep on hand by the gross). It was so fun to say “thank you” to teachers for their work this year this way!
