Halloween is in the House!

It literally is in my house (she says in her best Rachel Zoe voice).

It's the first time I've decorated my mantle for something besides Christmas and I love it! I probably went a tad overboard but I tend to not show restraint when it comes to seasonal decor and since the mantle is the only place my dog and cats can't get to, I went all out. **giggles**

The best part was, I already owned close to everything I used on the mantle so it wasn't an expensive project.

I got the sparkly leaves on clearance at WalMart last year and the pine cones from Target's Dollar Spot this year.


I had the frame from TJ Maxx and the Halloween pin-up by Gil Elvgren was from an old calendar.


I made a few potion bottles too! Empty containers of salsa, trail mix, and liquor never looked so cute.

You can't see them, but the Petrified Butterflies jar has little feather butterflies in it.

The peacock feathered butterflies were a old purchase from Pier 1 and the big purple witch hat on the end was from an old costume (but I couldn't get a good photo of the hat).
It was really fun to do!

Credit given where credit is due: The print out labels I used for the potion jars are from Love Manor. You will find so many great Halloween ideas there and they have a ton of labels posted on Flickr for free! I also used A Fanciful Twist's art and decor as inspiration, her potion post in particular. Check them out!
