Things I love: Tricky Treats

I had Doctor's orders to stay home and rest yesterday, but he told me to make sure to mix in a little activity. So clearly I interpreted that into watching old movies, reading blogs and decorating my house for Halloween.
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for and this is just the beginning of my decorating. I have my big Pumpkin party coming up in a few weeks so, I plan go crazy with my Halloween decor.
My glitter skulls are one of my favorite decorations.
I made them a few years ago and have displayed them in my cake stand every year since stealing the idea from Martha.

My Mom brought over a bunch of squashes that were picked from her friends garden.
These will be scattered around my house.

I busted out my old Autumn Pennant, purchased last year on Etsy from Funkyshique.
Framed by two Glitter pumpkins a'la Martha.

Just walking by my skull cake-stand makes me happy.

I can't wait to bust out more of my goodies!

Hopefully I will be back later with a Look of the Day!
