BOOtiful Mummies {Halloween 2014}

 

I do love the skeleton home I showed you yesterday but have I got a treat for you today. One of my favorite Uptown  homes on State Street always does it right.

Check out how the owners make Halloween look so very classy.

BOOtiful PUNny Skeletons {Halloween 2014}

 

Once again, the owners of the skeleton manse at the corner of St. Charles Avenue and State Street have done it again. Their skeleton display is like none other than I’ve seen anywhere.

I think the best way to view this is to grab your cup of java/tea, sit back, and chuckle.

New ones include:

An homage to the ice bucket challenge

Olaf from Frozen

and some of my faves……

Isn’t this the coolest display? It gets better and better each and every year. I love to walk by on my Uptown jaunts.

Do YOU have a favorite?

I know I have been MIA for about a week. I have been busy, I have a sinus infection, and I’ve been bored (lack of inspiration). Stay with me, please!

Bootiful Skeletons, y’all!

Happy Wedding and Anniversary Day, Michael & Joey!

 25 years!

Yes, 25 years! These two met in college after all. Go Bulldawgs!

m and j

I am so happy to be friends with Michael and Joey. We have been friends since J & I met them during Mardi Gras 15 or so years ago. When I lived in Atlanta, we were all practically inseparable. We have spent some great times together.

Today, Michael and Joey are “tying the knot” in a small ceremony in San Francisco, CA.

Best Wishes, guys!

Through the years…

And before you ask, I have no idea when J & I will tie the knot, but I’ll let you know. There is a beach somewhere calling my name.

Please join me in wishing Michael and Joey many, many more years of happiness and love.

CELEBRATE!!!!!

BOOtiful Sir Elton John’s Fireside Candle {Halloween 2014}

 

This post is my version of Scentsational Scoop Halloween-style.

elton-holiday-fireside-cand

I first noticed this candle due to its seasonal perfect orange glass. The scent Fireside is perfect for the autumn cooler temperatures. The candle is made for Nest and a portion of the net proceeds from the sales of Sir Elton John's Fireside candles will be donated to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Win! Win!

From the website:

With the comforting combination of Madagascar Vanilla, exotic woods, smoky embers and juniper berry, this fragrance captures the warm, familiar aroma of smoldering fireside embers

The scent really does evoke the spirit of the Fall season.

I have one in the parlor.

BOOtiful Ghosts {Halloween 2014}

 

I do not do much Halloween in the rear part of the house, but I love to use these gauzy ghosts hanging from the large transoms atop the sliding glass doors.

I love the look of the whimsical ghosts as guests walk to the rear part of the home.

This year, I added a couple strings of black lights which make them even more eerie and spooktacular.
