If You Dare {Halloween: Punny Skeletons}

 After a year without the skeleton display due to the pandemic, the skeletons are back in full force on the corner of St. Charles Avenue and State Street. J and I walked down to the house this morning to check out some new skeletons as well as some old favorites.

I love the creativity of the skeletons. Let me know which is your favorite(s).

If You Dare {Halloween: Pretty Pumpkins}

 Decorative pumpkins have come a long way. Today, many are handpainted or decoupaged works of art. I have a few painted and decoupaged pumpkins that I have purchased and some that have been gifted to me.

If You Dare {Halloween: Pumpkin Stack}

 I adore a good pumpkin stack, and this year's pumpkin stack game is on point thanks to the amazing pumpkins from Perino's Home & Garden Center. I love how each stack fits atop the olive jars. A number of folks have asked what's holding them in place. My answer... "gravity!" To each stack, I added vines of bittersweet and a few black crows.
