Just before the big candy day, I decided to add a few simple decorations for Halloween.
My mother-n-law bought the painted gourd 20 years ago at a craft fair. When gourds dry, they become very light and when you give a shake, you can hear the seeds inside.
Ann from "On Sutton Place" has a tutorial on how to make a gourd beautiful and pictures of other craft ideas you can make from gourds. She has a lovely website full of creativity and inspiration!

Mr. Owl has been on vacation since guarding my fig tree early summer. I decided to put him to work for Halloween, then he can rest for the winter. Hoot Hoot!
Have a happy and safe Halloween...Boo!
Fun halloween decor! Can't believe we're into November now...Yikes!

Thank you Mary Alice and before you know it, December will be here. Looking forward to your Christmas decorating!
DeleteI love gourds, Judy. There's an artist in Estes Park, Colorado who paints gourds and they are stunning. Your Halloween gourd is fun. xxx ~ Nancy
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy...I too love all the odd shape, bumpy and colorful designs that gourds have naturally. It is always fun to pick out the most interesting ones! Enjoy your upcoming Thanksgiving!
DeleteHi! Judy, I just found your blog and am your newest follower. My favorite of your decorations is obviously the precious living kitty. My favorite non living animal in your decorations is the blue owl. He is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan...I use my owl to scare away the birds when my figs are ripe in the early summer and he does a wonderful job!
DeleteCute Halloween touches! LOVE your gorgeous kitty...we had one that looked a lot like him/her! :)

Thank you Susan...This is Mac and it is that time of the year where he starts shedding a lot! I usually will give him a hair cut and he looks a little like a black lion. :)
