Welcome to an Autumnal gathering hosted by Artsymama!
(Enjoy the links I added too)
No need to ring or knock, I’m expecting you!!
Isn’t this a silly tin bucket?
The coleus is just starting to fade and wither, but looks pretty on the step next to the faux pumpkin. I love to carve pumpkins, but haven’t done one in years. Maybe I will this year!
If you look through my front bay window, you’ll see a tower of pumpkins and Casper the Friendly ghost!
I have an antique hutch with some cute figurines on it to the right of the front door. The one holding the pumpkin cookie cutter is an Annalee.
I wrapped some leaves around my Nancy Noel painting to give it a special look for the season.
I saw this sign at Michael’s and had to get it since I live on the west end of my road-the ‘Wicked Witch of the West’
I have this sign on the other side of the bay window
Under the Treats sign sits a Scarecrow I made 14 yrs ago and little Valentino the Webkinz frog dressed in a Boo Sweater
This is actually a demitasse cup holder, but I added faux pumpkins and coppery ribbon I found at the Dollar Store
This is the fireplace mantel. I have three mosaic urns on display for autumn, two on the mantel.
I cross stitched the middle of this wreath back in 2001
I saw this idea in Michael’s so I added some glitter to a faux white pumpkin
I’ve had this little Anne Geddes pumpkin baby for years. My son was born a week before Halloween, so I keep this on display all year long. That’s Sean in the background. My mom gave me the glass pumpkin.
I purchased this awesome Halloween Book from Tootie over at Honey Girl Studios (the link is to her site All Hallow’s Eve). and love it with my orange and black glass mushrooms. I have a small collection of mushrooms since I live near ‘The Mushroom Capital of the World’
This a Halloween tree on table next to my special book. I have many Art Trading Cards that I made stuck in its branches. The tags are by Tootie.
Here’s what it looks like lit up showcasing a tag I bought from Tootie (from a set)
I have a small collection of owls. I know I have an owl cookie jar somewhere too! I cross stitched the box lid.
Casper looks spooky and cute all lit up!
Here’s my bay window. I have glass pumpkins that I added orange lights to. I have a few crystal pieces that made the window glow.
A little trick or treater in my Halloween tree
More orange glow
Thanks for visiting. Happy Autumn and Happy Halloween!

Just love your Casper and lighted display and especially your sweet ending. Thanks for visiting my blog on the autumn gathering.
I love the tree display with the ATC’s. The demitasse cup holder with the pumpkins is also a fun element. I could see how it would come in handy for many holidays.

Wow, Dianne, you really went all out this year–It’s beautiful! What a clever idea to use the demitasse cup holder for the little pumpkins.
I love how you get such pleasure out of your bay window by decorating it so nicely for each holiday.
The ending made me laugh…so cute.
I want to present you with an autumn decor award. I received this myself and now pass it along to four other artists. I really enjoyed my first time visit to your blog and felt the post was beautiful. You may pick up your badge at my blog.
