Halloween Decor

  While I was setting up the table for  Griselda's birthday dinner I also decorated the buffet in a festive manner.

On the left side  I placed a purple glittered skull on top of books from Goodwill. Perfect colors and titles for the season!

The tombstone is from the Dollar Tree.

The candelabra was found at ARC Thrift. I dripped some wax from a red candle onto the white candles. This is one time I did not concern myself with the candles  being perfectly straight! The ghouls really aren't that particular about details.

Crows are perched here and there to watch over the birthday festivities.

The orange spidery runner was purchased last year, on clearance, from Big Lots. The Witch Is In came from Hobby Lobby several years ago.

The thrift store broom started out like this. I pulled off the heavily glued Christmas decorations,

spray painted it black and sprinkled silver and purple  glitter all over it. Several coats of spray clear and it was ready to gift to Griselda for her birthday.

On the left side of the buffet I placed a skull inside  an estate sale purchased  metal and glass cage.

I was able to capture some of Griselda's pet mice and get them into the cage too. The big rat decided he'd rather keep watch from on top.

 All of my guests seemed to be very pleased with the party decor. Griselda loved her new broom, as purple is her favorite color, and her  centuries old one was too small and worn.

Once again, the ghouls were sure I had cast a mystical spell to obtain such pretty decor at such magical prices!
