Our mantel is looking very Halloweeny!
The boys love it
and show it off to any visitors
that happen to stop by.
I just love watching them
proudly point out each spooky detail.

There are glittery bats...
tiny stripy pumpkins...
a candy corn tree...
glittery pumpkins and gourds...
vintage post cards wrapped in tinsel...
and ghostly lanterns.
I just love transforming my mantel
to celebrate the season.
To me it is pretty important to create
a sense of home
and create traditions.
It's my job to give my kids
a childhood to remember...
one silly mantel at a time.

How cute.. Christmas is my thing, although hubby would do our whole yard for halloween complete with a walk through haunted trail or something given the time and money to do it.
My kids are 11 and 14,and as I put out the last of the decorations over the weekend., I wondered why...if they were too old to appreciate them. Then I realized how much I still like them, and it is something they have always known---like your children who are so enthused. I can't expect them to "ooh" and "ah", but that doesn't mean they don't still like it, right?
How cute! My kids love to see decorations out. I really wish I had a mantle so I could do stuff like that, too.
I've always done the same.
Even as adults, I think they appreciate it.

I love the vintage look. Your boys will always remember how festive your house looked for Halloween! Fun to make such a sweet memory.
Love, love, love it! That post card garland is so fantastic, Leigh.
