Recently I have noticed people going all out for Halloween in the decor department. In our neighborhood you could practically do a tour of lights just like at Christmas time. While I am not quite into that, it is nice to do a bit more than a single lit jack-o-lantern in the window(remember when that was it?) My solution was 4 bucks! I swapped pumpkins for our wilting flowers in our front boxes. The plentiful asparagus ferns should hold up for a few more weeks—hopefully until Halloween.

This guy was a recent $2.50 thrifting find—I thought it looked a little moody and perfect for the season. I saw a woman pick it up and say, “ugh, horrible.” Taste is a funny thing, isn’t it. I am glad she hated it, because now its mine!!
