Holidays, Getting Ready for Halloween
I’m all about Halloween this week,
transitioning my house from early Fall to late October
with a little Halloween decor…
Last year Skellie decided he wanted a Bubble Bath
Skellie is known to be mischievous…
One year he crashed the Ghosts on the Coast party
and waved to the neighbors from the bench on the front porch
He’s awfully skinny,
I think I’ll bake him some Candy Corn Lemon Danish
Or a Yummy Mummy,
a pastry braid full of asparagus and bacon
And some Raid the Pantry Cracker Toffee
I need to go to Trader Joe’s to get these mini pumpkin stems
that they carry every year,
they are so cute and look great in my Candy Corn Bucket
I’ve been playing with pumpkins in the dining room
And put a witch atop a Pumpkin Pillow
The bar area is decked out for Halloween
In the kitchen there’s a ghost trying to scare you away
from the oranges and candy filled pumpkin
Lots of Spooky stuff to be seen!
It’s almost time for Halloween!
I will be joining these fabulous parties and blogs:

You have me want to celebrate Halloween too 🙂 Those decorations are out of the world, Jenna.
Thanks Angie!
Your grandchildren must think you are the most fun grandmother in the world. The miniature pumpkins are actually Chinese eggplant. Go figure? I had Dom grow them for me one year. They are so decorative.
I’m lucky that they all are so close by, we have a lot of fun!
I got out a few Halloween things this morning too. It is only two weeks away!
I know, I can hardly believe it!!
Jenna, you do Halloween so well! I know the grands love everything you do. Happy Sunday!
Thanks Pam, they’re so used to my crazy ways they’re pretty oblivious 😂
You can tell this is one of your favorite times of year!
I do love the cute fun side of Halloween!
Great post! You have such fun Halloween displays. I stopped doing much as the kids got older but I’m sure I’ll be more inspired once the grandbabies start coming. I bet yours can’t wait to come visit Grandma every year! Thanks for sharing and have a lovely week ahead.
Thank you Denise, the skeleton in the bath tub was actually my 8 year old grandson’s idea! I loved Halloween as a child, so I tend to go a little overboard!
I love your whimsical take on Halloween! Such wonderful things to celebrate with. I imagine all the trick-or-treaters will flock to your house. I know I would!
Thank you Sandra, Halloween is such a fun holiday, I love watching the kids excitement!
My new subdivision goes all out for Halloween, so we will join in giving candy to the kiddos this year. We spent 7 years in Mexico where Halloween is not really celebrated. In the culture there, three days of focus around Day of the Dead involve lots of family customs, but no trick-or-treating. Lots of marigolds and celebrating the life of the departed at their graves.
I admire the Mexican Day of the Dead tradition of celebrating the life of those that have passed. I don’t like any gruesome Halloween stuff, only the cute fun decorations for me! Have fun with your trick or treaters!
I am very much in agreement on the gruesome decorations. Fall or CUTE Halloween is so much better!
Yes!
Love the stacked Jacks on the bar Jenna! Looks like you’re all set for the little goblins:@)
Thanks Lynn, I couldn’t resist those stacked Jacks when I saw them at HomeGoods recently 🎃
Love it all and what fun Jenna. My daughter Melissa bought a Skelton this year and she has had the most fun with him at her dentist office. We used him for our family party and old Jack was a hit. Happy week to you. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
I normally shy away from skeletons and creepy things, but I’ve had a lot of fun with my Skellie!
If I show up to trick or treat at your house, can I take home a “pretty-something” from your house?
Haha, actually yes you can, I need to do some serious purging!
I love all of your fun Halloween decorations. What a hoot with Skellie taking a soak in the tub! I am happy to see him again this year. It’s hard to choose a favorite but I’m really admiring how you spooked up the bar and the setting for ghosts on the coast. I know it will be a fun Halloween at your house Jenna……..
Thanks so much Emily, I decorate as much for myself as for the kids, I love Halloween!
Four star adorable. I’m wondering if I’ll even get up a fall mantel, much less anything Halloween. It looks great!
On another note, I’m so behind on comment replies and visiting so please know how much I value your visits and recent comments. I’ll be back on track soon!
Thank you Jeanie, and no problem! Life can get busy!
What a fun and inspiring post, Jenna!! I love it. The bathtub….LOVE that one! Skelly is a character. Thanks so much, xo Lidy
Ha ha, thanks Lidy, we have a lot of fun with Skellie!
So much fun and creativity. Halloween is a fun holiday. Skelly is adorable. The bathtub is hilarious. So many fun treats and yummy food. You a re a whiz in the kitchen.
We have had a lot of fun with Skellie, the kids get a big kick out of him!
