Halloween is all around the house,
and this year I decided to create
a Haunted Village on the piano
in the front entry, like I do the
Christmas Village each year.
It all started because I made a new
Haunted House and didn't know
where to put another one!
I made and posted about this
Haunted House last year.
This is a house I had purchased from
JoAnn Fabrics a few years back and
I had dolled it up with a few pumpkins,
brooms, a banner and some pipe cleaners.
This was a house we with our
Craft Group a few years back.
The craft leader that night had purchased
houses from Hobby Lobby and then
glittered them up and we all
brought things to accessorize
our houses.
Let me go back and show you some
of the fun details to my new house.
To tell the truth, it was this four poster
witch's bed that captured my eye
first at Michael's. It has a fun purple
bedspread and a hat on the bed and it is
draped with black netting.
The fairy witch is the owner of this house.
Also notice the fun vanity mirror in the
back corner. These were all pieces from
Michaels.
The upstairs bath is a footed tub
and a fun pedestal sink from Michaels.
I cut some fur fabric for a bath rug
and added a little folded terry towel.
The silver mirror was purchased
from Amazon.
I keep wanting to say this or that is
my favorite thing, but this black
cake has to be one of the top ones.
it is atop a spider webbed table
with sparkling bats on the chairs.
But then again, this tufted sofa can't be
beat! No wonder I grabbed everything
I saw!
The outside porch is decorated with
two haunted trees, a cauldron,
some melting candles and
some white pumpkins. These are
all from Michael's too.
In order to have space for a porch, I
found a slatted sign that was a gray
wash and glued the house to it.
If you have lost your way, these little
spooks will help you!
The house itself was a kit Michael's
had for $24, that just glued together.
The bad part of all of this is that
everything was here and gone in
August. I went to a second store to
pick up another couch and everything
was gone the next day.
Here are details from the inside
of the house I made and posted
last year.
The furnishings came from Hobby Lobby,
Michael's and Etsy.
I made quite a few bottle brush trees
for Halloween a few years ago and
they are all over the village and even
inside the houses.
As you can see, Beaulah and I have been
having a lot of fun for Halloween,
flying here there and everywhere.
We are so glad we flew on over to
Michael's before all of these fun
things were gone.
