I Am So Into Fall

I am so into fall I am also into Halloween already ya’ll. The dining room table at our yellow house has been evolving every weekend into a Halloween tablescape.

Joe keeps picking up the odd decoration at a garage sale or thrift store and it just grows.

I am just as bad of course.

We are sickos.

Every item on the table came from a garage sale or thrift store including the vintage table cloth. I used Marty’s method of cleaning this piece and it worked so wonderfully well! Thanks bunches Marty!

Is not my zombie a stinker? He is a Happy Meal toy. I adore him and have had him for years. Pull his left arm and his face changes.

Behold, now he is a Mummy! He might just make some more photos on the blog. I cannot help myself.

Zombie love.

I have a lot of close ups of the vintage table cloth that will be another post. Because it is a beauty.

I am linking to Marty’s link party at A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday.

Please visit the others for more loveliness and less zombies.

grace surrounds us

  6. How cute and you are crazy just in case you didn't already know that. If my husband went to a thrift store or flea market I would have to take him to a doctor and have him checked. He would no way do that. How nice to have one that does.
