There's a reason I decorate with words

I don't usually decorate for Halloween, but I really wanted to get into the spirit this year.

I got my inspiration from a candelabra I bought at a Civil War re-enactment. It's wooden and wrought iron (I think), and it looks pretty cool with white candles. I usually keep it on the top of my microwave, because I don't really know where else to put it. Sometimes I'll use it as a table centerpiece. I thought, it looks spooky enough.

I put a fall-themed tablecloth over a stack of round totes and put the candelabra in the center. Then I commandeered "Joey," the skeleton from my son's anatomy project, and a couple of cheap plastic jack o'lanerns.

So here's how it turned out.




Looks awful homespun, don't it. It looked so much better in my head. :(

Ah well.

I'll redeem myself at Christmas! :)
