Halloween Chandelier

Fun find last thursday,  I found this Halloween chandelier at Ross Dress for Less of all places!  normally you won't find something like this there especially for a low price of $24.99!  This is a large chandlier, as you can see where the flameless candles are they are spiders!  and then those hanging beads.... love them!  I will offically put it up and decorate it in the next few weeks.  


We had a busy weekend going into Seattle to Magnolia where I grew up for an  annual  Parkinson's Auction  that my  family helps with every year.  My Hubs and I were a bit early so I decided to take him to see the West Point Lighthouse which is in Discovery Park where we needed to be for the auction.  It was the perfect lighting for pictures, just as the sun  was beginning to go down..  I love this beach and the lighthouse.

Halloween Wreath

Took a little visit to our local Molbak's gardening center.  Every year they decorate the store with the most  creative  Halloween decorations  Here are just a few snap shots of the store's displays.  Pretty awesome huh?




Here's what I decided to make after leaving Molbaks.  It was made with an old grapevine wreath I had hanging around, some Dollar Tree crows, some spider webbing and a few stamped Happy Halloween banners.
