I hope you ladies are enjoying your weekend so far! Halloween is by far my FAVORITE holiday! Sadly the hubs doesn’t really share the same love for it as he reminds me every year that is not technically a holiday. When I correct him he replies “are banks closed?” Talk about Bahhh humbug! But now that Ava is getting older theres no stopping us! I have to make it special for her right ?! 😉
I finally finished my Halloween mantel after waiting for my black candlesticks to come in so here’s a peek at our Halloween mantel this year….
Banner and crows from Pottery Barn
Spider and webs from Target
black candle sticks from West Elm
The hubby was not a fan of the crows but Ava loves them! For the first week she insisted on petting the “tweet tweets” every morning!
At night I add some candles and turn on our faux candles on the ends.
I have some other Halloween decor up around the house that i’ll share with you ladies next week! Do you girls decorate for Halloween?!
This looks so great!!! Halloween is my favorite holiday as well, it has taken me the last 7 years to get my husband so see things my way! haha.
i like your attitude! 😉 Im still trying to crack mine! lol
Love the mantel! My hubby and I both LOVE halloween so we bring out the decorations for the little one and she loves them:)
awww you're so lucky your hubs is on board with the Halloween Spirit!
what is it with guys & not being festive?! Mine is the exact same way lol!! your mantle looks great & even though we don't have one, it's inspiring me to buy a larger shelf for our living room that I can decorate seasonally!! 🙂
awww thank you Jen! I know whats with these men ?! My husband says i always pic the WORST costumes for him every year lol
really scary 😀 I do not decorate for Halloween because we do not celebrate it here, but I have fall decorations in my house 🙂
Yes I do!! So excited to really start going all out now that we have our sweet Ellie!! Hoping to get them up this weekend! Love that banner
I always loved decorating for the holidays but now its next level for our little ones 😉
I absolutely love this mantel – I will have to keep it in mind for the new house! We decorate but mainly on our front porch.
I want to step up my outdoor halloween game 😉
Hi Andee your Halloween mantel came out perfect! What pumpkin patch do you plan on taking Miss Ava too? My girlfriend Carolyn owns Zoomars in SJC she does it up adorable this time of year, photo opps galore. Tell her Tammy sent you. xoxo
hi hun i haven't been down to SJC in awhile but ill def put it on the list to check out! My girlfriend lives in DP so maybe ill talk her into going with me 😉 We went to Tanka Farms this weekend and had a blast!
This is one of the cutest Halloween themed mantels that I've ever seen! You did such a fantastic job.
The Grass Skirt
yeah! 😉 Thanks love!
So cute! Halloween is my 20th birthday this year! Super excited. Are you dressing up?! and I can't wait to see what you dress Ava in! xoxo
Ugh I'm looking for an excuse to dress up! Really hoping something comes up so we can dress up!
This is so adorable! I've never decorated for Halloween but I'm getting into it this year, and it'll be easier year after year as I gain more stuff for it I'm sure. I love the reference of crows being "tweet tweets", also. Too darn cute!
;))) yes ava calls all the birds tweet tweets and horses are "nee nee's"
My hubby hates Halloween too but only because he was one of those kids with ultra-religious parents that didn't allow him to trick-or-treat. I love your mantel, great job! http://www.styleoyster.blogspot.com
thanks love!
So cute!! Love the banner! And I love your new layout on your blog…so clean and chic!
thanks Natasha! Its been needing some tweaking for awhile now so thank you xoox
Looks awesome! Wish I had a mantle over in Finland, all I got to work with is a TV stand. Wait do they even celebrate in Finland? Oh well we will be the only crazies on the block 🙂
I LOVE that banner. Such a cute display!
thanks hun!
I remember a few years ago – before Ava was even born – you had dressed up as Jasmine for an event. I was trying to locate that post to get a Jasmine costume idea, but couldn't find it, do you mind sharing that ?
awww yes that was a few years back 😉 Thank you for following for that long! xo That costume was actually custom made but ill try to dig up the pic!
I love Halloween also! I got all my stuff out back in mid September, I couldn't help myself. I love everything about fall…Halloween, the colors, the smells (I'm a sucker for candles) ….I think those crows are fabulous and just the right amount of spooky. It looks great 🙂
thank you Jillian!
love your decor! I decorated this year for Harper 🙂
Lol we have to decorate for our babies right?!
I wish I decorated for Halloween like this!!! I love the birds! It looks so good!!!

thanks so much hun ;))
I love it! it has so much personality! the Crows are amazing looking!
Thanks Anna! I'm loving the crows as well!
Are you going to update shop honeybee? 🙂 also is it just me or are your top tabs gone again??
yes! thank you for being patient with me I have been so busy lately but have a serious closet clean out to do! Also just checked the tabs and they all seem to be working fine?
Looks amazing!! I love the black candlesticks, they are so chic!
this was the first year i did the black candles and love them! 😉
Haha..that is too funny. My hubby & I were having that exact same 'deep' conversation in the car the other day. His response to me calling Halloween a holiday was the same.."Are the banks closed..do I get off of work?"..lol!! But, I have a 4 yr, 2 yr, & 2 week old & I go all out…mainly in our kitchen – but we have creepy curtains, pumpkins, candles, poison stickers on our bottles..etc. I love how excited they get!!! Plus…I confess..I love it too 🙂 Beautiful décor!
that makes me feel so much better that my hubby isn't the only one anti halloween 😉
So cute! I have a wood burning stove (which I love) but I can't wait until I have a mantel to decorate so cute!
