Halloween Mantle

  Hi Everyone! It's Nicole, Annette's Blog Manager and friend, and I am excited to be guest-posting today about my absolute favorite holiday, Halloween. My birthday is just a mere two days before Halloween, and as such, the holiday has always been one of my most beloved. Plus, what's not to love about a holiday in which strangers willingly dish you free candy? I definitely can't complain about that!Of course Annette knows how much I adore Halloween, so when she suggested I go take a look at the Halloween aisles at Michael's, I couldn't say no. I jumped in my car and headed up the road to my local craft store and was able to pull together almost everything seen here for an easy Halloween mantle. I wanted to stick with a darker color scheme while incorporating a few creams here and there. The result? A bewitching mantle. Can't you just picture this scene in a witch's creepy home? Between the crow and the potion bottles, I can only imagine what the witch in this home is up to. My favorite parts are the creepy fabric which was under $3 and the black faux flowers; they remind me of fingers which is perfectly witchy, indeed. I'd love to hear about some of your favorite ways to decorate for Halloween, and if you have a picture, link to it in the comments!xo, NicolePhotos courtesy of: Nicole Letts
