Mary And I Love To Decorate And Get In The Spirit Of The Holiday!
We start outside with bunting and witches hats. Of curse, we have the aways available Govee outdoor lighting.
Mary trims the plants so as NOT to hide the decorations!
Ready to go!
The hats are up!
We calls her "Splatty"
Guess who is who!!
Mary's bell is ready to go!
The inflatables go up in another week or so!
We have been collecting Halloween decoration for thirty years and when we got together four years back, we were surprised how many things we had in common. Lillian Vernon was our collective favorite!
