Halloween Mantel 2011

It has been a long, hot summer in Arizona and I am soooo ready for cooler weather.
We don't really have a fall in the desert...no changing of leaves (you can ride to northern AZ to see the leaves) and the day time temperatures are still around 95-100 degrees. So I have to rely on my inside decorations and porch decor to make it feel like fall around here.

I spent Saturday setting up fall and Halloween decor...
I LOVE ORANGE AND BLACK.


A pic of my 2010 Halloween Mantel
My mantel last year had a lot of mercury glass and carnival glass.



I began decorating my BOO mantel for 2011 around the old mirror in the center and I used bolder colors.  I picked up the mirror last year at GW and it has been hanging in my bedroom but with the Halloween colors it looks like it was from a haunted house.

I am in love with Candy Corns, especially the candy variety!



Another Candy Corn from wood this time.



I like the brown shredded paper and spiders along the mantel too.



I made the Halloween banner last year.


My favorite pic of the mantel...


Have you started decorating for Fall or Halloween too?

Very cute! I love you Halloween mantle with the candy corns and the cards. I have the same checked pumpkins and just did a mantle post recently too using them but a fall one. Aren't they just so wonderful? You did such a wonderful job with yours, I love everything about it. Thanks for sharing!

We are getting geared up to craft for Halloween. My four year old is a bit obsessed with the holiday. She is often asking to go to the "building store," because Lowes has all their inflatable Halloween decorations on display.

I have some similar candlesticks that may just end up topped with some giant candycorns! Those are adorable.

What a darling arrangement. It's just perfect. I like how you displayed your candy corn. I have some that I may give this a try with, although I'm not sure I'll be able to finesse them quite as well ;).
