Halloween Scenes - Five Spooky Ideas

With Halloween just around the corner, 

I'd like to invite you over, Dear Friends, 

for some spooky treats and 

 some fun ideas to decorate for the holiday.  

The first idea was found in a flyer

sent to me by my local market.....

'Boo-Nana Bites'

and 

'Vampire Teeth'

These are a healthier alternative to 

sweet treats and would be perfect for 

a children's party. 

To make the BooNana Bites

you will need....

Bananas

Vanilla Yogurt

Chocolate Chips 

(both mini and regular sizes)

Waxed or parchment paper

Straws or popsicle sticks

Peel each banana and slice in half. 

Push a popsicle stick or straw

  into the cut end, 

and coat the banana in vanilla yogurt. 

Press two mini-chips into the narrow 

end for eyes, and one regular sized chip

for a mouth. 

Freeze on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet. 

To make the Vampire Teeth

you will need......

Apples

Creamy peanut butter

(or nut butter of choice)

Mini marshmallows

Slivered almonds

Slice apples into wedges. 

Working in pairs, spread peanut butter

on one side of each wedge. 

Arrange a row of marshmallows

along bottom wedge like teeth. 

Add two almond sliver 'fangs'. 

Top with the other apple wedge, 

peanut butter side down. 

For an extra spooky touch, 

coat the tip of the 'fangs' with 

red jelly :)

Aren't they fun? 

Delicious, too! 

My spooky tree with hanging bats. 

I've had this since my children were young. 

The gourds are actually candles. 

My second spooky idea is simple! 

A Vintage 'painting' of an autumn scene

decorated with 3-D stickers! 

I found these at my local craft store. 

The 'painting' was a thrift store find. 

My stuffed and painted canvas crow

perches on top. 

I found this handsome fellow last year at 

an after-holiday sale. 

I've had the black-cat wind-chime 

for years. She is made of stained glass

with mirrored facets and a glass fish weight

on the end. 

She even wears a bell on her collar :)

My vintage step-ladder serves 

as easel. 

This 'prim' scarecrow was a recent gift 

from my sweet sis-in-law <3 

The third idea for Halloween decorating 

is to frame vintage postcards. 

I am always on the lookout for these

as they make the most charming displays.

Something to make me smile 

when I walk through the door. 

My vintage seed sack pillow :)

It's so soft.....

The fourth spooky idea is a 'Boo Box'. 

I simply painted a small wooden tray

black with white letters. 

A craft-fair cat. 

A cute shelf-sitter. 

A captured pumpkin. 

My Mom's owl from the 60's :)

The fifth and last spooky idea I have for you 

is hand-stitchery. 

How cute is this? 

I found this years ago in a favorite shop. 

It would be a cute idea for a chalk-board, too! 

I hope you enjoyed my spooky ideas 

for Halloween, my friends!

Just remember.....

Be wary......

It's scary, 

In the dark!

I want to thank you, my friends, for your warm 

and wonderful visits.
