*A Rustic Halloween*

♥

Today I'm decorating the house for Halloween.
I would have liked to have done it days ago but I've been so busy that I just didn't have time unfortunately, so I'm spending today doing it!

I tend to put the same decorations up each year & haven't anything new this year.

The wreath above is a simple willow wreath which I added my lovely Autumn leaves too.

I bought them in Germany a few years ago, they are fabric & so are perfect to bring out year after year!

♥

As you can see I've popped a few on the dining room table too!

The bowl is full of dried mini pumpkins, which again I've had for a few years. Lovely to bring out year after year as they are dried.

These are my 'Witches Jars' which I made a few years ago.

Plain old jars filled with bits & bobs.

Inside I have herbs, bay leaves, conkers, tea stained bits of rags, burnt down candles & wooden pegs.

I just added a bit of tea stained calico on the larger one & wrapped with lots of raffia & on the smaller one I wrapped the top in hessian & tied with calico. They both have tea stained hang tags & the smaller one has a little 'Witches' label which I simply designed on the computer & printed onto tea stained paper. It's tag says for 'Spells, Potions & Brews'.

These are a couple of 'Rustic Witches Signs' I made a few years ago that come out each year too.
I prop the 'Witches Rest Stop' sign in the hallway & the other one on my dresser in the dining room.

'Witches Brew' bottles made in the same way as the jars above just using clean wine & beer bottles.

♥

♥

This larger bottle just has torn brown wrapping paper & is wrapped in jute twine with a tea stained label attached, how easy is that!

There are a lot more bottles done in the same way around the house.

Have you been decorating for Halloween?

I have a few more bits & pieces too but I will leave those for another post ...
