Witches invited...

..to park their brooms!   LOL!  Sometimes I have way too much fun doing pointless things.

We live out in the country.  Wind and rain will probably do a number on this display, so it may not last long.  But it was 70 degrees today and likely to be the last day that warm until next April.  I had to find something to do outside after work, so I decided to play.

A recent snow fall broke a lot of branches off our trees so I had a lot of choices for broomsticks.  This bright green broom is made with day lily leaves.  

This broom is made with peonies that had been trimmed back for the winter.

And this broom is made is made from dead evergreen branches.

All witches are invited to park their brooms at my house....  who knows, I may even have a roaring bonfire to sit around while enjoying the cool fall evenings before snow starts falling.

Drinks anyone?

Halloween is one of those occasions that lends itself to having fun.  A little imagination can go a long way with simple additions to vignettes.  A few leftovers, items from the dollar store, and a few moments of craftiness add a touch of the macabre.

Gotta love the dollar store!  Skeleton parts, skull, and two glass candlesticks and a candle holder for a total of $5.00 add a little Halloween fun.

I glued together two glass candlesticks and spray painted them black and then glued a candle holder on top to hold the small skeleton parts which came from a garland.

The bottle of arsenic is a label found online printed out and glued to a salsa jar painted black.

 Appetizers anyone?  I am sure they are tasty......

And you can wash them down with a nice glass of Graveyard Spirits or Embalming juice....  mwahahaha....
(Beacon 527 glue is great for gluing labels to bottles.)

Arsnic and lace perhaps?   Your welcome to come visit, if you dare.

Here the labels I found when looking for free clip art in case you would like to use them also:
