Halloween delight!

This time of year is special to me as it brings my sister to my mind and heart. Halloween was her favorite holiday. She loved to go all out to decorate and pull pranks on Halloween. Each year, as this time approaches, I decorate a little for Halloween in rememberance of her. I think she must have been smiling when I came up with the idea to run out and buy these lit branches to use this year for my tree. Normally, I take my autumn tree apart and use it for my Halloween tree. This year I decided not to as I love seeing the autumn tree through Thanksgiving. Don't forget you can click on all the photos to enlarge them. My Halloween tree is in my laundry room which is also where my coat rack is so the first place that guest go into in my home.

Most of the ornaments in my tree were made by my mother. This cute little scarecrow was also a gift from her. The witch tree top is something she bought me when she visited Salem, MA.

The 'trick or treat' magnet was a gift from my sister and I have an old Halloween card and a stuffed black cat wearing a Jack 'O Lantern sweater she sent me years ago also sitting by the tree.

Here is the pretty effect of the lighted branches! I put two of my three Halloween quilts out in this room too. There is a basket hanging beside the coat rack and I simply filled it with some orange maple leaves.

You wouldn't believe

On All Hallow Eve

What lots of fun we can make,

With apples to bob,

And nuts on the hob,

And a ring-and-thimble cake.
