I live in the sticks where company is few and far between.
That doesn’t stop me from adding festive touches around the yard. Distant
neighbors who live across the canal up on the hill can easily see the latest
decorations around the property.
Decorations from each season are kept in sealed plastic
tubs. It makes it so easy to keep my favorite items ready to use when the
holiday rolls around again. Solar pumpkin lights are a delight to place out
along the driveway and around the mailbox.
This year I’m considering making October bouquets with
streamers to hang along the fence. This
is a fun decoration for the kids to make, as well. Use some of the autumn
artificial flowers you’re about ready to replace, or get some from your local
economy or thrift shop.
Make several bouquets to hang from branches, fences, and
gates. Tape the stems tightly together near the base of the flowers. Tie
ribbons or strips of material around the tape and make a fancy or distressed
bow. Add old pieces of jewelry or glow-in-the-dark stickers that glimmer with
an air of mystery after the sun goes down.
What are some of the ways you add cheer to the fall
holidays?
I decorate more for Halloween than I do for Christmas. Halloween is so much fun and I totally get into it!
ReplyDeleteI would love to decorate, but I never do. I think your bouquets sound fantastic. I might even be able to pull them off myself.
ReplyDeleteI love the solar pumpkin lights. How cute are they? We don't do too much decorating other than a pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteWe will be decorating this weekend. We go all out. Even put out lots of lights like some would do for Christmas lol.
ReplyDeleteI love decorating for Halloween! It's a lot of fun and you can get so creative!
ReplyDeleteHalloween is one of my very favorite holidays to decorate for. I go all out! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to really get into decorating for Halloween. This year I am not planning on doing much of anything.
ReplyDeleteWe plan to pull out the Halloween and fall decor this weekend. The witch smashed on your door is too funny!
ReplyDeleteThat witch is so funny! I don't do a lot of Halloween decorating.
ReplyDeleteThey are really fun! People in my neighborhood go all out with decorating their yards. Always fun to see
ReplyDeleteWitch crash is classic! I love decorating for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of hanging things from the fences. We used to do that too when we lived in a place that had a fenced backyard. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Witch Crash! Decorating for Halloween is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI don't usually decorate much for Halloween - but just for fall in general. Now though, that the kiddo is getting bigger, I know he'd love the fun Halloween stuff. Guess momma is gonna have to get busy! The witch decorations are just too cute.
ReplyDeleteI live in the country too. Only, my house faces the tiny town highway that connects us all. It's pretty busy but for some reason not even that gets me in the decorative spirit. I have a few Halloween and fall decorations. Sometimes I think time and money get to me more than they should.
ReplyDeleteHalloween is my favorite holiday to decorate for. You can get REALLY creative.
ReplyDeleteI need to get my box down! We have lots of cute Halloween decor items, thanks for the reminder
ReplyDeleteWe don't celebrate Halloween, but I LOVE fun fall decor. Any fun decor is...well...fun! Lol.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori,
ReplyDeleteLast fall I made tons of decorations using yard waste laying around my yard. I made wreaths and witch's brooms, indoor and outdoor decorations. I loved making them and you can't beat free craft supplies!
Happy crafting this weekend,
Victoria

I like that you decorate for yourself and not caring much if others will see it. I love Halloween and decorate like crazy.
ReplyDeleteI like making wreaths. In fact, I bought all of the items I needs to make a fall deco wreath yesterday and plan to make one later today!
ReplyDeleteI love Halloween decor in black and white. I'm going to try to make a black and white pumpkin for our doorstep this year.
ReplyDeleteWe always go all out for Halloween. The whole neighborhood does. It's so much fun for the kids and adults!
ReplyDeleteHalloween can be a fun year for decor. I saw on another blog a very chic black and white themed Halloween decor and that was amazing! I love being festive!
