Seasons Change, & so do my decorations!

... hello October...

Halloween is not my thing.

It is just a bunch of hocus pocus... (plus, I hate being scared!)

However, it is an opportunity for me to decorate, so I'm all in on that aspect of the holiday!

... my kind of Halloween... 

I like to mix patterns & styles when dressing my dining room table.  

This particular time I went with the fall/Halloween look.  Advice? Think outside of the box! I found these adorable black & white stripe cloth napkins at Tuesday Morning and threw them down with my Pier 1 polka dot dinner plate. There was hesitation, but I loved the outcome of the place setting!   

After a failed attempt to find orange candles at the Dollar Tree, I  did not leave empty handed.  I happen to come across plastic black wine glasses... and the best part was they were only $1!  So for eight bucks, eight wine glasses made their way to my table (both inside & on the porch!)

A fun way to get a different dynamic is to incorporate different size objects.  For instance: pumpkins.  Where to find?  Trader Joe's & Dollar Tree.   You will see more of this trick in upcoming post this week.

... my definition of October... 

Bottom line: tradition be damned. Decorate for the season in a way that evokes feeling within you.  After all, it's your home.
