Ravens have arrived to alight on windows,

covered with a creepy fabric. . .

And spiders are multiplying, conjured with

Martha Stewart Crafts Gothic Lace Window Clings.

Reusable glittery spider clings adhere to glass surfaces

and also transferware plates for a little spooky fun.

Halloween is the time of year when everyday items

can appear a little creepy and spooky . . .

And when a garden fork can appear as a sinister hand. . .

 If only fueled by your imagination and a spooky spider ring. <|:>)

    Playing in your potting shed is so much fun, Mary! I love seeing what you have conjured up with your crafty spells! Those clingy decals and creepy fabric add such character to change the look. Happy Halloween to you and thanks for all your creativity.

    Happy Halloween! Love your potting shed- such fun.

    Wonderfully spooky, but the thing that gave me the creeps the most was the bottle of embalmer’s fluid. Chilling. Glad to hear that you tried and enjoyed the Cider Brined Bourbon Pork Chops. :-)

    Yikes! Enter if you dare! This is totally creepy Mary, that garden fork hand with the ring would send me running out the door! Looking at all the spiders clinging everywhere literally made my skin crawl!! Super Spooky in black and white~ I sure am going to miss all the Halloween fun~ The ghosts and goblins won’t dare show up at your shed!

    You went all out this year, now that’s where the trick or treaters need to come knocking! Love the first shot with all your fun~

  14. October 30, 2014 at 9:51 am

    Mary, you have so much fun in your potting shed, don’t you? And luckily, we can join in! Those lace spider clings are beautiful in a creepy kind of way! And I love how you’ve put your vintage flower frogs to work! You are one amazingly talented lady!

  15. October 30, 2014 at 10:01 am

    My kind of fun! Love the details. The Martha Stewart clingy pieces are really neat!

    Your posts are always so lovely and inspiring; if only I had your resources! I really love the garden fork as a hand with the spider ring! I am not really decorating for Halloween this year, but I do have a wreath on the door, which I’ve used for the past couple of years. I really like it, and although I don’t have a picture, I wanted to share it with you. It is a straw wreath with a “silk” spider plant (see what I did there?) wired on to it. I sprayed painted it with black spray – very splotchy paint application – and hot glued an assortment of rubber spiders all over it. I also really like the MS window clings and that you put them on the dinnerware. Happy Spookings.

    I am always delighted and inspired when I see your posts…what an artistic imagination. For example: using the faux barbed wire just makes the piece “pop”. I look forward to all your posts. Happy Halloween!

  20. October 30, 2014 at 8:18 pm

    It’s not only your imagination and creativity, all of your wonderful ideas and props (clever using rusty barb wire around the glass cloche) and stunning photography, but your clever captions ‘capture’ the perfect mood!

    OMGoodness!! so much here to drool over! I think my two favorites are the spider ring on the hand and the barbed wire on the cloche!! So now you have me wanting to drop everything I should get done today to set a Halloween table!! Love it!

  26. October 15, 2015 at 11:31 am

    Your potting shed is decked out for Halloween! The ravens, spiders and bugs are so creepy in a good way. The antique plates with the spider clings are so clever.
