I did the lampshade thing last Halloween too, but I just had regular Halloween sympbols. I love these mice. I love the little trick-or-treat sillouette too. Everything looks really good. - Gail

Frou, that is delightful. The little ghost wearing a sweater is a hoot. LOL. Love your totem with the black cat inside, great idea. Along with the lamp mice! Now that is really cool. I've saved the pix for our Halloween Inspiration album.

hugs, Karen

What a great, festive display. I love the Mice sillouettes too. I'm going to 'steal' that idea!! :) That gourd ghost is adorable and I also love the vintage picture, and just about everything else. I'm sure your kids must get a real kick out of it too.
I really enjoyed this...Thanks.

OK, first of all I want your buffet! I love antique oak pieces, and that is a beauty! I try to decorate my antique kitchen cabinet for each season, too. I really like the way you used the material as a backdrop. Cute idea! All of the Halloween things make me smile!

Very cute! ;o) I think my favorite is the vintage print/poem and the gourd ghost--love his little sweater. I like the mice inside the lampshade too--clever way to use them. The fall arrangement really makes the deer head blend right in to the decor. TFS. Luvs

What a cute display and I agree your buffet is wonderful. Looks like you put alot into decorating and do a great job at it. You have some really unique things. Punk

Oh, I love your decs . . . especially the mouse cutouts! What a cute idea! I take it the "Ideals magazine pic & poem" that you're talking about is the silhouette pic? It's wonderful! Did you find it online?

Thanks guys, ya'll are so sweet. Slinkey, our son is grown and gone, but loved the holiday decorating when he was young, Cindylouhoo, I've had the buffet about 20 years, it was black and had newspapers glued to the top before DH refinished it. Lynn, I've collected the "Ideals" for years, from estate sales and such. They span from the 30's to the 70's and cover every holiday and have the most beautiful pics. Take a look at ebay they show a lot of pics.

Syble, your decorations are really cute, and I'm not much of a Hallowe'en person...
I love the mice, bet I could drive Princess Posie crazy with those :^)

forgot to say, I collect the Ideals mags too...as I find them in garage/estate sales. They are so beautiful!

Love the mouse decals on your lampshades. Very cute. And the glass totem is fabulous with the cat inside. Its so great that you have a story for all your pieces!!

Syble, thanks for sharing your decoration pics! What a nice display you have created on your buffet table. I really like the lamps with the mice, great touch! The bit of burlap and the checkered scarf make a terrific background to everything. I think the brown colours in your arrangement under the deer really tie everything together.

That ghost wearing a sweater is sooooooooooooooooo cute! And I love your lamps!
