My Halloween dollhouse has a few new ghosts that have taken up residence.
I found these in the scrapbooking section of Michaels.
For my estate sale enthusiasts and collectors of vintage Christmas, you might want to recycle a few of your Christmas electric candles for Halloween.
Mine were inspired by Laurie (Magpie Ethel) who is the queen of embellishing electric Christmas candles. I made these candles last year and had so much fun adding glue, glitter, stickers and chenille stemmed flowers, that I thought I should feature them again. The decorating ideas are endless.
Our sunroom mantle has an owl-theme this year.
It's one of three mantles that I've decorated this year.
A few of my diecuts are also featured in this area.
I wasn't kidding when I said every flat surface of our house is covered with Halloween this time of year. Halloween hugs from my house to yours!

Halloween Hugs! The new ghosts look rather happy in their new home! :) Love your owl mantel, they're all so cute and those large pumpkins on the wall are so fun!! Have a great fallish day! xo Holly
I so believe that every surface has been covered with spooky stuff!!! Glad I could provide some inspiration...
I love those owls! You are doing a great job with all the spooks! xo Nellie
I remember those candles you made last year-fun! The owls are great, love the nutcracker one:@)
I also remember those candles! I remember thinking that would have been a great idea if I hadn't sent mine off to the thrift store. It goes to show that I should just keep my hoard intact...lol!
That nutcracker owl is wonderful!! May I ask where you found it? Each year you come up with such fun decor ideas for your home and the miniature ones. I am going to explore the candle ideas further on Laurie's sight. PS I hope to get to the Toronto miniatures show this weekend.
I have those candles on my to-do list! I may just paint them orange and sprinkle some glitter (if I can manage to keep the glitter out of my eyes).
Hi Kim,
Do I recognize the ghosts from Jolene brand scrapbook embellishments? I have that very same little owl that you have in that picture! Mine is on a shelf inside my dollhouse.
I so enjoy looking at all your Halloween and dollhouse decorations.

Love, love, love the ghosts! Halloween hugs to you too!
What a fun way to use those Christmas candles. I have some that I should dig out of the storage boxes downstairs in time for trick or treating.
What a wonderful collection of owls! And the ghosts are perfect in your Halloween house :)
Your house at Halloween is like my house at Christmas; no corner is without a Dept 56 village, no flat surface without a vignette of cuteness! Love it!
Just to festive!!! To Cute!!! I love it all! You are just making me want to creative more Halloween things!! I still have my house shaped curio wall shelf I need to do for my grands...
I love all your special touches! So festive! Really wish I could be there to celebrate such a fun holiday with you all! :)
What a great idea to embellish the Christmas candles for Halloween!! Love your haunted house, it just gets better and better!!
Hi Kimmy!
Missing everyone in Blog Land and trying to take some time before the school bus to catch up a bit.
Loving your haunted house, the owls, and most of all - those blow mold pumpkins!
Super decorating and inspirational posts!

I bet even the non flat surfaces are covered, too, Kim:)! Love your embellished candles, what a great idea! And your haunted house is just spooktacular! I can tell you are having fun!!
Wow, love what you did with the candle lights!! So creative you are! Everything is truly amazing!! xo Heather
I must say, that's a really clever way of playing with your sunroom. It's cool you put up an owl there. Owls are mostly associated with the dark, and to put them at a place that greets sunlight is just wicked. Day turns to night indeed, heheh. An awesome Halloween to you all!
