One mantle down. Two more to go.
Have a fabulous weekend!
October 3, 2014
Part 1 of my Halloween fireplace mantles...
I have three mantles that I decorate each Halloween and I spent this past Sunday decorating the living room mantle.
This mantle is where all the fragile objects are displayed each year.
The really expensive ornaments that were given to me as gifts and need to be far away from little fingers and cat paws can be found on this mantle.
If you are a follower, you'll notice that my collection of Halloween-themed nutcrackers has grown again. I'm guilty of scouring Target the day after Halloween for clearance items.
A few years ago, my husband hung these windows above the mantle and I've been decorating them with vintage black and white Halloween photos.
Have a fabulous weekend!

About Me
- Musings from Kim K.
- In 2008, we went to the Jiangxi Province to adopt a little girl who needed open-heart surgery for Tetralogy of Fallot and hand surgery to remove an extra thumb. I'm always happy to share our experience with a SN adoption with others. When I'm home from work, I love to sneak in a weekly craft project or a trip to my favorite antique/thrift stores. Come play with me!

They look terrific! So artsy! That's a wonderful collection and you are smart to keep it away from the cat paws--I have the same situation here! Have fun decorating the other two mantles. Can't wait to see them. Have a great weekend!
I think the best part is thinking about you putting the mantle together. Creating is the very best isn't it!
Cool Fun Spooky!
Love that mantle! Wow -- 3 mantles to decorate! I can't even get one decorated -- yes, I am so lame! Hope you have a fun weekend!
Oh- Another Magical Mantle...all set for Halloween. I love how much fun you have decorating for the Holidays, Kim. xo Diana
What a wonderful mantle, I didn't even know they made Halloween nutcrackers. It is going to be fun to see what you do with the other two mantles.
It is really looking like the season at your place, Kim! xo Nellie
BOO-tiful mantle with all your special treasures on it. WOW, 3 mantles to decorate! Nice.

The window and banner make the perfect backdrop. Love all of the spooky and scary things! Have fun! Happy weekend. Hugs, Diane

Mantle #1 looks fabulous. Love the Halloween nutcrackers. Been away on vaca and just catching up. Saw a couple doll houses for sale while antiquing in the sweet town we were visiting, thought of you. Held myself back because I could so see getting hooked!
Kim, Everything is looking so great! My kids would just love your house at Halloween!
My nephew's bday was last week, and my sister told me he wanted to decorate his bedroom for Halloween. So the kids and I bought some decorations for him (gross stuff like bloody handprints- perfect for a 9 year old boy!).
While we were looking at decorations, I actually got in the mood and bought a couple small things to decorate with myself! The kids love it, but I don't think I'll ever get up to your level of fabulousness!!
Kim,
LOVE the mantle!! Amazing!!
Okay, I do not have Halloween Nutcrackers...... I thought I was done buying for Halloween as I said in my last post but I guess not!! LOL!!
Hugs,
Debbie
We are getting close to your favorite time of year! Everything is looking very spooky at your house.
