The big night is creeping up on us, and with all the goodies we've made, it was time to make some adjustments to our main treat dispensing area.
Let's do a little tweaking, shall we? Blank slate time.
There was a quick trip to Walmart for 5 yards of black tulle. This was a replacement item. The original yardage purchased ended up becoming an emergency Pikachu tutu.
But we all know how things like that happen, right?
I first added a little height with an overturned wine crate which I slipped under the netting.
The tulle was then gathered like so much evil bridal veil and draped at either end of my massive dresser.
We added big bows that tied the display to our wreaths by using the same wire edged ribbon.
The beaded skull charger came back into play.
My mother has had this 150 year old hour glass since I was a child, and eerily enough, the sand is no longer flowing.
Nothing like a creepy title or two from Bram Stoker to Stephen King, all stacked on my copy of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare. Now that guy knew horror!
We'll bring back the glittery elements.
And of course, the fun homemade projects...
Did I mention we dress as Scottish ghosts to dole out goodies?
That fabulous castle is actually an incense burner, so smoke will be curling from it in the dark.
We'll have plenty of flickering candles to draw attention to the scene.
I couldn't resist a little dash of frog.
I think we're ready.
Go ahead....knock.

"When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain?" "Err... I could do next tuesday!" LOL
I wanna come trick-or-treating at your house! Do you hand out wine? LOL
Oh my word, this is so cute. Love it all. You have such a creative mind. I love the way you have elevated certain items too. Great job. What a fun vignette. Thanks for linking to TTT Hugs, Marty
Looks great! So much fun to decorate for Halloween. Soon it'll be time to decorate the husband (he goes all out) and I may have to post some pics of his costume!!
I'll be there! And I'm with Dharma. :-)
Wine is an integral component. Chardonnay or Sangria? And I'll hold the cheesy wiener roll ups until you get here.
Oh, good idea on the Stephen King books - time to raid my bookshelf for some last-minute props!

Love the dash of frog! It is a very spooky display!
Ooo, how scary! i love it! Now come to my house and decorate, hehe!
Super fabulous! Lovin' the pop of turquoise!
Looks Fab!!
I love the wee bit of frog!! Thank you for your kind comments over at my newborn blog. I will definately stop by Friday and thank you so much!
PS I'm so impressed... not many people have the makings of a Pikachu tutu on hand!!
Love the use of the black tulle. It's understated and definitely spooky!!
I wish! We don't get a single trick or treater up here - so disappointing!
A scottish ghost? I'm not sure what that is but I will have to check into it!
How cute! We don't get trick or treaters out here in the wilderness, so I don't even decorate. I'll bet your house is the most popular one on the block!
This looks really spooky and fun.
This is beyond cool! Way beyond!!
=D
Knock? Where do you live? I'll be there in a minute!!
Trick or Treat? I love it! Everything looks great and you have lots of glitter, which I adore. Thanks for linking up to Theme Party Thursday again. Happy Halloween!'-Jami
I believe I spy some spooky eyeballs! The castle is very cool! I would love to see those Scottish ghost costumes!
Wow! What a scary display for what must have been a wonderful Halloween at your house!
