I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Halloween House Tour in 3 Different Views

Halloween is almost upon us and apparently so is Hurricane Sandy, at least for the eastern Sea board.

If computer models are right, Northeastern Pa. is in Sandy's direct line when it turns in westward  from the coast.
They are predicting wind and 4 - 10 inches of rain and hopefully, temps. will not be cold enough for snow BUT we did have the Halloween snow storm last year where my area got 9 inches of snow and the Pocono Mountains of Pa. got close to a foot of snow... Maybe snow would be better though.
Severe flooding and power outages will be the case if what they are predicting for my area holds true.... It was only a year ago in Sept. that the Susquehanna River overflowed it's banks and caused horrific flooding in this area.
So we shall see what Mother Nature has in store for us....

Since I posted my Halloween decorations a few weeks ago, I thought that since Halloween will soon be here ,I would do a little Halloween House Tour , showing you my decorations in 3 Views.

What am I talking about???

In  Sepia tone, Day Light and in Candle light !!

I must admit that the pictures taken in Sepia tone do have an eerie look!

So Let's start the Halloween House Tour.....

This is Minerva , the Skeleton Lady who lives in my Living Room and is ready to go to a Halloween Party!!....



And now we enter the Dining Room ....

My Witches Tea Table.....










And the Witch , herself.....

Her Cauldron.....


A Haunted House....



More Halloween decorations in the Dining Room.....



My Tea and Coffee Set.....









Rest in Piece.....








Halloween Tree and Village.....

Another Haunted House.....






I forgot to take a picture of my Funeral Basket in Sepia tone.....




And Jack o' Lantern.....



And I want to close this year's chapter on Halloween with sharing a few new goodies...

I made some potion bottles with labels I printed out from a blog whose name now escapes. If anyone knows whose blog, please let me know so I can give them the credit they deserve...

See the Jekyll Brothers label that I Modge Podged to an old Bath Salts bottle....

I found this cute little guy at JoAnn's Fabric for 60 % off......
And I made this potion bottle using a gravy jar!!
I bought 2 pumpkins at the Dollar Tree and decided to spray paint them black and after a few light coats, I sprinkled glitter on the tops and it dried in place when the paint dried.

I added some lace, silver ribbon, beads and a ribbon flower to each.




I think I will stock up on these pumpkins .

I wonder if they will mark them 50 % off after Halloween???

      I now have my Welcome Candles in my windows.....        
The orange bulbs in my front porch light and lantern in the yard are CFL bulbs that now come in colors and I bought them at Lowe's.
We will be awaiting Trick or Treaters but we usually hardly get any and with the rain from  Hurricane Sandy that is predicted, I am thinking that there may not be a lot of kids out on Old Hallow's Eve in the North East.
But if they do venture out, my front porch will Welcome them......


So I do hope all of you have a spookilicious Halloween!!
