| Stage a spooky chic witch
vignette - Here we've placed a wonderful ornate
witch hat over a tall lampshade base (Caution - DO NOT turn the light on
with the hat over it!), framed favorite witchy greeting cards and photos
and last - set the lovely and lethal "Baba Yaga" doll to grace the
setting.
Set a spooky chic table -
Use things you already have in a new way... we set
purple tapers into glass candelabras adorned with fuzzy cloth bats and a
little ghoul. In the foreground we casually set a pair of witch gloves
and Ms. "Marietta Spider" by Katherine's Collection. Amethyst wine
glasses are also used every Spring to celebrate the lilac harvest!
Doll up a spooky chic chandelier -
Whether you have an old crystal and brass chandelier like
this one or something much simpler- dress it up! We placed elegant
spiders with old widow faces throughout, added some orange plastic beads
(they look like crystal!) and draped the whole thing with a lush black
boa! (Last year the theme was bats and we did a very similar look - only
with sparkled bats.)
Craft a spooky chic entrance -
"Endora Witch" by by Department 56 graces the October
entrance at MoonStruck Manor. Her entorage includes the merry
witches sliding down the banister and one adorable vulture perched atop
the lamp on the desk.
Hang a spooky chic bat -
Do you love her?
Do up your mantle with Spooky Chic
Glamour - Gather your spooky chic
collection of chachkies (but first throw out anything that's
remotely county cute) and your favorite Halloween greeting cards
(I've save all the cards my sister has sent me for the pat 20
years.) and decorate a mantle. We even added purple and
orange twinkle lights behind the fire grate to create an erie
glow when the lights are turned down.
Throw a spooky chic party -
Costumes absolutely required - with a spooky chic
theme, of course. Which for me and my girlfriends mean witch
hats! The more ornate - the better!
