Nothing like a little Tom Petty to kick off the
fall season! I held off an entire week to put out my Halloween decor, but with only four days left in the current month I could not hold off any longer. I was barraged with 100 days of holidays emails (
BHG), constant images from new fall magazines, and the pumpkins for sale....so naturally, I pulled out the orange and black and I must confess that the little
twinkling lights are making me want December to hurry up and get here, but without further
adieu here's the spread.
The balcony draped with tulle (tool-
ay!--joking)
and orange lights and my iron jack-o-lantern filled with lights.
Tiny Jack bags above my drapes. Thanks for finding these Debbie.
My glittered pumpkin--I copied Martha.
Some fall leaves crept in, black roses, and my silvered Jack.
Much to my Mom's unmentioned
chagrin this is my favorite. Very apothecary-like and very Martha. Antlers, science flask, and skulls in a cloche.
Lights with tulle above the cabinets and my Halloween luminary.
Candle holders double as pumpkin holders.
...and drum roll please, the mantle! A
hodge podge of black candles, lights, tulle, pumpkins and more.
I made the banner a few years ago by photocopying pages from a vintage book and layering the triangles with black card stock, then stringing the letters.
The fireplace filled with lights
and pumpkins top the found
pedestals.
The broomstick and
Terra cotta jack.
Full effect.
......Until Christmas.....
And this table painted with a Euro scene....side table, perhaps?
If you don't feel like crafting your own check out The Shiny Squirrel for these fine dandies crafted by Jessica Grindstaff and Leilani Arita. 
Some fall shots courtesy of my Dad from Bama.
Interestingly enough, it certainly is history and fashion repeating--do you all remember Michael Jackson's military blazer??
Talk about a shoe snob......
And who could resist these? A crown, skull, and nail you! Ah well I'll probably never get a pair for myself, but for all you gentlemen out there...just sayin'......
Tracy caters to each client's needs and always keeps designs simple and current. She updates shapes and designs for each project and treats the paper more as textile, or the ancient papyrus. The paper is woven to create 3-D effects to place on otherwise flat spaces {walls}.
Although I can't promise that these designs will last or that you will want to see them 100 years from now {as the quote from William Morris suggests}, I do know that they are timeless and inspiring complements for small spaces-a closet, a bathroom, a child's room, behind a book case, or as art above a fireplace. This is simply not your mother's wallpaper-thankfully!
Which one{s} do you want?
