We did it! We spent all day last Sunday decorating the inside and outside of our home for Halloween. We decided to get an early start on it, because Jayson’s lovely brother and nephew are coming this Friday to stay with us for a long weekend. Jayson’s brother’s son is the same age as Eben so we thought it would be fun to have everything decorated before they arrived. My favorite Halloween decorations are the ones that we made ourselves or picked up at vintage stores. Have you started your Halloween decorating? Need a little inspiration?
This week’s Earth friendly Etsy shop is Willow Creek Sparrow. Willow Creek Sparrow is a lovely little shop full vintage and handmade goodies. Willow Creek Sparrow is owned by Laurie and her two lovely daughters. All three of them love to shop their local flea markets, thrift stores, estate sales, trunk shows, antique and vintage boutiques and their shop is a collection of all of their wonderful finds. My favorite items at Willow Creek Sparrow are things for the holidays. I am in love with their upcycled pillows, bags and other decorations, with my absolutely favorite being the Love Potion #9 Witch.
Laurie & her daughters @ Willow Creek Sparrow have been so sweet to offer TWO of my readers a Love Potion #9 and lovely little crow. You heard right, we will have TWO winners this week. Yay! Love Potion #9 is a sweet little handmade & upcycled 19″ tall witch. She is perched upon a wooden base, complete with her flowing plaid skirt, love potion #9 necklace and her best friend the crow. The lovely little crow is handmade from an upcycled wool sweater. He has a lovely key and heart necklace, button eyes and is perched upon his wooden stand. He would look so lovely as the centerpiece in your dining room.

What a great shop!
I really was drawn to the Farm House Recipe Box. My mom had one sort of like this in her kitchen while were growing up. Brought back sweet memories, and I’d love to have it my home. It’s funny what we connect with sometimes 🙂
Thanks!

Favorite Halloween decoration – was the one we used growing up. An old white sheet over a big balloon “head”, strung up in our huge maple tree. It was indeed quite spooky, practically free, and quite original, I thought. Can’t do it now because I don’t have a huge old maple tree, so we do scary pumpkins instead. 🙂

My favorite Halloween decoration is this old light up ghost that I have had since I was a baby. Lots of sentimental value.
