Having the "Post Christmas" & "not nearly close enough to Halloween" blues I was having a wander around town today and happend upon a local charity shop. I thought I would go in and see if they had any interesting bits and I could not believe my eyes when I walked in!
There, standing on a shelf, was the most beautiful piece of sculpture I have ever seen. (And I am no way into sculpture, but this has no other way of describing it!)
It was stood there looking all falorn. I looked at it for a few seconds.....saw the price tag £5 and thought " your coming home with me "
Tell me what you think? I think it is amazing! It is about 2ft tall and made from wrought iron. It holds 9 candles and I can not wait till I can put it out at Halloween.
That is an amazing find. You can leave it the color it is or refinish in a black, throw some purple or orange candles on top and maybe weave something through, like a shredded glittered garland for a fancier effect or just some spider web for a more traditional look. Red candles would also look great and throw a great piece of red velvet underneath it for a gothic effect. Good luck and have fun you really lucked out.
I also went into our Wilkinsons (A store a little like your TJ Maxx), they were selling off the last of their Christmas decs. They had lots of black decorations and I managed to pick up some great baubles with stars all over them and a few other bits. All of them adaptable to Halloween and the best bit was they were reduced by 75 %.
I really like the idea of covering the tree in little lit up pumpkins, with spiderweb weaved in between!!

This is my first year of setting up things that could actually be damaged by the weather. I wasn't fully aware of how much damamge the wind could do. Well, the wind whipped through Michigan last night and managed to topple my gazebo/mausoleum. I saw that it was toppled this morning before...
