I'd love everyone's ideas on this year's party. I'm going for the Colonial Style Sleepy Hollow Theme. I'm doing the spooky Headless Horseman theme outside but indoors will be kind of like the VanTassel party. I'm doing a version of HGTV's Halloween block party.

I have this print for over the mantel. Also have a large print of the covered bridge.

I love that ham dinner so I'm going with that but I need dessert ideas. I have a ton of Halloween recipes but want something to go with my theme

I have a board on my Pinterest (link in signature)...BTW I love what you've come up with so far

You could do mini pies, it would look rustic and in keeping with the theme...maybe apple, cherry and pumpkin

Beautiful idea!! I was already following your Board! LOL Can't wait to see what you do.

 

[Kelloween]

great idea! I love the look!

 

[Stochey]

Ugh... drool... can I come?

That is going to be spectacular... I would encourage everyone who wanted costume suggestions to just wear costumes of that time period!

I agree with the pie idea for desserts!

The window thing is kind of nice..though I would put the light outside so it shows through the inside of the house?

Great theme idea. Wow, will you be settled in the new place by then? You are so good at this moving and settling in.

I have had you and family and all the military families at Ft. Hood on my mind tonight. What a tragedy---again.

That window horseman that Kelloween posted is fabulous!

Thanks Printer, it's really sad. You survive deployment to come home and be shot on your own base I feel so bad for the families.

If I don't unpack anything I'll unpack the Halloween boxes. Haha...it will actually probably be easier. I won't have to take down all of the existing stuff. I'm insane with Halloween decorating. I change curtains, pictures, what knots, dishes, bedding. Everything. Totally like another house.

Kelloween I have that window silhouette pinned but never thought to have it shine on the inside. Brilliant! Definitely 100% doing that. Thanks!

Beautiful boards pumpkinpie. I was happy to see I was already following you! Funny how we find each other hu. Haha...looks like we have the same vision of sleepy hollow

 

[booswife02]

Stochey, absolutely you can come. We are moving (military) so maybe it will be near you

Anyone have ideas on the cheapest and best way to do these burlap type tablecloth and curtains? Or where to buy them premade if they are not bazillion dollars.
Joann fabrics has burlap fabric but it's $12.99 a yard.
I've checked etsy and eBay. Just want to make sure theres nothing cheaper out there

My friend just did a wedding for her daughter last month with tons of burlap, she got it at Lowes 3' X 24' rolls $10 ( we live in Missouri but I'd figure prices will b similar from state to state)

Yeah I had to steal a few of your pins...love your ideas

Check out my thanksgiving board too, I have these adorable little (donut hole) acorns that might also b a cute dessert I'm thinking anything natural, fall, Victorian and silver/pewter will fit your theme beautifully

 

[booswife02]

I never would have thought to look at Lowe's. Awesome. I don't know why anyone who has a party doesn't bounce it off of everyone here. Saves time and money and you get even more ideas.

You have said exactly the look I'm going for. A lot of fall type things with fancy silver. The good part is I can put away all of my headless stuff and the dining room will already be set for Thanksgiving.

 

[pumpkinpie]

That's true...sneaky sneaky u will have the prettiest Thanksgiving around

 

[matrixmom]

theres also save on crafts.com which throws some good deals on burlap. But I think Lowes may be the best deal.

 

[booswife02]

I'll check there also. Thanks MatrixMom
