Halloween Primitives as a Home Decoration

The use of Halloween primitives as home decoration has been a yearly tradition in our family.  Halloween is our favorite time of year, with it being harvest time and the leaves on the trees changing color and the slight hint of coolness in the evening air.  We love all the little ghosts and goblins and princesses and pirates that come to our door for a sweet treat!  We love to treat their eyes, too, and it starts us all thinking about how we will decorate our home for Halloween this year.

After much spirited debate, we have decided on a witch theme.  We have a really long front porch that has a rail the whole length of it and is about six feet deep.  We think that it looks like the perfect shape to make into a general store for witches!  A homespun gnarly witch doll, with the obligatory wart on her nose, will welcome our little guests at the entrance to her store.  The first area will be reserved for assorted flying broomsticks.  A stuffed black cat, its back arched, will be the next thing they see, just as all the noise from the rattling bones in the magic cauldron area start making loud noises.  Next, bats made of cloth will fly past their heads in the magic potion area.  They'll see shelves back lit with a black light with all kinds and sizes of jars and bottles with unidentifiable contents floating in them and glowing in the dark.  Next will be the magic spell book area and they will be startled by the pages that seem to turn by themselves.  The final page tells them to go see the witch for their treat.

Finally, they will reach our front door where a real live witch in pointed black hat and robes will be giving out candy treats from out of a bowl that looks like a smoking cauldron.  Hopefully the children will make it that far before running away!  If they do, they will have a whole year to recover and look forward to what our next year's decorations will be.

How will you be decorating your home with Halloween Primitives?
