My Martha Stewart Bats!

I can't tell you the number of hours I spent tracing, cutting, laminating those bats! They turned out ok but I really need so many more! I wanted them to come from the porch and land on the light ..but these will do for this year!!

I can never remember how I set up my front porch so it is a bit different each time! I love my sparkly black cat....she glistens in the sunlight AND by candlelight...a special little lady...
I hung witches hats from the porch ceiling...I have a thing for hanging hats on the ceiling:).....

...and please say hello to my "cauldron of enchantment"....my most prized creation that I made last year...if you look closely you can see a little fella whooooo warns us of visitors coming to the door...
...there he is!....A cousin of Hedwig.....flys away for a few hours each morning but always returns to this spot before the dew disappears!
Just a FEW more things to do on the inside and I will be done with my decorative spell for the season!!

  1. Oh Melissa,
    This is absolutely enchanting. I love it all. My favorite is the enchanted cauldron. I have to have one. And I love the hanging witches hats, and the cat, and the bats.... Oh I just love it all.
    What a wonderfully spooky front porch.

  5. So fine!!

    I love the cauldron, too.

    I set up our firepit in the front on Halloween night with life-size ghosts around it... I so wish that I had a hanger for my cauldron over it. That would be so awesome. :)

  7. Enjoyed looking at the blogs. The boys seemed to have really enjoyed the summer, but I bet they are just as active all year.
    Your halloween decorations are fun. I have, maybe three, bats hanging from my porch ceiling, but I really like the look of 'martha's bats - I may have to try that.
