Happy Halloween!

I die. Mandy sure knows how to set a scene!

This makes me want to throw a holiday party like nobody's business.

Happy Halloween // Painted Pumpkins

I'm just a little late to the game this year with my Halloween decor . . . as in, we don't really have any. I did manage to grab a few pumpkins for the front stoop, and I hadn't really thought too much about dressing them up until Erika went and posted her edgy chic version.

Helloooo, nurse! How cute are those?

Loving this equally inspiring no-carve option from Lacquer and Linen:

These guys are guaranteed showstoppers:

If I were to partake, I think this direction would be my favorite for this year:

Such a unique palette. And t'would be perfect for the Thanksgiving table with our china.

Hmmm. Maybe I ought to give it some more thought . . .

You guys getting crafty with your pumpkins this year?

I tell ya, Pinterest has no shortage of inspiration floating around!
