But alas, real life reared its head this week. My son has been home sick from school ALL WEEK and I have been working hard at keeping him happy, comfy and occupied.
Then I found out that my childhood Halloween was tragically cut short for no good reason (you can read about it here) and well, I have totally lost my mojo and just didn't have the energy needed to put together a table that didn't involve paper plates.
So instead I thought I'd take a quieter, slower paced route and just show you a little black and orange for the Halloween weekend. What is more inspiring than black and orange?
Enjoy your weekend and eat some candy corn for me!
Pam,
ReplyDeleteGreat pics...I have already started eating the candy corn for you:)
Blessings,
Linda
Too bad your little guy is sick. I know several sick folks right now. I hope he feel better very soon Pam. Love the punkin with black chair. Happy Halloweeeen!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful in its simplicity....I love it! That pumpkin has great "stemmage", girl. Can I be honest? I actuallyenjoy this even more than elaborate tablescapes. This coming from someone who only has white dishes and brown stoneware and no cloth napkins, tablecloths or placemats! I, for one, am a huge fan of paper plates!!! LOL. So kudos to you for bypassing the self-inflicted stress of trying to do something any more elaborate than this vignette when you have a kiddo home sick. Nothing you could have done would have been any more effective or stunning.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and a hauntingly good Halloween!

I see you got a pumpkin! I love the simplicity of the shots, but have a confession. I was telling the man about how you got cheated as a kid(sorry Pam, I did have a chuckle at the irony) but nonetheless felt bad for you. Look at it this way, what if someone was planning to put bad stuff in the candy one of those years, crisis diverted:) At least you didn't have the option, as opposed to my child hood of hearing how stupid it was and blah, blah, blah, coming from my mom's mouth. Misery loves company, so cheers to us, lol.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you got a pumpkin...and you gotta black chair...and you got yourself some candy corn...do you see where this is going? You can sit a spell and eat yourself sick! Cute post...lovely in its simplicity! Hugs-Diana
ReplyDeleteYou got some lovely photos. I love the texture in the pumpkin shots. Hope your son gets to feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!!! I love the leaves. I hope your son is better. My two girls were home this week with strep and flu. Luckily, they were not very sick and we really had a nice week home with the rainy, cold weather outside.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics Pam. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your childhood Halloween--but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.
ReplyDeleteHope the son is better soon. No fun for him.
I think alot of Halloween stuff was early this year due to the holisdy being on a Sunday this year.
Good Luck!
PS--Love your pics.
I hope your son is feeling better soon, Pam! I think your photos are really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful chair and the display pics were absolutely gorgeous.............cudo's......Greg
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I love the leaves lying under the chair. Simple and beautiful!
