Holiday Hopping!

Holiday Hopping - My uncle Linc defines this as one who skips important holidays and moves ahead to another. IE) The people who put their Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving. I will never understand why Birmingham Magic 96.5 FM decides to play their Christmas selection from November 1st-December 31st. Yes, you heard me correct.

Well friends and neighbors, I have committed a crime of Holiday Hopping! All on accident of course! I was perusing the Martha Stewart website and her Halloween decorations caught my eye!!! Yes, I looked, I learned, I loved!!
See for yourself!

I love this! My dining room center piece!

Finally! A use for those horrible "Gagamaggots" {Remember those horrible orange & black wrapped candies that you never ate from your Halloween loot?!}

It seems as if here lately my mind has been wandering towards the fall season that is rapidly approaching and I've started my research on great Halloween decor. {Blame it on the unseasonably mild Alabama weather we've been having!} One of my frequent follows in my blog roll is Urban Grace Interiors. My dear friend Meagan introduced me to Erika's amazing blog that displays her talents. In no way do I want to take any credit for her amazing entry on Halloween decor, so please check out the link.

What are some of your favorite fall decor? I would love to see any of your ideas....some that you wouldn't mind seeing duplicated with gratitude at the Allen house this fall. {You can bet though, I won't have up my Halloween motifs until October 1st!}

{Disclaimer: I am sorry if you are one of those people who loves to get the season started early but I simply CANNOT do this! It is a pet peeve of mine! I like for each holiday to be enjoyed to it's fullest extent and not have their thunder stolen!}
