Halloween 2011: The Decoration Starts!

The rule around the house is (after much convincing by my darling man): we don't start decorating until after his birthday, which falls in mid-September, and we take everything down by Thanksgiving. I keep out a few skulls and have general freedom for haunted-house chic year-round, but for specifically Halloween decor, that's my window.

So Saturday was the first weekend day where the boxes could come down from the attic and I could start setting things out. OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY!

I'm an interior haunter; my yard is spook-free. I have yet to think about themes or specific props this year, so I decided to just dig into storage and go whole-hog on all the nifty little odds and ends I've collected or been gifted over the years.

I will post some set-up pictures over the next few days. Just to start sharing the spirit of the season. But I cannot wait to start crafting and seeing what wonderful prop ideas all my Halloween bloggy friends are pulling together this year. It's so exciting!
