Fall is my favorite time of year and Halloween…my all time favorite holiday! Each fall…inspired by the ‘spirit’ of the season…Halloween’s eerie beauty unfolds at our house. I call it ‘morbid’ elegance.  This year…even our Outdoor Room couldn’t escape Halloween’s skeletal embrace…bewitched into an ethereal scene of ghostly ‘White Fright.’

Don’t be afraid…step inside…the Count and Countess of ‘White Fright’…are expecting you…

The Spider’s work is quite beautiful…bathed in the morning light…

But the light…

…can play tricks on you…

Herenothing...is quite what it seems...

Parchment lanterns on bleached curly willow…seem to welcome…

…but come closer…

The Chandelier’s lovely light lures

….you in…

…as does the view

And beautiful glass urnsdraped in white tulle beckon

But don’t be fooled...

….the beauty belies a web of trickery.

Yes…dressed in a paper witch hat...

…and Burberry finery…

The Count and Countess of ‘White Fright’ have rolled out an eerie welcome…

Sweet treats...

…Some trapped under glass…

Light reading…

…and refreshments await

…Are you…game?

The gauze curtains…billow in the breeze…

…And eerie decor is draped in cotton…burlap….

and dripping in Spanish moss

and webbing

Organic pieces…with an unnatural twist…

The place could definitely use a good dusting…but the Count and Countess…

can’t seem to find good help…though the mail is…hand delivered…

The all important day is coming…

All Hallows’ Eve is near…

‘Whooooo’ will be coaxed into ‘rapping at the chamber door…

Like the Spiderthe Count & Countess weave an intricate web

Of  ‘White…Fright…’

…drop by….they are waiting

But don’t be afraid...

It’s only make believe…

Ciao,

And Happy Halloween

Monica
