Happy Halloween!

I recently embraced the idea that #1, greeting cards make excellent home decor because they are affordable, diverse and easy to store, and #2, I'm allowed to buy greeting cards for myself, why not!

Since moving to Chicagoland, I've come to realize that Halloween is my favorite holiday, therefore Halloween decor is going to be a big part of my life moving forward, starting with these decorations on our TV stand and kitchen counters. Here, I'll give you a tour. Did you notice the white pineapple jack-o-lantern?

Ninety percent of my halloween decor is from thrift stores like Goodwill. I buy it throughout the year, when great stuff is just sitting there, but no one is in the mood to buy it yet.

That's where I found these amazing little metal tea light candle spiders in two sizes.

I look for cards with extra texture, like the glittery candy corn card on the right, and ones with pop-out dimension, like the ghostly scene on the left.

Please excuse the tags, I took these pictures right after buying the pillows from Home Goods.

These tiny black cats are salt and pepper shaker sisters.

It's hard to tell, but this tea cloth is covered in pineapple jack-o-lanterns!

Can't forget the pumpkin spice. What is your favorite PS treat? A steamy latte? A piece of pie or cake? What about a scone or donut? I'll take them all.
