Front Porch Halloween Ready

At the last antique show of the season a vender had these great sap buckets. I picked up a few knowing they would look great on the front porch in a fall display. I feel like I have finally gotten into fall just ahead of the snow getting ready to fly.





I originally had some beautiful purple kale in the large sap bucket but my gardening nemesis, the deer ate them all. Now it is holding up a bird house.




A witch's bouquet is in one of the other sap buckets.









The porch is ready for our trick or treaters!

    Those pumpkins are beautiful...so bright and orange. We had a pumpkin carving contest this weekend, and will post them tomorrow. You might enjoy. Happy week to you, my friend.

    I like your witch and how you used the candle holders and lamp to display the pumpkins. Thank you for visiting and for your kind words. I really appreciate it.

    Your halloween porch looks great. Australians are slowly getting into halloween but it is nowhere as big here as it is in the States.
