Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's

Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party.  It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her.  Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th.  I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time.  One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table.  I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time.   People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...

Hump Day Poll: Outdoor Appeal

Your outdoor décor right now this year:

Halloween-ish
Autumn theme
Do dead flowers count?

Do dead flowers count?  Sadly, this year I have nothing up.  My vintage Beistle paper decorations got pretty fried in the sun last year so I need to dig them out and put them on the inside of the door for the Mr and I to enjoy.  We never get any trick or treaters, no one is coming over and it's still 80+ friggin' degrees, so why bother?  I'll just wait for Christmas to make an impression.

How about you?  Halloween-ish. Autumn theme, or do dead flowers count?

  1. Well we had a real spider web but I took that down yesterday so I guess we are not decorated for Halloween at all now.

  2. I hung a banner from the Dollar Tree on the front door, haven't even dug out my actual fall decorations.

  3. That door picture is so pretty!

    I decorate for all the major holidays, year round. I have set places I rotate things in the house. I have set days it goes up and cones down. So it is a very quick process. I switched to a 5’ tree, so even Xmas is easy.

    It is all stored in easy to find/use way. Everything has a set spot, no thinking required.

    My biggest help - I went thru everything years ago and only saved what I love. And I made myself a promise - if I don’t use it, I have to get rid of it.

  4. The door is pretty but mostly I see a trip hazard! But I'm a klutz and likely to knock over anything in my path ;)

    As per usual, I have grand decorating plans for Halloween and have yet to execute any. I usually get something up by trick or treat weekend. I did manage to plant most of the mums I buy annually from my friends hometown farmers guild. Those usually stay in their pots clustered in one of the beds. I really want to do some sort of tentacle thing coming out of the ground but haven't gotten farther than a supply list.

  5. Dead flowers definitely count. I have a Pennywise doormat that I just bought, I have ripe tomatoes to pick, and one of my rosebushes looks like it's going to bloom one more time this year. That's about as decorated as I'm going to be, a mix of Halloween and clinging onto the tail end of summer. As much as I love Halloween, I don't do much in the way of decorating - because I'm lazy and I'm bad at it and I don't want to have to take it down after the holiday.
