Horsey Halloween Decor

 Second post of the day - comment to enter for tomorrow's drawing!

Fall is my favorite season, and October is my favorite month. I love the cooler weather, the trees changing and the fields being harvested, and the feeling that we are headed into the holidays. 

I don't do a lot of decorating and still have the same furniture in the same places with the same paint on the walls that were there when we moved in 14 years ago. (Rumor has it that our kids are planning on changing that when they are here for Christmas - I've been asked, "If you could change the paint in here, what would you want?" Hmmmm...) 

Still, I do put a few seasonal things out. 

Hanging on my front door (on a metal horsey hanger) is a horse head made from autumn sticks, leaves, and nuts and wearing a twine halter. It's all artificial and I store it carefully away December - September and get it out again when October rolls around.

As you step into the house, my player piano always displays Cryptic in October. Cryptic is my absolute favorite of Breyer's Halloween horses. He really does look as though he is made of concrete instead of plastic!

I have an antique table that belonged to my grandparents that I use for seasonal displays in the living room. (And a set of antique sleigh bells year round because I like them!) That's Illuminati and he lights up when you press a button under his belly. (The Cowpokes and Pony Pals love my wind up ghost and jack o'lantern!)

Upstairs my carpet herd Old Timer wears his new Halloween hat in my office. Plans are to get him a hat for every season. His Christmas one has arrived and it is really cool!

He stands with Ichabod, Crane, and Nevermore. (Nevermore is another really cleverly done Halloween model.)

None of the other Halloween models ever really appealed to me and so aside from a few pumpkins on the porch, that's about the extent of my Halloween/fall decor.
