Time To Pull Out The Halloween Blow-Ups… Stacking Pumpkins

Time to get Mr. Glow-nads out-

 

It’s October 6th!!!!  Do you do anything special?

There are so many cool decorations out there -

My brother sets up a coffin in his front yard, and lays in it Halloween night to scare the treaters  (that isn’t him below)-

 

My sister bought a life-size Freddy that she stands up in her foyer every year-

We don’t have scary, we just have a bunch of blow ups -

The weather forecast for this weekend looks to be fabulous -  70′s and sunny -  perfect for setting up the ‘guys’.

I did pull out my fall wreath that I updated last year, with gilded pumpkins-

Even though I sprayed them with a poly last year, they encountered a little bit of weathered wear-

Today I was working for a client that must LOVE this time of year,  I could tell-

WWe know how I LOVE spiders  ….this guy was huge and freaked me out!

I stopped on way home and bought some pumpkins for the front porch….  pumpkins led to stacking gourds and corn stalks….

Aren’t these colorfully, wonderfully, perfectly awesome?

Okey, I’ll fess up -  I got the idea from my client -

 

but I’m certain she would take that as a compliment !

The blowups will complete the scene -   Mr. Husband,  drop the attic ladder!


 

 

 

Outdoor Decor Ideas – Taking Caromal Colours Outside…

Carol and Al Kemery, owners of Caromal Colours, recently shared some fun project ideas for taking Caromal Colours outside the house

Watch Carol’s appearance on the 10! Philadelphia News Show as she shows you how to brighten your garden with color and add a touch of elegance or whimsy with some simple designs and the Textured Basecoats.  Don’t be afraid to paint wahtever you have around your house or garage, remember the Basecoats stick to just about any surface!  So have fun – just remember to topcoat your pieces to protect them from the elements.  Use your favorite polyurethane or their personal favorite, Liberon Wax.

ARE YOU READY TO GET SOME CAROMAL COLOURS FOR YOURSELF?

Caromal Colours are not carried in big stores.  There are a handful of small country/ home furnishing stores through the US that may carry a limited selection,  but if you purchase in a store that owner will receive credit not me.    If this post was informative and helpful in your ‘how-to’ searches, a simple, but huge, way to thank me  is this:   if you decide to use these products,  order them from Caromal Colour’s  online store and use my code, PattyH in the coupon code area. This code is needed in order for me to receive credit for the order,  if you forget to use it I lose. You don’t pay more by using my code – and if you order online you won’t pay tax (outside PA).
