October in White

I am very much a traditionalist when it comes to holidays. Christmas is red and green. Halloween is black and orange. But lately, I have been seeing more and more of an unusual color, or unusual to me, showing up in seasonal decor…for fall and even Halloween...and it is white! I am really starting to warm up to it, too! Sooo… I grabbed some great examples of white in October décor, crafts and recipes from The Scoop this week and I am going to share them with you.

 Tarnished Royalty shows us how to create this fabulous pearl mask…gorgeous!

Southern Home Sweet Home shared her hutch filled with a few little seasonal accents scattered among her white china collection. You know I am eyeing her tureen and the fabulous handles on those coffee pots and pitchers!

This rustic glam dresser from Number Fifty-Three sports some very subtle, yet spooky Halloween décor!

This mostly-white mantel from So Much Better with Age has the just-right combination of spooky and vintage.

And of course, we can’t talk about October whites without some ghosts! Simply Suzanne’s shows us how she makes Halloween special for her kids…including these Halloween Peeps! Whaaaat? There are Halloween Peeps? I’m off to the store!

Aren’t these cute? A Few Miner Adjustments shares her “Three Amighosts” made from scrap wood!

Crafty Journal always wows us with her cute seasonal crafts…and you’ve gotta love this mummified can! My little grands would adore this one!

And speaking of mummies…Salmagundi broke in her new kitchen by making mummy cookies with the grandkids…mess and all! My kind of grandma!

And here’s everybody’s favorite cookie turned into a cupcake…and with vanilla frosting to boot!  Confessions of an ADD Housewife shows us how to make her Snickerdoodle Cupcakes!

Having lived in France, I think of fall as the season for gathering and cooking wild mushrooms, so I love these fabulous little gems…mushroom-shaped gingerbread cookies from Twigg Studios!

Purple Hues and Me has me scouring thrift stores for old boots so I can create her whimsical planter…a cherished gift from a childhood friend!

Creative Passage has a little different twist on the sweater pumpkin. Head over to see how she created those cute stems!

 Calypso in the Country’s fall tablescape stars cute little baby boo pumpkins…

…as does Junk Chic Cottage’s fall vignette! Love that chippy bench!

And of course, if we are sharing white pumpkins, we must have a book page pumpkin! As the Card Rack Turns shows us hers…so clever!

And finally, I have to get in on the act…see, I told you I was warming up to the idea!…with my découpage insect pumpkin! You will find the tutorial for making it plus free graphics for the bugs by clicking here.

And I can't forget my super-easy Country Living inspired ghosts!  It only took about five minutes to make them and I love the little spooky but not-too-scary look they add to my front porch! You can see how I made them here.
