It's confession time. This is so hard to say, but . . . .
I'm not doing Halloween this year. I love Halloween, I do! We have had a huge party every year, on the Saturday before Halloween, since our daughter was four. Lots of decor, lots of food, lots of fun. But now she's in college, and we're preoccupied with a couple of huge projects, like painting our house trim, getting control of our jungle of a garden, and all kinds of other damage control. Something had to go if it's all ever going to get done.
My very favorite Halloween decor, the thing I will surely miss the most this year, is my collection of vintage kitties. Well, they're not vintage, but vintage look-alikes. I thought I would revisit some of the Halloween kitty decorations I have done in past years. You can see the full post of each by clicking on the highlighted text.
Last year the kitties graced the kitchen shelves, to cheer us in our breakfast nook.
In 2010, they were displayed on our mantel, along with some harlequin-decoupaged clay pots and candles.
In 2009, a few of the kitties made an appearance for a special Black Cat Breakfast tablescape.
Next week I'll put up a few other Halloween photos from years past!
I'm joining Kim for Wow Us Wednesday and Debbiedoo's Power of Pinterest.
What cute black cats (and I'm not a cat fan). But yours are really cute. It's completely different when the kids are gone, isn't it?

I'm right there with ya! With both girls away at college now, Halloween just isn't the same around here. You had some great decor! Love your collection of cats!

Your black cat collection is wonderful! I have one huge "vintage styled" kitty that I love. Aren't their faces adorable? Linda

I adore those black cats. I love them every way you've used them.

Hi - I just discovered your blog last evening via a link party and am so happy that I clicked on your entry. I scrolled through a ton of your older posts enjoying all the pretty pictures. I love your decorating style, much of which is mine as well.
