For the September sale at Good Juju’s First Friday weekend, I conjured up some witch’s hats to hang in my entry. They are hung with black chandeliers and the frames I already had up there.
The frames help give the giant, up high slice of my real estate some more “umph”. I think the hats would just disappear with out the frames behind them.
When I plan such things, I need to remind myself just how big this area is. Previously, I hung some teensy birdcages which was a complete waste of time. These witch hats teeter on the edge of time wasting too, I shoulda made them larger.
For the August event, I finally made a sign with my name on it, but once I had the hats dangling, it didn’t look right.
So I replaced it with this fall wreath that I’d picked up for a buck. That seemed to go with the rest of the look much better.
My first inclination was to write the word “haunted” on a piece of paper and tape it above Cottage. I thought it would be funny.
But honestly, I just don’t like the sign itself. My writing is a mess and makes the sign look amateurish. I need to rethink and redo the words before I rehang.
The “KarlaNathan.com” was left up there, the black and white simplicity of it seemed to go well with the rest of the design. But I do want a nicer Karla’s Cottage to add, so back to work.
Sometimes I wonder at my choices for how I spend my time. Does this even matter?
It’s all looking great! Are shoppers buying your Halloween already? I am planning on launching a full-blown Halloween display in my antique booth beginning September 1… I just may rethink that and start getting things out today!
