I spend a lot more time on these things than I probably should

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?

  1. 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!
