A group of girlfriends have
enjoyed a dinner group for over 30 years.
Cindy was our hostess this month,
and her beautiful home was ready for Halloween.
Want to take a look?

I love your friend's collections Sarah, they are so fun! The little trick or treaters are adorable, especially the one dressed up like a pea pod, very clever! Happy Halloween:@)
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! Oh, my goodness! What precious little Halloween displays your friends have. I love the vintage look to all of these and she must have been collecting for some time! I would love to see the rest of her home too! Hope you're doing well.
ReplyDeletebe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I did love seeing Cindy's Halloween decor, Sarah. It's fun to take a peek inside and see the personality of your friend's home. The whimsical decorations were a treat to check out. How nice that your group of friends enjoy your dinners together for so many years. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteCindy certainly knows how to decorate for the season - everything is just splendid. The collection of Trick or Treaters has to be my favorite - adorable characters made by a very talented artist.
ReplyDeleteKnow that was a fun time Sarah - bet you really look forward to your gathering of friends each Halloween.
Trick or treat?
Hugs - Mary
Now that's my kind of Halloween decorating! How pretty. Reminded me that I want to get more Lori Mitchell figurines. :)
ReplyDeleteI love her collection of whimsical Halloween decorations. Thanks so much for sharing. fondly ~lynne~

First of all you are lucky to have such friends for so long a time!
ReplyDeleteLucky you!
Beautiful entrance..and the cute treasures..what fun you must have had.
Beautiful home Sarah...Love the wreaths on her front doors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, fun collection. I LOVE that coven of witches. There is lots of see here and it is a "pretty" Halloween rather than a "scary" Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI used to make those black cats with the arched backs. I bet I cut out and painted a couple of hundred of them years ago...along with other cats, etc. So much fun! xo Diana
Your friends home is beautifully decorated for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteIt is just me and my hubbie here, so I do not decorate for Halloween. I rarely entertain. Bur I so decorate for fall because I just love the colors of this time of year.
Wow - what a fabulous collection of halloween items! and how fun that you all get together for dinner! How was your trip?
ReplyDeleteSarah, you know I loved this. Her displays are so creative, and she has such wonderful pieces to work with. From what I could see, her home is gorgeous too. This wasn't a trick for sure. it was a treat to see her delightful décor. Thank you for the tour. laurie
ReplyDeleteDearest Sarah,
ReplyDeleteWell, she sure did go out of her way to change it into a complete Halloween look!

I enjoyed seeing your friend's collections! She has a knack at displaying them very attractively. I think all of them are just darling!
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you and your friends still connect after 30 years.
Ah... another Austin white stone house. I would love to see a shot of the whole exterior. Your friend is such a wonderful decorator that the house outside must be truly beautiful.
