It's loaded with tons of great Halloween ideas, including unique pumpkin decorations, spooky home decor and edible treats. How fun is this candle idea?! Love the skeleton hands and me thinks, the Graphics Fairy has a ton of vintage images that would be perfect to create your own version.
And you can't have a Halloween party without some cobweb cake and poison cookies. Yum and yum!
Seriously this book is loaded with lots of spook-tacular ideas (sorry, couldn't resist being a little hokey!) and the best part? Country Living has provided me with a copy for YOU!

The folks at Country Living magazine have an amazing new Halloween book out. It's called Spooky & Bright, 101 Halloween Ideas. If you've been following my blog for a while, you probably know I'm both a huge fan of Halloween and of Country Living! So how thrilled was I when a review copy landed on my porch?!

How about hanging some eerie plates for your Halloween festivities?! Or turning some black goblets into candleholders? Love how they are displayed on a tray!

Here's a peek at some of the goodies I picked up yesterday at the Country Living fair.
Lots of ephemera. Vintage price tags and petite French flashcards.
Brass number tags.
I'll bet you recognize the graphic on this little crate! It's one of my faves from The Graphics Fairy.
Nautical soaps.
My boys picked out this little Trick or Treat sign.
As I said, I did not go crazy but am totally happy with my little purchases!

My mom gave me a cute holiday book over the weekend: Deck the Halls from Country Living magazine. It has a ton of adorable holiday ideas and pages that you can rip out, cut and use for decorations. I spied a Santa and reindeer silhouette, and thought they'd look great in some of the glass ornament bulbs I got over the summer at a garage sale.
First, I scanned the tag images so I wouldn't have to cut the originals. I printed them out on regular white paper. Then I used my Cricut to cut them into an oval shape - to make them easier to add to each bulb.
I rolled them into a scroll to get them in, and then used splinter tweezers to un-curl them. Next, I added some faux snow to the bottom of each bulb. Tie on some tea-stained seam binding for a cute bow and then some baker's twine in red/white so they can be hung from the tree.
While I was at it, I used some miniature bottle brush trees for some simple ornaments too. I used Glue Dots to secure them to the bottoms of each bulb, the splinter tweezers to get them in, and then added some faux snow. I decided to skip the seam binding for these, and just added the baker's twine so we could hang them.
Super duper easy to make each of these!
