    Beth, Kalli, spunkyjunk, Jodi, Rhiannon & Miranda: Thank you SO MUCH girlies!

    ailicec: Burton? Holy hell? A pants-crapping cool compliment! I'm dumbstruck! :)
    (T H A N K Y O U !)

    And dearest O: I would, but I only just made it! It's a branch I broke off from a tree in
    our backyard & then spraypainted black. I think when Hallie's over, I shall make it a
    doll tree! For Easter I plan to spray a branch pink and for Valentine's a red one, etc. Man, our brains should make out! They were made for each other! Hee hee! Love you, too, Ladyloo! You are awesome! ♡

    Aah, I saw a very similar tree the other day, I would have loved to have bought it, but we have the most destructive cat in the world, I would just be picking it up off the floor all day. I agree with .olivia. that mantle was MADE for that tree, you should keep it up all the time!

  11. ellokittee (68 months ago | reply)

    Wait, you MADE that?!

    Aww, Marina, thank you so much! :)

    And Sarah: Yes, but it's mostly Martha magic & the beauty of the branch
    itself. Page 10 in the 'Good Things' part of her special Halloween issue.

    gorgeous!

    I absolutely LOVE this! I wish I have a fireplace and mantle like yours, plus the built - in bookcases. I am green with envy. Your Halloween decor is "to die for!" This belongs in a magazine.

  18. DanielleT (68 months ago | reply)

    oh my good Lord, you are AMAZING! this is the coolest halloween decoration i have ever seen. Truly. This inspires me to decorate.

  19. sally_monster (68 months ago | reply)

    Missy your home is so beautiful. Jeez you have such amazing style! All the black and white and orange looks totally stunning. I expect everything you touch becomes a work of art.

    I really love these glimpses into your world. It's like heaven.

    The little Jigsaw Killer doll cracked me up. I am SO going straight out and buying myself one of those! I just love everything about this photo. It gives me tingles.

    LOVE YOU!

    You are very talented. That spread looks great!

  21. glamourfae (68 months ago | reply)

  22. Venus In Furs (68 months ago | reply)

    I want to come stay at your house.

  23. melissann (68 months ago | reply)

    I love the tree and the pillar candle holders! Happy Halloween!

  24. *Shey*[B] (68 months ago | reply)

    I LOVE this!!! It looks like it belongs in a magazine! I need to shop for Halloween with you!!!

  25. Melificent (68 months ago | reply)

  27. daisy_princess (68 months ago | reply)

    eeep I love your fireplace! We have a similar 'theme/look' going on in our living room too, very haunted house-y

  28. The Dolly Mama (68 months ago | reply)

    It is soooooo beautiful and neat and tidy!!! I love that fireplace and the decorations on it.. What are your kids going as for Halloween? Will we be seeing photos?

  29. Wickedlady (68 months ago | reply)

    Oh my bloody christ i cant believe I missed your party. I should have just hopped right into the truck and got my ass over there!! Your house looks soooo amazing!! And that shelf of vintage cameras!!!!!! SQUEEEE!! I want!! The pez wall is unbelieveably rad and those other shelves just full of goodies. I wanna explore your house and get my nose into every nook and cranny. Really makes me long for my own house where I can just go crazy with all my own stuff that has never been displayed. Someday....

    Well I am vitually Halloweenless here. Feel like I am missin out. No neighbours so no little kids running around on a candy mission. Feels weird.

    And that inredible FEAST! The spread is divine! I would love to dig in to that bowl of popcorn, whatever it is, and the pumpkin of booze. DAMNNN!!! You are the queen of gnarly-ass-kickin coolness.

    XOXOXO
