I have been busy patching nail holes and painting the walls in my living room. It is a slow process at my age. The house is quite a mess at this point in time with paint rollers, patching compound, sanders, hammers, nails, screwdrivers, and what all else lying around. I pushed around some of the dust from sanding the patching compound as best as I felt like doing because I wanted to take the time to set a table for Halloween for tonight. It is a relatively simple and very thrifty Halloween tablescape. I went with purple, orange, and black. The purple plates that I used earlier this month worked out nicely with the orange and black napkins.
Two napkins were folded together to make a fold to slip the spiders wire stem into. A purple spider bowl sits next to each plate. Perfect for a bowl of tomato soup to go with a warm grilled cheese sandwich for the kids before they leave to go Trick-or-treating.
The shelves have several new occupants. The bottom shelf has two red eyed owls residing smack in the middle of the shelf.
A witch has taken up residence on the shelf above the owls. She seems quite happy to sit on her broom and wile away the hours cackling at the bats that have moved in above and below her.
Benjamin Bat has the upper bunk. He stays amused with the endless chatter of the wise old owls. Harry the furry bat has the lower bunk, he is not amused at all.
Have a happy and safe Halloween!!

One wall at a time, slowly but surely it will be done.
