Halloween Decorations II


Hello Again from The French Hen's Nest   







This is a post from last year, but the decorations are so good that
I thought I'd post it again, since Halloween is just around the corner.  Hope that you enjoy it, and maybe get an idea or two. 


   During one of my walks this weekend, I came across some fantastically decorated homes.  Thought I would share them with you.

                   





  
                                      Blackbirds everywhere!
 



 





                        Boooooo
                                                             I love the colored pictures in the window


                                                                    


I applaud these people for all of the effort that went into these designs.  I like all of them, but have to say love the black birds.
After seeing these, I actually went to Michaels to buy a few!

Can you imagine having to remove all of these because of the hurricane? (this was last year - 2012)
We are going through it right now (Sunday evening).  Who has ever
 heard of a hurricane in late October? In Washington DC?

Hope you enjoyed the photos.

Till Next Time,
Jeannie

Fall at La Bella Luce




Hello Again From The French Hen's Nest,

    As you may know, I'm still staying with my daughter, which means that I don't get to decorate as I usually would for Fall.  And I was thinking this morning, that I always find inspiration at  La Bella Luce, because it's always decorated beautifully for each season.  I knew that I would find Fall decorations, and other lovely items there, and I certainly wasn't disappointed.  I'm going to share some of the photos I took today, hope that you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed being there.
  


  Just a reminder, La Bella Luce is located in Historic Clifton, Va.  Ginger was holding down the fort today.  The chandeliers and antiques are imported from Italy and France.  Also it is owned, and managed by military wives.  I absolutely love their decorating style, and would encourage anyone visiting the DC area to take a little trip to La Bella Luce.

There is a candle in there!

I pulled it up so that you can see it.








Love the way the front porch is decorated



This would be so pretty on my daughter's table




The dining table is dressed for Fall as well

Love the chocolate cake candle


The mantle says that Halloween is on it's way

Love the iron blackbirds


Aren't these pillows great?

A little taste of Tuscany



The Fall leaves look so pretty on the chandelier


Pretty bench at the top of the stairs

Blue and white are always a favorite

This chandelier is gorgeous, it would look great in my house

Pretty blue teapot

   I have many more photos, which I will put in another post.  I just wanted to feel the Fall.   Thank you 
La Bella Luce.

Till Nest Time,

Jeannie
