Embrace the Halloween spirit with creative decorating ideas. Find inspiration for dressing up skeletons and creating spooky displays.
The Halloween spirit started when we heard we had kiddos ready to revisit us for Halloween.
That means… It was time to grab some skeletons from the basement and a few heads, wigs, hats, black cats, etc., and let’s get decorating. I was so excited!!
Do you decorate or like decorating for Halloween?
Halloween Skeletons
I bought three skeletons a few years back, and they have turned out to be excellent Halloween investments. There are so many ways to display and dress these characters.
In this Halloween Skeleton Fun post, you can check out the first year we had the skeletons and decorated them all up in our 1977 Ford truck.
And last year’s Halloween Skeleton Table Setting.
I picked up half a dozen vintage cameras while I was out and about thrifting, and they are so fun paired with the Halloween skeletons. I hung one around the neck for this year’s Halloween spirit and created a female skeleton photographer.
This old mink was such a find thrifting last year for $8.00. And costume jewelry always comes in handy, like these pearls, for a little Halloween spirit.
See how I used this mink last year on our vintage mantel in the post, Halloween Vintage Mantel.
Every girl also needs a partner in crime, so I dressed another skeleton up in my husband’s flannels and hot tub hat.
They will be so fun when the kiddos arrive on our porch on Halloween looking for candy!

1-800-Flowers for Halloween Spirit
I was very grateful to 1-800-Flowers for the gifted Halloween flower arrangement and vase.
And, of course, it was the perfect segway into our Halloween spirit on the porch.
Each rose is stamped with “Boo” or a friendly ghost.

1-800-Flowers fall flowers and plants are the perfect items to ring in the spooky season.
The purple glass vase perfectly complements the flower’s Halloween spirit, and it’s included with the 1-800-Flowers bouquet.
We truly had so much fun putting this front porch together for Halloween 2021 this year! I hope you found a bit of inspiration here today, friends!
Oh, and this old gal will be the designated one handing out all the candy!
