~First Friday~Fall Decor......Pink Saturday~Pink Halloween Too

Hello gals.....and guy(Alfie Laroo~Bro)~I have been busy trying to create a Pink,Shabby Halloween. Let's just say that the task is not so easy. I am much better at the traditional Blk. & Orange decor.

I have been so busy that I have decided to combine FIRST FRIDAY'S and PINK
SATURDAY
I did get a bit sidetracked......browsing the web for a vintage trailer. A gazillion emails later and I have a few to look at and wish for. LeAnn this is for you.......They have a
new 2008 model Shasta~Coachman~For the low,low price of 20 grand! Can you believe it?!(sarcasm in my voice)

Here is a sneak peek at my entryway/ decor for Halloween....I will be decorating the front yard and back porch this weekend.



What do you think.......Shabby and Pink or Drabby and Stink? LOL


First Friday

Love your halloween decor! The pincushions are so cute. Happy First Friday!

Lynn@ The Vintage Nest said...

Hi Sherie Too, Yep pink, black and orange is hard to do. I did my outside decorating yesterday (don't know why 'cause no one sees it). My pink and white flowers are still blooming so pretty so I just bought pink and burgundy mums to go with them and the orange pumpkins and white gourds. Somehow it worked. If you want the Halloween scare of your life visit my Pink Saturday tomorrow. :) MH

Jean said...

I love all the pin. especially the pumpkins and the skulls. I may steal that idea. I'll be back soon.

Glenda said...

I just can't get me head around another color for them. To each his own.

Ciao

I so love those pink pumpkins and all of your other lovely pink Halloween decorations. Maybe I'm not so crazy after all wishing I could decorate my house in pink for Halloween. So much prettier than black and orange :)
