As we creep up on Halloween, I did a little bit of decorating. I adore the holiday of Halloween. Its spooky, contemplative, and full of costume fun! Come on now, I work in Theatre, this is the one holiday where what I do is oddly normal. I have a packed weekend ahead of me, to finish up this awesome month of October. I thought I would share with all of you out there my quaint Office that's a decorating WIP.
All of my decor is from a Dollar Store, but aside from the garlands, crows, and sign, this is what my office looks like on a regular basis. It was inspired by my love for Venice and the old world feel. All the pieces have been a growing collection. I'd like to brag that it's the coziest room in the house. I do a good share of reading on the couch, and most of my entries as well as my freelance work are done on the office computer.
Meet Hitchcock, my stone owl. I saved him from Love's garden on this past month. He was sitting sunken in the dirt on the front lawn left by the previous owners. He caught my eye when I visited his house and I was smitten by him. He's all dressed up wearing my mini Witch hat. Looking at that hat makes me miss making costumes every now and then. Perhaps when things clear out after NaNoWriMo I'll go back to it.
Kros has been put on guard duty. I never realized he matched the door until Eugene pointed him out. I think I'll keep him there year round, he's a good reminder of how far we've come. He's a souvenir of our first party we threw together; even then there were traces that we wanted to do Productions. I love him for all of this, even the 'battle scars' he's survived after moving through a dorm, and an apartment, and three houses. He even has a monologue created by Eugene somewhere in the vault...
Finishing touches are a candles in the smell of Citrus Cilantro and Mulberry. It's a nice break from the Pumpkin Everything Invasion and Cinnamon smells that seem to follow you everywhere this time of year
I hope that everyone has a safe Hallo-Weekend planned, filled with goodies and good company!
