There was a challenge posted on Mini Mod Pod to make a Halloween scene. Well, even though the Heritage is incomplete, grandma is open for business on Halloween!
Her kitchen broom is poised by the settee, and the local children insist they’ve seen her fly around the yard on it. Grandma says she wishes it would fly around on its own and clean the leaves off the front steps. Haaaaaaaaaa!
Grandma has a freshly carved jack-o’-lantern out front.
I apologize for the poor quality of the video, but it’s the best my camera will do. At least you get to see the flickering LED!
Carving one was hard enough, so she left the others whole. ;]
There are bats flying around the portico. :O
Mice are trying to break into the kitchen. :\
Mr. and Mrs. Scarecrow have stopped by to say hello. I made these for the tutorial I posted earlier.
I’ve borrowed the step stool from Baslow Ranch and the sunflowers from Baxter Pointe Villa for the front porch. The ceramic pumpkin basket by Alex Meiklejohn holds candy for trick-or-treaters. Grandma gives out full sized chocolate bars! She has more in the bag in case they go fast.
The chocolate bars are made by wrapping foil around tiny pieces of cardboard (1/4″ x 1/2″) and then applying a custom made label. The candy wrapper label came from Today’s Creative Blog, but I had to change the font. The original type was illegible when printed so small. I love the vintage feel and personal touch of these wrappers. I thought about using actual candy wrapper images, but grandma is more creative than that!
Looks like grandma has been reading Edgar Allan Poe outside while enjoying the crisp autumn air. The afghan was made by Mary of Woodland Miniatures/Roslyn Treasures. I made the book for the Heritage parlor bookcase.
The two pumpkin birdhouses are by Whimsy Cottage Minis.
This one Lyssa bought for me. :D She also made the tree and owl picture you see in the front window by the settee.
So, will you dare to climb the front steps for a full sized chocolate bar?!!
Or, are you a scaredy cat who worries about ending up in the cellar?
Boo!
