EEEK…I didn’t mean to publish two Halloween ghost décor projects in a row, but that’s how the cookie crumbled this year. But this one is pretty different…AND it’s to be used outdoors in your yard! But anyway- here’s the story: I found a bin of ceiling fan blades that were SUPER cheap, and there was a pack of white blades on the top. Right off the bat, I saw the potential of creating little ghost ornaments (think the Pac-man variety) to hang out in the yard.Read more ›
Floating Ghost Décor with Brass Candlesticks
October 12, 2017 · By · 44 Comments
After last Halloween when I created this fun candy holder, I was determined to create a smaller ghost décor project that kinda-sorta matched it. But I desperately wanted whatever ghost project I created to have the appearance of “floating”, if that makes sense. I finally figured out a peculiar, but very Sadie-esque, solution: brass candlesticks from the thrift store!Read more ›
Spooky Halloween Light Post Décor
October 8, 2017 · By · 36 Comments
Over the years, Mr. Seasongoods has become accustomed to scanning the curb for interesting “things” that could become blog projects for me- and just a few weeks ago, he came across a pair of these old, beat-up candle holder lanterns. Each one was reminiscent of an old style light post, and he was fairly convinced I could use them- so he loaded them up and drove them home.Read more ›
Halloween Magic Potion Bottles

I’ve been on a “revisiting old thrift store finds” kick lately- first that old magazine holder from 2015, and now this old spice rack (ALSO from 2015). This little ditty has been taking up space and gathering dust as a hobby for nearly two years- and with Halloween around the corner, I finally decided that it was long overdue for a revamp!Read more ›

From Basket to Candy Bowl – A Halloween Makeover!
October 27, 2015 · By · 42 Comments
October is almost over- how is that possible? But before it slips away, I wanted to bring to you my latest upcycled project for The Good Life Blog! If you’ll recall, I was asked to be a part of this fun group of thrifty bloggers, brought together by Goodwill Industries of the Upstate/Midlands South Carolina. So far for Goodwill, I’ve blogged about DIY Wall Art and Creating a Thrifty Gift, and this month I went with a Halloween theme. And this is a project that is SO SIMPLE that literally anyone can do it, I promise. It uses just three things- a basket, orange paint, and some black felt- that’s it!Read more ›
Door Gourd: Paper Plate Holder Jack-o-Lantern Décor
September 8, 2015 · By · 95 Comments
Whenever I develop a simple project that relies on readily available thrift store items, I get an extra charge of satisfaction. And this Halloween-themed project is no exception- while I was at my local Goodwill, I simply couldn’t get away from these wicker / rattan paper plate holders- there were a TON of these in the housewares section.Read more ›

October 14, 2014 · By · 58 Comments
I’ve mentioned it before and I’ll mention it again- one of my favorite places to go for both crafting inspiration and supplies is Habitat ReStore. And for some reason this year, I can’t stop making Halloween décor using salvaged light fixtures.
First, I made Light Cover Ghosts.
And now? A light fixture Jack-o-Lamp!Read more ›
