I really wanted to have a Halloween party this year but with the slow economy and husband pay cut, How could I have a fun, creative and budget friendly party? Sooooooo we are having a
“Dead Broke” Halloweens party!
We are inviting our friends to a BYOB and also asking them to bring a snack to share. I stated decorating last weekend and I’m having a ball recycling all my Halloween decorations. I collect orange glass year round and I just added bright Orange lights to two of the hutch and topped it off with a Jack-O-Lantern and some vintage black cat bookends. The Fireplace mantel is not finished the skeleton still needs a bug to feed her giant spider. I’ll take some more photos as I get ready for the party.
I’m getting sooo excited!

Hi Patty..
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUN idea...very clever!! So true about our economy , on a slow bleed I am afraid. Fun idea to recycle goodies and mix it up a bit. The BYOB is a great idea as well... I think we are all in the same boat...and if everyone pitches in and does their share...this situation will work out for all...
Have a Blast...PLEASE do send pics when you can...
Hugs,
Jodi

ReplyDeletePatty,
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful decorations and I love the orange glass with the lights. I bet that is truly spectacular in person. Your party sounds like a blast. Good for you for not letting the finances defeat you. This has been a tough year for us too. But I find I am discovering what is most important to me and how much I don't need. I too want to see the decorations when finished and pictures of the party please??? Thanks for sharing! Big hug,
Tammy
Thanks Tammy!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are right. we learn to do without and cherish what we have.
When the going gets tough...have a party!
I'll take a lot of photos and maybe share a video.

I think it is a great idea. Everyone is feeling the pinch this year. I never mind taking a dish to share, it is mostly about being with friends. I love your decorations...but, I knew I would!

What a clever idea. And a good way to show off all the cool Halloween goodies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea...I love the orange lights and will steal that creativity from you... friends are the real treasure of a party and I'm sure yours will have a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteVery original idea..I like it. I'm sending your blog address to someone that was circulating pics of your work with the EHAG artist trying to locate you...I hope she makes a purchase! All the best, Will
