My Flying Purple People Eater Front Porch

For the first day of fall I wanted to share a first look at my Flying Purple People Eater Front Porch! This year I went with all shades of purple!

As we celebrate the changing of the season into fall, you can join me as we take a first look at My Fall Flying Purple People Eater Front Porch. This year I found myself yet again just not feeling the traditional tones of orange and yellow. Honestly I am not sure why I was not feeling it, but this also happened to me last year as well and I went with an all red & white color story that you can see here with an apple picking theme.This year I think I was inspired by the royal purple of the queen, so I went all in on shades of purple. I used pretty colors like Lavender, Aubergine and mum’s in a Fuchsia purple color. I accented the purple with black and white buffalo check, which goes with anything. Plus, I used the black and white last year and loved how it worked so well with my Halloween decor, so I ordered these fun reversible pumpkin pillows for this year. They are check on one side and say Hey Pumpkin on the other, too cute right? They are perfect for the bench which is highly visible from the street, so I can send out a cute little holiday message to the passersby, for when I am not actually out on the porch giving a friendly little wave!In addition to the shades of purple, this year I went with all white pumpkins. We shall see how long these last, as they have a tendency to not last as long as the other do. So, I may end up with others at some point, if the weather stays to hot, since I do not bleach or wash mine. Why, may you ask? Well, I like to offer my pumpkins up to the wildlife when they rot, and if I use that famous online Tik-Tok pumpkin wash that uses soap and bleach, it will make all the deer, raccoons, squirrels etc. sick and possible kill them. So, while I understand why people do it, I personal think it is wasteful since you cannot not put them out into the environment safely afterward. So just take that as food for thought, as you are bleach washing your pumpkins my friends. I do however recommend the mum watering technique, which shows watering from the bottom or keeping them in a large bucket without drain holes so they can drink from below. This fall hack actually works and preserves your mum’s longer. So that Tik-Tok is worth a watch and does work as I did this trick last year for the giant red mum’s. Another decorating tip I use a lot is stacking, and I love to do this with multiple colors of pumpkins. As seen above I have used a painted metal pumpkin and live white Cinderella style pumpkin. I also filled these oversized lanterns with a mix of white, lavender and aubergine mini pumpkins to pull the color story together.

Which brings me to another tip, don’t get stuck on all your pumpkins being real. You can mix and match live and faux pumpkins like I have done. In fact, I use the metal pumpkins every year and they have changed color numerous times; these pumpkins have been silver, green, and copper just to name a few colors. I also love to use unexpected Halloween decor, which is unexpected just to start and set the mood. This vintage milk jug has a hidden jack o lantern face, but you have to be looking for it to see it. As for my door decor I kept it simple at the moment, just a basic wooden pumpkin welcoming the season, in a vintage white color. It matches the home more than the decor or the purple, but it still works nicely for the season in an unstated chic way

This year on top of the Flying Purple People Eater I also may have been inspired for a front porch mortuary theme after spending hours watching the queens funeral. I just had to go out a find myself a casket and I did!I know many of you that follow my blog have already seen the purple pumpkin themed porch I set a few weeks ago, which I did with this end game in mind. Just add in a few ravens, toss a casket on the porch and voila instant mortuary. Visitation hours on October 31 5-9 pm to pay your respects.I posh purple mortuary theme porch. Yes it is a bit over the top but it is Halloween! The casket is complete with a shrouded skelton inside holding a dried rose bouquet I made years ago and just decided to toss inside for a full effect. Who knows on all hallows eve it might contain a live person to scare the trick or treater’s with a spirit that has come back from beyond, or maybe it will just be our massive candy bowl of full size retro treats! I will say I have been asked already by several of my neighbors, where on earth I plan on storing it after Halloween. Which I have all planned out as well; of I would have never dreamed of purchasing it to begin with, you see I have to at least have 5 ways of using it before I will invest in an item. Since it is completely hollow this will also double as my new storage container for all of my Halloween decor. All of my decor will be stored inside and go into the season storage room instead of the usual rubbermaid container. Yep I love a multi tasker! Plus it will be pretty easy to determine what is in that box. While I am not going to disclose the other uses for future Halloweens just yet it fit the bill as we multi tasker, not a one trick pony.Since it is such a large container it will easily hold all of my new yard gravestones the one above. We opted for metal this year after last year’s styrofoam dollar store purchases got blown down the street. I might have a slight obsession with cats, dead and alive. Please know that no cats were harmed in the making of our Halloween decor however I do get a bit of side eye from them from time to time, LOL! Especially with a bowl full of cat skulls in the dining room next to spooky soup. These decoration prove you can add just little touches to everyday items to make a Halloween feel in your home without having to go overboard. Just plop a few eyeballs into your soup tureen with black tulle and spooky soup. My rat infested table is filled with all the apothecary jars you might find on a witches table. Eye of Newt, Wool or Bat or Dead Man’s Toe. You know all the things your add to make dinner just right. I stuck with your basic black and white theme from the placemats, chargers and plates. I carried over the black Southern Living plates from my Fall Feels Home Tour Table Setting, but added a fun white salad plate and layers the Beetlejuice themed charger underneath. Then I precariously mixed both silver and gold from the charger rim, and salad plate beads and goldware.

At each place setting I added a few nostalgic treats for my guests that might remind them of when we used to trick or treat as kiddos and a few new ones.Remember these, candy cigarettes, lol? As a kid I used to love these! Nowadays they are probably pretty PC incorrect, so I would never dream of handing them out, however if you are my private guest of the inner circle, you get the spoils of Gen X childhood memories! Plastic mask, candy ciggies, the works! All availablee from Amazon delivered right to your door!I also have some new finds as well like Pechkeks Misforntune Cookies. Yes these black fortune cookies will bare a horrific fortune to you upon cracking it open if you dare! They are based with dark humor like, “Thing will get sometime, maybe” or “Your ship hasn’t sailed it was delayed two lifetimes ago” LOL!
