The Halloween mantle is coming together! The candleholders are painted, the mouse is still silver but may change. I already had the tarnished silver frame in my stash and found some pictures at the dollar store that change as you walk by them. They had a cheap plastic frame that I cut away and then framed.
You can see the vague outline around the young mans head, as you pass him he turns into a ghoul. I bought
three of these for $1.00 each. In the same size but a better frame, these pictures at Target started at $9.99
and went higher. I saved about $27.00 on this purchase. A word to this wise on any composition or vignette you choose, try not to repeat one element too much. I love France and all things french, but to many items that say Bonjour or have the Eiffel Tower on them looks like I am trying to hard...it becomes contrived.
