All Together Dead Event 2011 Barn Decor continued

More of the inside of the barn. Our "Creatures" hung from the loft and added that spooky atmosphere. Good thing I sent out "Creature Survival Kits" to our guests ahead of time. I loved the soft spider webs I found for $.69 each.. they made GREAT table centers for each table. Then I used mix and match candlesticks on each one. Actually, I used a lot of Party Lite Brass candle holders that didn't sell at our Barn sale this summer and spray painted them all with black paint... well.. I know... way expensive, but they were going to go to charity anyways and this way I found a way to re purpose.





another view of the "ghost" before the tables were in place.



The Ghoul Gift Tent right outside of the Barn.


The drive was lit by candles ... next year they will be swamp jars inspired by Pumpkinrot.

The small cemetery on the right of the drive as guests came in heading back to the barn.

All Together Dead Event 2011 Barn Decor

This is our first event at the new house. We have a new space (10 stall barn) that we were able to utilize into a party space. After lots of work it turned out pretty good. When you walked into the door to the left you were greeted by a coffin and a few shelves with some potion bottles on them. I love these shelves from our "Season of the Witch" event a couple of years ago.

Next to the Shelves was the "Dead Man's Chest" filled with all of the different beers.

And next to the chest was our makeshift bar area... previously known as one of my work shop shelves.


and our Beverage Reaper watched over our the water and soda area all night long.

The view down the center of the barn. We walled off the stalls (empty barn by the way, needs redone, no animals in here other than the barn owl normally).

24 feet of tables on the right reserved for food, round tables down the left for guests. The white fabric above is that 20 foot ghost I blogged about a while back, he is facing the rear of the barn to greet guests coming in from the fire pit out back...


and the ghost view from the rear

The view to the right as you came in were a few more tables, and our DJ tucked away in the corner next to the giant reaper scarecrow that hid our Voting "BOO"th.

"...and so it is printed"

A sneak peek at page one of our Dark Holiday invites this year... I am so tickled at the way these turned out. I am feeling a lot better about the move last year now, and canceling our event with these invites because I spent the last few weeks coming back and tweaking things a bit. This little 8 page booklet will compliment some other items nicely... an idea I borrowed from another blogger friend and then tweaked it to make it All Together Dead worthy....until next time all my little Skelly Friends....

Meet Aldwyn

Isn't he handsome... he has taken up residence on top of the china cabinet next to a Magic Book. A fine wise edition he is to my collection.

The entire shelf put together....

An absolutely adorable cute felt bat.

Trick or Treat anyone?
