Spooky and Fabulous Exterior Decor

We’ve had the best weather this past week…perfect for getting the outside of my house all gussied up for Halloween. It’s no secret that I love Halloween and all of the scary stuff that comes along with it, but I also like to use some decorations that can stay put until Thanksgiving. For the past several years, I’ve hung giant fuzzy spiders on the front of the house. Meanwhile, I load the front porch with gourds. The spiders only hang around for the month of October, but the pumpkins stick around until Christmas decor goes up. Well, provided they don’t rot. We’re still going to have some warm days, so fingers crossed the pumpkins last another eight weeks.

Giant Spiders

Several neighbors asked where I found the giant spiders. I’m happy to report that they are an inexpensive Amazon purchase that has held up well. Through tropical storms and beating sun, they’ve stood the test of time.

To adhere the arachnids to the brick and shutters, I use clear, double sided Gorilla Tape. Every once in a while I’ll have to stick a spider leg back to the house, but not nearly as often as I anticipated.

Mandy Bullock of The Greenthumbed Ginger helps me achieve my pumpkin and planter dreams. Mandy is the owner and sole employee of her thriving little business and she is an absolute delight. A fellow Georgia peach, Mandy and I met more than a decade ago through The Junior League of Greenville. Now we’re both wives, moms and entrepreneurs with a passion for college football. Local friends, check her out for all of your container gardening needs! But act quickly as she’s booked out about a month right now.

I shared my interior Halloween decor several weeks ago on the blog; find some of those items here: https://emerybodie.com/touches-of-fall/

No room is spared in my house! Even the guest bedroom has a spooky visitor.
