Decorating for Halloween

This is the tag-archive page for 'decorating for Halloween' on the blog Between Naps on the Porch, assembling five Halloween-related posts published between 2009 and 2012. The entries focus almost entirely on Halloween tablescapes and porch/fall decorating, with one recipe item (spider cupcakes). Each entry is a teaser excerpt linking to the full post, so the page works as an index of the blog's Halloween decorating and tablescaping content rather than a single party plan. Posts listed include: 'Two Whimsical Halloween Tablescapes' (2012, 217th Tablescape Thursday), 'Halloween Tablescape with Spider Cupcakes' (2012, 216th Tablescape Thursday, table called 'The Witching Hour'), 'Elegant & Eerie Halloween Tablescape' (2012, 215th Tablescape Thursday, spooky table by friend Bonnie), 'Decorating the Screened Porch for Fall & Halloween' (2012, 193rd Metamorphosis Monday), and 'Decorating the Porch for Halloween' (2009, 39th Metamorphosis Monday). The blog runs recurring link parties: 'Tablescape Thursday' and 'Metamorphosis Monday'. The term 'The Witching Hour' was first used in Washington Irving's short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, to signify midnight. The author notes Halloween has changed since her childhood: back then you couldn't start trick-or-treating until dark and children stayed out late, while now kids arrive early. The screened-in porch is described by the author as her favorite 'room' in the house.
