Too Cool for Ghoul

I know the title of this post is cheesy, but I don't have a lot of clever stored up when it comes to Halloween so I hope you'll let it slide.  : )

These lovely etsy finds are about as close to Halloween-themed as I like to get.  The genius of course is that none of these items are actually holiday specific!  I can totally picture the Ant Vase with a giant peony bursting out of the top during the Spring... or the Poison Bottles filled with pretty little posies.  So subversive... so cool!

Very cool. I love that ant vase so much!

Vintage poison and rabbit foot, how cool!

I love this interpretation of ghoulish!!! :) You are totally right -- I really appreciate the fact that the pieces are versatile around the year. That's what I try to incorporate with my holiday decor, as I'm not a big fan of buying holiday-themed retail decor only to store or toss it away.

Wonderful finds as always! I really love those bottles...

Oh I'm a huge fan of that ant vase too and you are so right about it needing peonies. They my absolute favorite flower but ants do love them.

That ant bottle is quite interesting, I am considering picking one up.

You know, me being not a fan of Halloween at all (I just don't see the big deal about it) I would LOVE to see someone decorate their porch or house in a different halloween kinda way that does not include the obligatory giant spider and fake cobwebs. This is cool!

Those bottles with the poison label are so cute. I would love to put them out if I had a party or haunted house. Great stuff!

those bottles...i am beside myself with envy-the display possibilities are endless...(filling them with handsoap & leaving them by the sink when the mother-in-law visits...)
