This October we are keeping the Halloween decor boxed up and decorating the house in Fall Harvest theme. But in the spirit of things I thought I would share a fun project I put together last year.All the jars and vases were scored at the local GoodWill.
The labels for each jar were downloaded from Love Manor's flickr set HERE.
And the contents of each were found items from around the house.
Super cheap, super fast, super fun.
The loony scientist's secret sauces....
- Mr. Bone's vampire blood is waterdown ketchup.
- Winifred's Snake Oil is a little green and yellow food coloring (mixed in water).
- The Swamp Fog is an empty smoked glass Absolute vodka bottle. The fog is so thick it smoked the glass. :)
- The Moon Dust is a little beach sand (if only we had a wood burning fireplace for real ashes.)
- The Scrumptious Earth Worms is just a jar filled with rich potting soil.
- The Toadstool Clippings are dried mushrooms.
- The Fur of a Werewolf - puppy fur. Our (non shedding) puppy was so patient to let me continue to brush, and brush, and brush him until I had enough fur.
- Vampire Fangs - plain ol' brown rice
and the unlabeled beet colored jar holding what looks like two hearts...yup, two peeled beets in water.

Thank you for listing what you put in the jars. This looks very good.
I haven't checked your blog in a while, you are always so busy. Anyways, I know you like interiors and entertaining and such, I thought you might like this charity table setting luncheon. There will be a few more days of stuff coming and I think you and I have the same white dishes. I used them 2 years ago, there is a link. Although I didn't do a table this time I have began this years posts today and for a few more days. Peek if you are interested. There were some nice ideas.
