Guest Post > Creepy House Tour

Hey Sparrows and Arrows readers! Aminah here, one of the owners of The Thrifty Gypsies.

First, I'll admit that when Jessi asked me to do a guest blog post I was a bit nervous. I don't blog and thought it'd be super hard to come up with something worth doing a blog post about. It's October and October is obviously Halloween month, so great, what about Halloween could I write about? Then it dawned on me that our house is spooky and looks like it's been decorated a little bit for Halloween all year round. From creepy early 1900's photos of people we don't know, the boxes of deer antlers to there being at least one skull in every room (not counting our skull tattoos, of course) So I thought I'd share a few creepy bits of our house with you... I promise you that none of these photos have been staged, our house is really this creepy, all the time.

Thank you for having me Jessi and Cassie!!!!!!!!

Hello Sparrows and Arrows readers, I'm Nikki from Perpetually Engaged and I love all things weddings. I find inspiration all over the place so today I thought I'd share a little Halloween/Fall wedding idea with you.

Intimate backyard weddings are becoming more and more popular these days which means you have more control over the decor, and more importantly the landscaping. Unless of course you have controlling inlaws ;) If you have the time and space, I think it would be lovely to grow your flowers over your altar. Talk about a money saver too!

If you live in a state with decent Fall weather and can still have an outdoor wedding, I love the idea of growing pumpkins up and over your altar like these ones I saw at the botanical gardens in Geneva, Switzerland. Aren't they beautiful? You can find directions on the best pumpkins for climbing here.

Thanks for having me Jessi and Cassie!
