Halloween Town

 WARNING: This post contains tons of pictures!

I inherited several pieces of a Christmas village from my parents.  Big houses that light up and little villagers and it was cute but being a person who has to constantly change things around, I got tired of it and spray painted it white and added glitter last year.  I liked it and it gave it a whole new look. 

 

 But, I decided to go in a much darker direction this year and use it for Halloween. 

I painted the buildings and people black and added some yellow to the window panes to make a Halloween town.  I set it up on a black vinyl tablecloth and added some moss and orange lights.  Instead of using the white lights that came with the buildings, I pushed some of the orange lights inside to give it more of a Halloween feel.  I added my Happy Halloween wooden blocks.

It’s quite spooky with the lights out.

I love how the people and places have changed from pleasant and cheerful to frightful and eerie just with a change of color. 

My original plan was to add a graveyard and some spooky trees and really go all out but I have gotten sidetracked every time I try to start so I have decided that I will leave it as is and just add to it each year.  Unless, of course, I end up painting them again!
