Our Halloween Home and Halloween Reading Corner

As soon as October arrives, I am eager to get out all of my Halloween decorations, and transform our home for fall.  So last week I packed away our everyday decor for the rest of the year, and began decorating for Halloween.  Here's a little tour of some of our decorations.

For the past few years I have been collecting some of the Yankee Candle Boney Bunch Halloween decorations, we all especially love the Bonesy Dog candle holders.

Yankee Candle also had a Boney Bunch Train this year which was perfect for my living room under my Hiawatha train print.

My other favorite thing about Halloween season is getting out all of my favorite Halloween books. I started collecting our Halloween books when Sarah and Joe were little, of course they are older teens now, but that doesn't mean we don't like bringing out all of our old favorites, and setting them out in our special Halloween book basket.  I love the art in children's literature, and always have.  Every year I continue to add new children's books to our collection whenever a new one catches my eye.

To make a cozy Halloween reading corner, find an interesting basket for all of your Halloween books, ours is shaped slightly like a cauldron, add a Halloween doll or two, and set them on a faux sheepskin rug, which you can find at Ikea for around ten dollars.

These are some of my favorite Halloween children's books, along with my Amazon affiliate links. (All purchases through these links help support April's Homemaking Blog) Some great books to add to your Halloween reading corner!
