#AtoZChallenge - Towels & Terrarium

My Theme Post

Kmart always has a great selection of towels at Halloween!  It's really hard to make a single choice, and I usually don't - LOL!

These are beautifully colored, very soft, thick & absorbent.  

So.

 These I've gotten from various craft shows that I go to each year with Mom and my sisters.

 Ooops, some basic fall ones snuck in there!

 The lighting is not doing these justice!  They're very bright orange.

I love the dancing skeletons!

For the next portion, I was inspired by a post on the HalloweenForum.
This is my Ceme-terrarium!

 I got the glass terrarium from the Salvation Army and it still had the layer of potting soil and sand art from when it had plants in it.

I cleaned it out and stacked some old Styrofoam pieces in the bottom and covered it with natural aquarium stones, then a layer of black stones.

The rest of this is fun.  I'm sure you can find this stuff a lot of places, but I got everything (except the fake plant) from the local garden nursery in the "Fairy Garden" section.

There's a shovel & lantern in the left corner, a light post and a gnome in the right corner.  There's 3 headstones, a skeleton, some colorful leaves, a fence around the back and a cat that I repainted to look like my Skeeter who crossed the Rainbow Bridge a couple years ago.  And of course the flag.

 You can also get seasonal items, like the JOLs and ghosts!

I don't have the obelisk stone in there because it doesn't stand straight on the stones, but I guess in a real cemetery, they're not always 100% straight, either. The pillar (as well as headstones & light post) all have rods on the bottom so they stand better in a garden.
