A starry autumn canopy crowns the heavens of American Harvest.
Our Wistful Witch now appears in the Russian window surround.
No Haunted Mansion would be complete without a Ghostly Mannequin adorned in her finest crown and robe. A candelabra mysteriously floats in the antique oval frame.
Elegant creations by Donna O'Brien are served at the Haunted Mansion's banquet table.
Sandy, Sharon, Pam and Elizabeth show off their Halloween hats and crowns. Sandy made her crown from an American Harvest bag, isn't she the clever one? Elizabeth's quilting expertise came in handy as she created her wizard's hat. Notice that Pam's hat is invisible!!! Spoooooky!!!
Karla models her award winning Halloween millinery. She is both stylish and hysterically funny.
Family portraits hang on the antique picket fence. Do you recognize any of your relatives?
Costumed beauties by Ingrid entice guests of the Haunted Mansion.
Autumn dolls by Jackie welcome the fall season.
Antique gates beckon Trick or Treaters of all ages.
Colleen, Iva, Sharon, Ingrid, Lucille and Ulla sharing laughter and friendship.
Jan and our sweet daughter-in-law, Sarah, welcome customers with spirited smiles. Jan made her crown with vintage flowers and antique rhinestone buttons. Her crown proudly proclaims her title as "Witch Jan".
A Nicol Sayre original doll sits atop a vintage silver platter observing the ghoulish festivities at American Harvest.
We wish everyone a Happy Halloween!!!

I've been busy creating witches of my own. I can't seem to move on to something else. And now I'm only inspired to make more.
The Wistful Witch is too perfect! Thanks for sharing all these wonderful photos.

What a 'spooktacular' haunted mansion! Wish I were there. Seeing the pictures makes me want to start decorating for fall! Only problem, still in the high 90's here! Such dreadful weather I would say! Thank for sharing your great photos of your all inspiring store!

Such a stunning Haunted Mansion and party you and Roger created and what fun to see everyone sporting their Halloween hats. The one Karla dons is especially unique and whimsical! And Ulla's crack me up.
Can I tell you something else that makes me happy? Seeing a photo of Iva with a smile on her face. What a beautiful person! Surrounded with love.

Sharon and Roger- everything looks spectacular- no surprise. I'm already looking forward to next year when I will actually be able to attend. I'm 0 for 2. Sick last year and schedule conflicts this year- sheesh! Don't give up me- LOL!!
