This year in the back parlor, I decided to go with a skeleton theme for Halloween.




I wanted to create a not so spooky, but very sweet, Skeleton Family.




 We even have some skeleton rats scurrying about.




I had fun dressing each family member in vintage fashion.




The Mother skeleton is wearing a  fur cape that I recently thrifted as well a vintage pink feathery hat.




The baby skeleton is dressed in an antique baby christening gown and bonnet trimmed with lace.




Our skeleton kitty is a new addition this year. We found him at the Dollar Store.





Our real life cats, Jeffrey and Maleficent, love the skeleton kitty for some reason. I always catch one of them, or both laying next to it.




The antique library table holds our skeleton phone, in case the family needs to make a call or two.









 Across the room, candlelight glows on the piano.





 Someone is ready to play a lively Halloween tune for our family.




 The piano top is elegantly decorated with black skulls donning gorgeous French crowns.




Each crown is unique and beautiful.




Lit candles provide a eerily beautiful ambience.








Our skeleton friend is quite the musician.




Each year I add a fun mask to my painting. Spooky elegance.





Thank you for touring our Skeleton Parlor this year. More Halloween posts to come.
