I've been pretty happy with my flickering electric lanterns that I made this year. They are simple five dollar gas lanterns from Wal-Mart that were converted to use an electric light bulb, with a fluorescent light starter wired in-line on the power cord to give it that flickering look. I never liked the flicker bulbs that can be bought because they are never bright enough. In these lanterns I usually use a 4 or 7 watt light bulb that is much brighter.

It Was a Good Day
Picked up a few Halloween related items at different stores today, and received my package from the Pumpkin Hollow Etsy Shop which was awesome (I'll post some pictures of that later!)...

Trick or Treat Doormat, which might stay out on our front porch year round.

Two candle lanterns, some skeleton garland, and some little gargoyles. I have always been a big fan of gargoyles, so I had to have these.

I couldn't pass up this "Mummy Cat" either...
I doubt if any of the stuff in the middle picture will be used in my display, but it will look neat around the house and workshop.
