Christmas is red and green. Halloween is black and orange. But lately, I have been seeing more and more of an unusual color, or unusual to me, showing up in seasonal decor…for fall and even Halloween...and it is white! I am really starting to warm up to it, too! Sooo… I grabbed some great examples of white in October décor, crafts and recipes from <a href="http://confessionsofaplateaddict.blogspot.com/2013/10/please-join-me-for-scoop-89.html">The Scoop</a> this week and I am going to share them with you. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheftpLn6shvVxHwO3wF5a6Y980avQA5Hce5kSLNft1V2cbHrrhSHsuVxFFaQ4KdEN1QpQ4NLuVl3J8fDMDOlkWHXMo0oFpswhTFrk5hNqWHMzdhBM2ZiywiGNxHVvsy6zfXJIbN-OHdrTp/s1600-h/af8f774a17827c013a7491210c484b224.jpg"><img alt="af8f774a17827c013a7491210c484b22" border="0" height="604" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRJBbrpbytCpb9MdahQkWXrTpvWaXUXijEWk3dr7LdtxZAH273Rdz3UOZu6OzQWKlrK5vBpIHPnYGpDta3RIDyeUgRp9VI73MDkTnJgHcVhb6sSHfnqA8v_qe3hGamC7nCLfJPjIJhDrrE/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="af8f774a17827c013a7491210c484b22" width="604" /></a> <a href="http://tarnishedroyalty.blogspot.com/2013/10/whos-behind-mask.html">Tarnished Royalty</a> shows us how to create this fabulous pearl mask…gorgeous! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9yR-Yxs1bpWajZIYhRJxllEdhqkKpNj9Ep3xxIvkZySi8rZeLmsbpO0PlbyvvbRatIwqtnYmWVz1z3FWR9e9NJDwaLjHCeJkXtkcQIZkQj9CAkztUGC66dqXRKco2yFPkbf5nbSU9_75/s1600-h/a20f0e9a2d2ae6c83c674054c41d7bab4.jpg"><img alt="a20f0e9a2d2ae6c83c674054c41d7bab" border="0" height="772" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGNNELqlfCB617KF0qwleqpk2HIl_QvuzqNdPlAhoKKsTlO4Wlqrg4kmz-ovhja1ntJznIwlWQu3CJT2-LPo8gnu695_LeuH6IMLo_cFlPjv-YgrQzFRMixNX42_-fDumgi9wiFE1OEV7i/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="a20f0e9a2d2ae6c83c674054c41d7bab" width="515" /></a><a href="http://southernhomesweethome.blogspot.com/2013/10/decorating-for-halloween.html">Southern Home Sweet Home</a> shared her hutch filled with a few little seasonal accents scattered among her white china collection.
