Hello my little Pretties! This post is entirely for fun and really a last minute thing to share. But I’m absolutely in love with my Double Double Toil and Trouble Halloween mantel, and I thought it would be fun to share with all of you.
I have three favorite things about this Double Double Toil and Trouble Halloween Mantel.
1. I love it when my candles are lit and turned on in the evening. It’s so dramatic.
2. The only thing I purchased “new” for it was the vintage witch poster.
3. Everything else (other than the pumpkins) I shopped the house or our yard for. Which totally made it so much better.
This poster (which was a digital download from here) of witches cooking was the perfect image to go along with MacBeth’s famous quote of:
“Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.”
Obviously, I shortened the quote for my chalkboard art. But you get the idea!
Doesn’t this quote go perfectly with the witches cooking in the vintage poster?
I wrote the chalkboard out myself. Not sure if it’s all proportioned out correctly, but hopefully it makes a statement. I’ve always loved Lolly Jane’s printable version of this quote and how they styled it. So basically I mimicked their layout of the words on my chalkboard sign. So head to their blog if you want a printable version of this quote. It’s perfect for Halloween!
As for this Double Double Toil and Trouble Halloween Mantel is everything I love into one vignette. Most things on here were thrifted, made by me, or shopped for around my house. That is always a win in my book! Our fireplace for now is a non-working fireplace, so having candles in it is the next best thing to having a fire going inside. Hope you all enjoyed it! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
