Carol's Handmade Witch Garden Lamp
Built Every September In Her Salem Garage — 36 Halloweens In A Row
Carol Putnam, 64, retired craft teacher, Salem Massachusetts. The woman whose front garden neighbors have been stopping to photograph since 1988.
"I taught kids for thirty-one years that what you make with your hands is always better than what you buy off a shelf. I still believe that. These are the last things I'll make."
— Carol Putnam, Salem, MassachusettsPurple, green, orange, yellow — the full Halloween effect. Carol's most-requested shape and color every year. The one strangers pull over to photograph.
Classic and elegant — glows like real candlelight. Cozy and understated, works all the way through November.
The witch's lantern silhouette with the full rainbow cascade. Great for porches and entryways where a different shape makes the display.
The bubbling cauldron — Carol's original design from 1988. 50 LEDs cascading from the rim. The one that started everything.
50 LEDs drape from the shape to the ground — not a handful sprinkled around, but a full curtain of color. The effect at dusk is what photos fail to capture.
Carol grew up where American witch history is oldest and deepest. The silhouettes she's used since 1988 — watering can, lantern, cauldron — read from the street in the dark.
Push it in with your boot. No tools, no anchor kit, no manual. "I put it up myself without any help" is the sentence she hears every October from her neighbors.
3×AA batteries. No extension cord snaking across the lawn. Put it exactly where it looks best — not where the nearest outlet allows.
80 cm / 31.5 inches on the stake. Visible from the road. Makes a real statement without being overbearing.
Looks complete solo. Looks completely different as a pair lining a walkway. Mix a Cauldron with a Lantern — every combination works.
"I taught arts and crafts for thirty-one years. I know what makes a decoration last more than one season — it's the quality of the materials and whether the light works with the shape. This gets both right. The cascade effect is genuinely beautiful, and I'd have been proud to show it in any classroom."
Carol Putnam · Retired craft teacher, Horace Mann Elementary · Salem, Massachusetts · 31 years in the classroom- 50 LEDs — not 10 that look sparse. The full cascade effect requires density. A curtain of color from the shape to the ground is what creates the effect people stop their cars to look at.
- Made by one person in Salem. Carol has been doing this since 1988. This is the first time anyone outside her neighborhood could order one.
- No cord across the lawn. Battery-powered, goes exactly where you want it — not where the extension cord reaches.
- 274 total — then no more. She built this run over last winter. No restock, no 2025 batch. What's here is what exists.
Put her in the garden and live with her for a season. If she doesn't belong there, send her back within 30 days for a full refund. One email, no questions asked.
The light cascade drapes naturally — it won't fan out in a perfect circle on its own. A quick 30-second arrangement after placing the stake makes a real difference. Worth the thirty seconds.

The Final Series
Message from the studio:
After forty-six years painting the Blue Ridge mountains from her window, a small stroke this past winter took the steady hand Eleanor Voss needs for the fine detail. She finished her three 2027 series — the American landscapes, the French villages, and the twelve famous-painting cats — in the last weeks the line still held. Every month is printed from an original oil painting. When these are gone, there is no reprint and no 2028.
