Vintage Halloween, Black Cats and Gurley Candles

Yes a entire shelf of black cats for Halloween

Happy Halloween!

A miss of new and vintage Halloween


my favorite little black cat and basket I bought many years ago, actually saw one in Texas!

I love postcards, but only have a couple of Halloween ones.

Boots approves of the Black Cat theme

I also love Gurley candles.
I can remember my Grandmother had the pilgrims, and turkeys out at Christmas.
Luckily I still have hers but I also bought my first turkeys and pilgrims for my own house with Grandma many years ago.
The Halloween ones are a bit more expensive, but I have gotten some over the years.

ghost, witches and pumpkins





wish I could get them for what they say on the bottom
different prices depending on the age

Other little vintage pieces


my little witch I have had since my childhood

And I did find something new to add in Texas, and it was only $6

the metal piece with great graphics

so I wish you a Happy Halloween
So excited is on Saturday, I always volunteer to work so those that have kids can be off, but I will be handing out candy on the front porch this year!

Happy Halloween 1914 style

Even in 1914 they were celebrating Halloween.
Moonlit night, fortunes told, and a ghost!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

I remember the days of trick or treating 
in my neighborhood of my small hometown.
My next door neighbor, Lola who was like our 
Grandmother always made popcorn balls for us.
Unfortunately I have no pictures of us going.
So let us go back to my Grandmother's days.

My Grandmother sent this to her baby sister Esther


Now here is what she and Max were up to 
in 1912
100 years ago...
they were carving their Halloween pumpkins!


Happy Halloween
from my family to yours!

I just wanted to show you 100 years ago today what the pumpkins looked liked when carved by my Great Uncle Max and Great Aunt Esther


Hope your bag gets filled with lots of candy!!

Halloween Eve

Are you getting ready for Halloween?

My cousin and I were out for a drive in the county a couple weeks ago and came upon this...just needed a full moon and some darkness. The vultures scared me as it was!

One came at us as we were out in the road taking these shots....ooooohhh



We just thought it was so strange how they were all lined up on the roof. Even one is atop the TV antenna!Enjoy the day!
