Happy Halloween! :)

Hope you have a great Halloween,
with no tricks and lots of treats!
Here are some more vintage
Halloween illustrations!
 These first three

are from Jack and Jill

October 1972.

I believe the name of the artist is Betsey.

 This last one is from

October 1967.

The artist is Dorothy Forsyth.

I just love all these wonderful owls!

 

Bye for now!

Fall Bulletin Board

 This bulletin board is in my kitchen,

where I used to have a black board.

I loved the look of that black board, 

but I never seemed to use it.

So I took a bulletin board from my bedroom and

repainted the frame and covered it with burlap 

to match my kitchen.

 Then I dressed it up for fall.

I love it!

Bye for now!

The Camera Loves Him

 Smoke sure loves attention,

even if it means I'm taking his picture.

In fact I think he really likes it!

 Just one more shot!

Bye for now!

It's Getting Squirrelly Around Here

 Our resident squirrels are very busy right now,

eating seeds right and left.

 I just happened to notice him 

when I was peeking out my front door window.

 I wish I could have him for a pet, 

he's so cute!

 And the maple tree out front 

just gets prettier

and prettier!

Bye for now!

Thrifted Craft Book

 Here is the great 70's craft book I found

on needlepoint. 

Beside all the great project ideas,

there is lots of stitch tutorial too.

Thrift Store Finds

Found at the thrift:

this adorable little elf 

sitting on a mushroom.

Don't know if this was part of something else,

but it was made by Lefton.

 Also found these two great trivets!

Lastly I found another great 

craft book,

but I'll show that tomorrow.

Bye for now!

Bye for now!

Thrift Store Finds

 I've been finding lots of fun 

vintage clothes at the thrift.

Like this maxi skirt.

I'll shorten this before I wear it.

 

 Love this print, 

especially the kitties!

 And then there is this adorable

pinafore apron.

I will shorten this 

and make this into a jumper.

And lastly there's this skirt. 

This just needs some minor repair to the seams.

Bye for now!
