Vintage Halloween ~



~ ~ ~ WELCOME ~ ~ ~  

* * * * *
I've bound my Cathy G sunflower rug and have hung it from the cupboard door.


If I was hanging it on the wall, I probably would have just used a couple small nails, but did not want to nail it to the cupboard door.  I didn't have a dowel, so I sewed a chopstick to the binding and hung it with fishing line.  I guess it works!


I've probably shown many of my Halloween decorations in years past, but for those newer followers or those like me with CRS, I will show some again.  Here are vintage tin noise makers . . .


. . . and vintage papier mache.






Thanks so much for stopping by!
Pug hugs :)

    You are, indeed, my wonderful evil twin. :o))) You don't know how big I smiled seeing your delightful Halloween collectibles....I collect the vintage noisemakers and papier mache JOL's too...of course.... (And your sunflower rug looks great and finished up....love the ingenuity of the hanging part....I always struggle with that part. Hadn't thought of chop sticks before... ;o)) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

    Oh be still my beating heart, I love halloween decor and really miss mine this year. I also collect papier mache punkins. Have you read the book Vintage Halloween Collectibles by Mark Ledenbach? It's my bible on what I still want to find and I keep it out all the time so I can constantly flip thru the pages.

    Great idea for hanging your sunflower rug. I would never have thought of using a chopstick. You are Very cleaver.

    You are way ahead of me with your Halloween decorations, mine are still in the totes. Your vintage collections are always fun to look at.
    Have a fun weekend Lauren

    Hooray for chopsticks! That's probably even better than a dowel because of the flat sides. It is keeping your sunflower hanging perfectly! Love the vintage decorations! That last guy is reeeeeeallly scary looking!

    There's nothing wrong with improvising - I don't think that I would have ever thought of using a chopstick and fishing line though. Good idea. And love all your vintage Halloween things. I remember a couple of those noise makers from when I was a kid.

    You have quite a nice collection of vintage pumpkins. Great job on the hooked sunflower and your technique to hang looks like it works well to me.

    I never tire of seeing anyone's Halloween collection, your's is simply wonderful. The lovely sunflower mat has found it's perfect location and such a clever way to hang it. There is frost on the pumpkin in Maine this morning! Have a lovely day Julie.
