Happy Halloween ~

 

Happy Halloween, friends.  Another month bites the dust.  If you are a longtime reader, you may want to skip this post . . . or if you have CRS like I do, keep on reading 😁  Once again showing my Halloween decorations.  They are pretty much the same with only a couple new things.

My dining room cupboard.

The two little hard plastic decorations were bought at the same antique mall, though on different occasions from different dealers.

This papier mache pumpkin with wings was purchased at the antique mall yesterday.  Not old . . . and he'd make a fun hooked rug.

Fun skelly hooked rug purchased on eBay many years ago.

I've had the ceramic pumpkin since childhood.  The little scarecrow is one of my favorite pieces . . . painted by my mom.

Sweet mohair Halloween bear.

All the ceramic items were painted by my mom 💓

My painting skills are very limited, but in 2005 I was on a gourd painting kick.

Though there are almost no kids in the neighborhood, this evening I may welcome as many as 150 trick or treaters.  The babies in strollers or in their parents arms are not denied candy, nor are the much too old kids with no costume.  I grew up in what at the time was the country, so in order to trick or treat I had to go in to town.  One time I was asked where I lived, and when I told, I was denied a treat.  Isn't that just downright mean?  Oh, and did people give apples as treats in your neck of the woods?  Oh, how I hated getting an apple . . . 😀😁😆

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Happy Halloween ~

Longtime readers have seen my Halloween decorations many times before, but still want to share for those of you who might be new. 

On the middle shelf all the papier mache items are vintage.

Vintage tin noisemakers.

I've had the ceramic pumpkin as long as I can remember.  The little pumpkin was painted by son "Billy" in 1987 at 8 years of age.  The adorable scarecrow is one of my favorite pieces painted by my dear mom.

The samplers are all reproductions I stitched back in the 80's.

I painted the gourds in 2007.

Mostly stuff painted by my mom :)

Feather tree.

Fun rug purchased on eBay.

Isn't he just the sweetest?  A mohair creation from The Beary Patch purchased a few months ago.

I just love that sweet face.

I'm hoping the rains stop by this evening for Trick-or-Treat.  I sure don't need 250 pieces of candy left in my house!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)

Antique bear #4 has come to live on King Ave.  He is the MUCH loved guy sitting in the front.

 

 

Don't you just love that face?

 

I also found this paper mache jack o'lantern a couple weeks ago, complete with the paper insert.  He will join the rest of my mache jacks next Halloween season.  He's a bit sinister looking, don't you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I have a few finishes to show you in my next post.

Pug hugs :)
