A Vintage Halloween . . .

Happy Halloween!
Sharing a little vintage Halloween decor around the house . . .


This year I gathered up some old frames and put together a vintage vignette on the mantel . . . quick and easy to do with things you already have.

In the center, a very old jack-o-lantern from an estate 

[one of my hubby's favorites]

 Some old, title/color appropriate, books . . .

"John Brown's Body" {first edition printing 1928}, 

"The Opposite of Fate" {orange, but not old}, 

"Helbeck of Bannisdale"1898, and a black, old and torn, 

"Webster's Common School Dictionary"1892, from my husband's family

A vintage black cat from my husband's mother

and a vintage jack-o-lantern pumpkin, also from his mother

An old, large biscuit tin with a pretty fall scene on our TV cabinet

A vintage jack-o-lantern lamp shade . . .

for any children who might come for a visit

And, a light up jack-o-lantern to greet any trick-or-treaters

Wishing you a fun and safe holiday with your family.
