HALLOWEEN TREASURES

HALLOWEEN TREASURES 

My friend Carole loves antique collectibles and recently posted this on her Face Book page.  I so love her sense of color and coordination, of antique and new and years in between.  (Used by permission)

"It has been years since I hauled out my collection of antique Halloween pumpkins and decor. This year I just felt like it. Jerry asked who was going to see it since everyone is COVID stationary. I do it for me, I guess. Most of it came in one fell swoop when I traded a set of fancy dishes with a woman whose mother had been a grade school teacher. I think most of it is about 1930-1940. It was a great trade because we both walked away thinking we had the better deal."

          "This is the fireplace and these pumpkins are all new"

"Kitchen cabinet with the old Halloween collection. Those fluffy things are horns. Back in the day trick or treaters made a lot of noise when they came knocking."

"Spooky lanterns. The cat is unusual."

"Pretty spooky. The witch is a tambourine. The green majolica dishes are from a local antique shop."

Thank you, Carole, for sharing the Halloween days gone by. You've got our minds to thinking about costumes and candy, trick or treating, and an alternate version of wearing a mask.
