My son told me a while back that Frankie here was just pitifully
hideous...so of course then I felt sorry for him and had to invite him
to the party...I even gave him some marigolds to hold... :)

Isn't this fellow great?
He is a perfect vintage reproduction created by Pulp Novelties...

Mirrors (and things reflected in them!) are a recurring theme...

And mischief~making!!
My Grandpa Elisha told me that when he was a boy, they regularly
celebrated Halloween by relocating outhouses to barn roofs...
Hmmmm...

~
~
Yes, they will!

I'm always Queen for a Day, the day before Halloween!
(Actually just a couple of minutes before...
Daddy wanted to call me "Spook", but Mama wasn't having it...
~ he settled for "Scooter" later).
Thank you to some dear friends for the delicious *props* here!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a fun Halloween!

OMGOSH, Anne! I am just on visual overload. I kept going back over the images! WOW, sister! What a gorgeous, fantastic post! Thanks so much for sharing these images and that table? OH MY!!!! Love it ALL! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteAnne, yours is the first of the parties to visit. Oh, my, how could it get any better? This collection of Halloween post cards is incredible. I will want to return to read, read, read again and again. They are each one totally delightful and fun, but I think my favorite is: "If you are scared on Halloween, never start to run.Get some good strong friend to hold you when the witches come." Now isn't that sweet and romantic for such a scary holiday? ;-)
ReplyDeleteAs for the candy corn, there actually could be a shortage here if I don't keep out of the candy jar!
I just knew you would have some of those exquisite cookies. Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday!!!
Wishing you lots of treats!
I love to frame vintage postcards and include them in my Halloween decor... thanks for sharing these. Love the pumpkin cloche!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne. It is all so gorgeous. Love the candy carrier in your header and your collection of post cards are unimaginable. I have never seen so many. I love the one about seeing the reflection of who you will marry in the mirror. I have pinned and I imagine there will be a lot of that going on..Happy Halloween..Judy
