It is time for Vintage Thingie Thursday which is hosted by Lisa at Confessions of an Apron Queen. Since is is the eve of Halloween, I decided to show you some vintage Halloween decorations that I truly love. Be sure to visit The Apron Queen's site for more vintage goodies, I can not promise they will all be Halloween related, but I can promise it will be lots of fun.*** First, let me remind you of my giveaway going on this week. If you have not entered, be sure to do so. Click HERE and leave a comment on MONDAY'S post for an entry. The contest ends Friday, October 31st. ***
Now, let me show you my cute little Halloween Lamp that I have fond memories of as a child. This was my mom's and I talked her out of it a few years ago. I think it dates back to the late 60's or early 70's. I used to love looking at this cute Jack-o-lantern man and used to envision the witches flying around and around the lamp. I really think he is cute.
I can remember thinking what a scary looking skull head and why was the cat standing on it? ~ funny how you look at things differently as an adult.
This is a cute pumpkin I purchased about 21 years ago. It is made out of an old quilt scrap. You can even see a little bit of old rust spots on the fabric. I really like this little pumpkin and use it every year.
Here is a shot of two of the pumpkins. I usually leave these out all the way up until Thanksgiving. I think they are a cheery pair.
Have a safe and Happy Halloween. I hope you enjoyed my vintage Halloween decorations. I do have an old Jack-o-lantern that holds candy that my mom gave me too, but I could not find it......I think it is tucked away in the shed in a big box....sorry. You will have to trust me, it's cute too.Have a great weekend and Happy Halloween.
my mother in law makes those quilt pumpkins! I think they are just the cutest! I think I gushed so much over them she thought I was sucking up, but no, I just think they are THAT cute!

ReplyDeleteI love your stuff.
They sure look better than mine.
Btw, I have a doggy question:
Is the pumpkin and squash of the same family? They look like twins and we love them boiled and mashed...
Sweepy,

A great Halloween blog. The cloth pumpkins are diferent, but a neat idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the second fog photo - reminds me of vacations in the Smokies. Must be something about mts. and fog!
ReplyDeleteI used to collect some old Halloween decorations - I like this one and the worn edges show it is loved.
Your moon image is awesome!
Happy Halloween
Love, love the pumpkins! I have similar ones, but they are "new" and not as cute.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen many of those in many moons. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThose patchwork pumpkins are actually really nice!
ReplyDeleteWe have a couple of those lanterns and I completely forgot to get them out this year! Next year, I'll do better.
ReplyDeleteOK, those patchwork quilted pumpkins are about the sweetest things for Halloween/Fall I've seen in a while!
I love that pumpkin lamp!
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised to see that Jack-O-Lantern lamp on your blog! I have one that is almost identical, and I too have fond memories of it from my childhood! Mine has skeletons dancing around the base instead of witches! My brothers and sisters and I named it PunCaSkel (Because of the 'punkins', Cat and Skeletons.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! Thanks!
