Ask And You Shall Receive...... Blogoween Day 20....

     Hello vintage lovers!! If you remember in my post about my blowmold collection I said there was one more but I couldn't find it. Well..... I didn't find that specific one but I did find this one at a benefit yard sale for $2!! I was happy to have it back, maybe one day I will find my original but till then this one looks just as good. Last pic is my "complete" collection for now.  By the way we are on day 20 of blogoween, I know haven't been posting everyday but I have been doing better than normal! I have a couple more halloween related posts that should be up before the 31st!! 

 

Sarah Coventry Costume Jewelry Pins-Yard Sale Find

     Hello vintage lovers!! Found these sarah Coventry pins at a yard sale this past weekend. They were $3 a peice and the big flower one that I was super excited about is missing a stone. So not too super happy about my purchases now but they will look nice in my collection.

 

1973 Looney Tunes Cups-Yard Sale Find

     Hello vintage lovers!! Found these cool 1973 looney tunes promotional glasses I believe you could get them through Hardees. Thought I found the whole set but I was wrong there is like 17 or 18 I only have 7.... But I only paid $1 a piece for them so if I need to resale them I can make a little profit on them! 

 

Beistle Halloween Decorama Set 1979-Found at Salvation Army-Blogoween Day 9

     Hello vintage lovers!! Today we are taking a look at this beistle halloween paper decor set I found at the salvation army for .79! I have the complete set that was printed in 1979 the skeleton, the cat, the skull, the witch and the pumpkin have different dates on them but I am sure that is their copy right date. I was excited to find these cause I never find the paper decor, well any decor for Halloween is hard to find. It was awesome that the whole set was still there and no one had lost any yet! I only have a couple other paper decor pieces that was found a few years ago but of course I am going to do a post on those as well! 

 

It's Never Too Early For Christmas Decorations So It's.... Christmas in October!! and Day 7 of Blogoween!!

     Hello vintage lovers!! Yard sales and goodwill did not disappoint, I found some goodies to decorate with for this coming up Christmas season. I love the very vintage shiny brite boxes of small ornaments they were only .10 a piece (update..... My son got to these and broke a few of the balls, I am so sad but atleast the boxes are able to be used still, this is the life I lead.... Can't have anything around this house). 

     The bigger box is all pink bulbs with one diamond bulb it was $2. The last item came from a benefit yard sale I only paid $1 for all 6 of these celluloid angels, they look to be for floral arrangements and two of them are broke but for $1 I'll find something to do with them. 

 

Yard Sale Find.... Lots of Sarah Coventry Jewelry!!

      Hello vintage lovers!! Went to a few yard sales this past weekend and lucked out at one with jewelry. I found out through my research that it seems to all be Sarah Conventry Jewelry. The two pairs of earrings was .75 a pair. The bracelet that is my favorite piece I got was 1.50 I wore it the rest of the day. Lastly the rose pin and earrings set was 1.50 too. I love vintage jewelry, when I display it the sparkly the better but for everyday wear I like the more subtle pieces. 

My Halloween/Thanksgiving Gurley Candle Collection.... Day 3 of Blogoween...

     Hello vintage lovers!! It is day 3 of blogoween on this page so I thought why not show you my Halloween/Thanksgiving gurley candle collection. I found these at an estate sale summer of 2019, I sure there is a post with them in it. I could not believe my luck finding these in old office supply boxes, obviously that is why they were still there..... I only paid $2 per box so I got an awesome deal!! I love them all but if I had to pick a fav it would be the witch! 

 

Salvation Army Find..... 30+ Cookie Cutters for under $4!!

     Hello vintage lovers!! Had a good trip to the salvation army earlier this week. Found 3 bags of vintage cookie cutters for 1.89, .79 and .79, so for less than $4 I got all of these awesome cutters. The first pic is a set of cookie cutters from 1956 with popular cartoon chaacters this set is only missing the tom head (I was dissapointed that it was not in the bags but atleast I got the other ones! There was a few that were not vintage in the bags so I put them in a small bag to be redonated. Glad I found all of these to add to my other ones that I already have. 

 

A Look At My Halloween Blow Mold Collection.... Day One of Blogoween....

     Hello vintage lovers!! Or should I say Happy First Of October, it is now officially as the kids call it these days the beginning of spooky season! I am going to attempt to do blogoween (posts up till halloween but they won't all be halloween posts). I do not have a lot of vintage Halloween decor items but I do have a few blow molds interestingly enough I only have two Christmas blow molds but 5 (I say 5 because I know there is another one somewhere but that will be later in the post). Guess smaller Halloween blow molds are easier to find then Christmas ones.

     On the first shelf is the blinky flashlight (had two of these too but of course can only find one, wish I could be more organized) he was a goodwill find for .99. Also on that shelf is a late 60s cat with pumpkin this one was purchased at goodwill too for 1.99. The one on the middle shelf is a pumpkin on a black pedestal, I thought he came with a hat or something but in all the pics I found of him this is how he looked, he was a goodwill find as well for 1.99 also from the 60s. The last shelf is my pumpkin man (my favorite) that I got at a yard sale for .75 and the early 60s late 50s black cat with pumpkin that says trick on one side and treat on the other also a yard sale find but this one was $2. 

     It took me years to find all of these blow molds, they aren't easy to find but vintage Halloween of any kind is hard to find. Now let's get into the story of my missing blow mold. Okay, I know for a fact I have a hay with pumpkin on top wearing a witch hat. It was one of the first blow molds I purchased EVER so you know I would remember that!! I got it at a yard sale for $1 and was so excited!! But I can not find it anywhere and my husband says he does not know, so I am sad to lose it but what can you do?? At least I have these guys and hopefully over time my collection of vintage Halloween will grow like my Christmas but we shall see...
