My Haunted Life

Well, it's officially Halloween.  Welcome to my last post of the season.  

I was late getting to my outside decorations (again) this year, and when I did, I was shocked to find this.

House Haunts

As is tradition, I'm posting some photos of local yard haunts I came across during garage and estate saling. I'm a little disappointed that I came across so few this year.  I went out last night and took some more around my area.  I appreciate the effort people put into making Halloween a little more spooky. Note, some of these were still under construction when I took pictures.

Spill and Spell

I apologize for the late post today. I've been embroiled in a decorating dilemma this past week (more on that later).

It's Halloween Eve and today's item is a non-Halloween item, but could certainly be used as one. And to demonstrate how my brain thinks Halloween all the time, I honestly thought it was Halloween-related or at least Halloween adjacent.

Werewolf Die Cut

Halloween draws near, just 2 more days, and this will be the last die cut of this season.

This one is from Hallmark and dates from 1981.  His fur is flocked.

"I'm Weird But I'm Loveable".  Pretty much sums me up.

White Owl Cigar Box

Today's post may stretch the Halloween category, but it's been one of those years and I use it in one of my displays, so hey, give me a break.

I picked up this White Owl cigar box this past year at a garage sale. The box was a little worse for wear, but I liked the imagery and had a Halloween display in mind.  I've situated it on top of my Æolian-Vocalion along with a vintage owl decoy and a more modern candle (plus a mini Jack O' Lantern and crow thrown in for good measure. Maybe I can do an Old Crow display some day).

Witch's Brew

The sale at Lemp Brewery provided one more Halloween-related item.  I found this ceramic witch for $1.

Lemp Brewery Autumn Painting

I had my own garage sale on Saturday this past weekend, so I couldn't go out saling as usual, however, I saw that there was a continued estate sale on Sunday at the Lemp Brewery in St. Louis and I made my way there the next day.
