Hello Friends, Folk and Enchantresses
Hope your weekend finds you doing
all that is magical.
Tonight Bob and I will be going to
a Halloween party given by a friend of ours.
She will have spooky food and drinks
served by a zombie bartender.
(which is what her invitation said)
Should be fun!
It rained most of the day yesterday,
which is causing more flooding again
for folks who live along the canals
of our big river.
I decided to make chicken noodle soup last night.
For dessert I made apple caramel burritos.
It warmed us up!

Do you know what this is?
This Summer as I was looking for goodes
on our yearly antique trail here in Michigan,
I came across this old beauty.
Made from linen and hand painted.
From the 1930's and only cost me $2.00.
A real steal.
For this early Halloween witch mask.
In great condition.
It even fits my big head. LOL
With my gray hair,
all I need is a black witch hat and dress,
and voila I could become a witch of the 30's
I'll get you my pretty!
Do you collect vintage or early Halloween?
What is your favorite soup that warms you?
Early Witch Blessings To All!

Oh my but just seeing the mask makes me recall the nostalgic smell they had when put on as a child. Thanks for the memories. You did get a good steal as those are about as valuable as the old papier mache' pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteYes it was a steal! Thanks for sharing your memory of how masks smelled. I had forgot about that. Janice
DeleteThat was a steal! I collect tavern candles of all holidays, but Halloween are rare and hard to find. I treasrue the ones I have.
ReplyDeleteYes it was. Even bought it from a dealer which makes no sense to me. Guess she did not know the value. Janice
DeleteI don't collect anything anymore but that old mask gives me the creep. lol.. I lost most of my Halloween decorations in the last flood and I decided not to get any more.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at your Halloween party.
Hugs, Julia
So sorry about the flood. We had a scare this Spring and Summer about flooding. Water was so high I never even went out in our dock. Janice
DeleteHi Janice,
ReplyDeleteYou sure did score with that old mask!!! Brought to mind when I played the witch in the Wizard of Oz in HS, complete with a putty nose and a wart!! I LOVE any kind of soup and hard to pick a favorite, but would have to say that Lobster Pernod Chowder from Duke's in Seattle would top my list!!
Hope you have fun at your party!!
Halloween Hugs~

How fun to be in a play and to be the witch...would like to play that character! Yum on that soup too! Janice
DeleteCreepy!
ReplyDeleteI collect the papier mache pumpkins and tin noisemakers but haven't bought any in quite some time. Getting a little too rich for my blood :)
Yes and the pumpkins are getting reproduced so even harder to even know if you are getting an old one. I love both but do not have any for myself. Janice
Deletenot much in the vintage halloween but I did make french onion soup.
ReplyDeletecathy
Hmmmm yummy love that soup. You can make for me anytime.🥴
DeleteWow! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Krishna. It was an amazing find. Janice
DeleteWOW< that linen Witch mask is awesome!! I love it and it would be so much cooler than those plastic ones that were available in the 1950s! I bet your Halloween party was lots of fun too. Sounds like your friends go all out to make it special. I love that sort of thing!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite soup?? I have several; homemade vegetable soup, chicken corn chowder, and Brunswick stew. Add fresh cornbread with apple butter, and I am a happy camper!! LOl!
Yes especially when those plastic ones would crack and be no good. The Halloween party was pretty cool! Her house is amazing. Yum on all of those soups! Janice
DeleteDON'T DO HALLOWEEN HOWEVER GO ALL OUT FOR FALL.SPEAKING OF SOUP WE HAD SOUP AND SANDWICH DAY AT CHURCH TODAY THERE WERE 9 DIFERENT SOUPS AND IT WAS HARD TO CHOOSE BUT MY VAF IS POTATO.
ReplyDeletePotato soup sounds good too! Thanks for stopping by, but wish I knew who you were. Next time please add your name so I can thank you properly. Janice
DeleteOh my god.. I want to go to the Halloween party with the zombie waiter. : ) hope that you had a great time. I LOVE that mask. What an incredible find!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween.
The Halloween party was a success and the hostesses house... well will show in an upcoming post. Just fantastic for a Halloween 🎃 party. Janice
DeleteThis old mask reminds me of the ones that a class at school used to make every Halloween. There were some dandies too! Wonder if any of those are still around...
ReplyDeleteMaking masks in school. How fun that would be! Janice
DeleteI think you have very fun friends -- and I also think I'd like to have dinner at your house. The burritos would make a fine finish!
ReplyDeleteYes Tracy our friend is a blast. We spent most of the evening swapping ghost stories. Perfect for Halloween 🎃 Janice
DeleteYes in a way a bit creepy, but mild considering the creepy masks of today. Thanks for stopping by. Always a treat. Janice
