What's This


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!
Janice

  1. 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.

    1. Yes it was. Even bought it from a dealer which makes no sense to me. Guess she did not know the value. Janice

    1. 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

  4. Hi Janice,
    You 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~

    1. 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

  7. WOW< 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!

    My 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!
