Vintage Halloween


Inspired by Kimberly Kwan's vintage Halloween post, I decided to share a few pictures of me as a child dressed up for Halloween. I'm in the polka dots in the first two. Man I would love to still have those hats:) As you can see from my posts the last several days, I am a *huge* fan of the holiday! Growing up, I had a neighbor that really went all out and definitely instilled the love of all things Halloween in me:) She would transform her garage into a haunted house and had a party every year. I looked forward to it all year long. It was fabulous! It took many years just to get the courage to wander through. I loved the anticipation of what lay ahead. She really made the holiday memorable, while not being gory or too scary. It was good old fashioned Halloween fun:) I always said, "I am going to be the neighborhood Hallowe'en lady!" So, here I am!
Of course I had to share a couple of my two little gouls:)
Tonight is the night
When dead leaves fly
Like witches on switches
Across the sky
And gnomes & trolls
Creep out of holes
Mossy & green
Tonight is the night
When the leaves make a sound
Like a gnome in his home
Under the ground
And elf & sprite
Flit through the night
On a moony sheen
Tonight is the night
When pumpkins stare
Through leaves & sheaves
Everywhere!
When ghoul & ghost
And goblin host
Dance round their
Queen
It's Hallowe'en
