Halloween Whimsy

Here is a look at some Halloween Whimsy I have created. The photo really doesn't do it justice, but they are vintage checker pieces that have Halloween Silhouettes on them. Then I soldered around the edges so I could attach the jewelry hanger. I then added soldered pieces around the edges in black and silver polka dot 'bumps'. I really like the affect.

This vintage tray was a gift from Lisa last year. It is always up but I just change up the wording to fit my mood.....because it is a chalk board. Lisa has a shop called Lola Rue located here in Bloomington. If you are ever in town definitely check it out.....heck make a special trip over because it is that cute.

Here is a little Halloween vignette in my kitchen. This is where I do most of my decorating. Hey we are in this room the most of any. These are Poliwogs. I bought these about 1o years ago before his whole line was mass produced in Hong Kong. I hate it when this happens. These aren't originals....but I do have some of his signed pieces. They go great with my yellow ware don't you think????



Here are some more Poliwogs. I just adore them.



And this large pumpkin is my favorite one of all. Perched up top is a little witch. I just love my little Halloween vignettes. They bring me great joy. I hope you have enjoyed a little of my Halloween Whimsy. Blessings for an artfully creative day.

Hello, my friend,

I do love those Pollywogs. They are awfully cute. You know, I never had anything Halloween until last year. I just thought it was all so creepy so I started with the cute an, luckily, got a partner who liked cute for Kari's swap.

Hope, Miss Novice Solderer here things that your antique checker pieces are soooo clever. I am just gobsmacked!

I am sitting here, wrapping ribbon around Koolaid dyed antique clothespins for some Little Sister gifts. I inherited my Little Sis's sister, which is fine with my. Love doing these little surprises!!!

It won't be long!!!

Hugs,
Suz
