Halloween is coming

One of my favorite holidays to decorate for is Halloween.  I am not really into the gory stuff but love the cute stuff.  I love the pumpkins and the cute witches.  My favorites are Charlie Brown characters dressed for Halloween.  I wait every year for the Peanuts figures to show up at CVS Pharmacy.

This weekend my daughter and I made some vintage decorations including some magnets for her locker.

They came out adorable and were super easy to make.  I bought a roll of magnet tape from Michael's.  The glass discs were from Michael's.  I found them in the florist section.  I used images from this site which I punched with a circle punch.  I easily glued the image to the glass with a Ranger glue stick which dries clear.  Here is a link to all the Halloween images.

Unfortunately my editing software is not working again today.  They updated the software recently and now my scanner does not work with it.  I checked the provider site and several people have reported the issue.  Hopefully they will fix the issue.  I apologize for the quality of these images.  Any suggestions on new free/ low cost photo editing software(with scanning ability) for MAC to use in the interim are greatly appreciated.

Today I have six images from The Shepherd Worsted Mills copyrighted 1916. There are many sweaters in the pamphlet with patterns.  I was hoping to knit one but the and the yarns are not described.   It may be hard to duplicate the gauge.  I have included one pattern.

A Few From Delineator

Clearly Vintage 245

Today I have five victorian trade cards for you.  They all are advertising starch.  Both companies were located in Buffalo NY.  Niagara starch still exists today.

Flowers for You

I was looking through my large collection of trade cards and spotted these two beautiful cards.  I love the rich colors.  They do not have any advertisements on the back.  Trade Cards were popular from the 1880's until the 1920's.   There are no dates on these.

This weeks images are from a wonderful old magazine Delineator Magazine from May 1918.  The pages are so big I had to photograph them instead of scanning, so they may not be as clear as usual.  The styles are so elegant from this era.  I just love the hats and the skirt length.

Ads from 1932

All of these are from the 1932 Good Housekeeping magazine I have been posting from.  I will have to start chewing gum every day so I can stay young looking.
