vintage halloween

among the dozens of collections i have is a big soft spot in my heart for vintage halloween decorations. the saying is true -- they just don't make 'em like they used to! recently i found a bunch at work and it made my DAY! some are in better shape than others, but a few are in near-mint condition. love em!

someone also found an old photo scrapbook in the basement at work and it had a bunch of halloween photos from the 50s/60s. how great are these?!

  5. I agree, these photos are great. Whenever I see an old photo I wonder about what happened to the people in them. The little boy in the first photo at the top far right looks like he could have grown up to be my junior high school teacher Mr. Kurrant (Current, the spelling escapes me). It's eerie, similar big ears and mouth placement. Not many of these kids look very happy or like the costumes were their idea. Maybe someone took too long setting up the picture.
