Simple Halloween Memories...


It's been along time GIRLFRIENDS!!!!

Where in the world is Susie? I'm still here, I just have had more fun
with my new Etsy doll shop. It has kept me busy, that's for sure.
I have been checking out my blogroll to see what y'all are doing.
As usual you have all been so fun and inspirational.
It's time now to start blogging again.
Last night I decided to take pictures of my vintage simple Halloween decor around the house.
I love simple and tasteful decorating. To me less is more. I like to put out things that I can actually enjoy their uniqueness. Too much, and for me I don't appreciate each piece. 
Every piece has been thought out.


This display is in my entry way. I say vintage Halloween because there is nothing on this table that is newer than 10 years. I have found these pieces over the years including the magazines. 


Some of my favorites are the little Trick-or-Treaters. I got these
years ago at Joann's. They are so cute. The happy cute witch
was also a Joann's purchase years ago.


Joann's use to have some really fun Halloween tins. I haven't
seen any I like there for Halloween in the last few years.



My Halloween greeting is newer. I purchased it from the 
Tai Pan Trading Company
about 4 years ago. If you have a Tai Pan Trading Comp near you 
make sure you go it's AWESOME! Be warned to take money with you.


My hearth is the busiest part of my decorating, most of which
I have made myself some 20 years ago.


Happy Halloween and the ghosts come out every year. I made
these years ago when I was doing tole painting. I even cut the blocks and ghosts out myself.


This candelabra is the one new piece I purchased this year at Joann's. I really like it. 


This Mummy I tole painted about 20 years ago. 
He is one of my pride and joys.


I always decorate my top shelves of my bookcases for the holidays so the light will show them off. The little witch picture my daughter designed and painted for my some years ago and I always reserve a special spot for it.



I painted these little Treater's years ago and they are 
still some of  my favs.


I love cookie jars! They are just so fun when you have
kids and now they are loved by my grandchildren. I painted
Miss Witchy Poo about 25 years ago. You cannot even
get this pattern any longer to paint. 


I have saved my all time ever favorite until last.
This is my Happy Jack that is the top of a large
cookie jar. I painted him at the same time
I did Miss Witchy Poo. He was the most fun! He
just brings back so many wonderful memories for me
of my children and their friends growing up.
 Memories of happy fun Halloweens.

Vintage Garage Sale Find...

 I am not really one for garage sales. In fact I may stop by one every year or so. I'm not good at sifting through the stuff and finding something unique that I could use.
Last Saturday was different. My husband and I were driving around early morning and he stopped at a garage sale. I didn't even get out at first and then decided to just look around.



I didn't even get out at first and then decided to just look around.
I didn't find anything, but of course he did. It wasn't really organized and I don't do well with clutter. We were about to leave when my eye caught these two 8x10 framed pictures.
They were marvelous. Professionally framed and the print is on canvas! They are so me! Horse and hound! They sold them to me both for $5! I told my husband to pay the man
and I went home and hung them up!




This dog is just beautiful. Dalmatians and hounds were quite popular in paintings in the late Victorian and Edwardian era. 
He goes very well with my vintage dog collection.


Here is an example of the crackling effect use by artists to give
the vintage effect that was very popular in the Edwardian era.
These pictures are of course not actually from that era, but reproductions done beautifully.

Excellent quality. The frames alone would be expensive.


I'm now encouraged to venture out and see what other treasures  I
can find at garage sales. 

I feel like I'm on the Antiques Road Show (one of my favorite shows)!

Vintage Old British Castle Transfer Ware Collection..

It all started with this cup! I have four daughters ranging from 37 - 20 years of age. They all know I'm a vintage plate/dish addict.
 I have a whole buffet hutch dedicated to my Vintage Franciscan Apple Ware and my vintage Johnson Brother's transfer ware is displayed in my china cabinet.
Over the years I have mainly collected the vintage Friendly Village pattern of transfer ware.
I have recently branched out to Johnson Brothers Vintage Old British Castle in red.
All because of this cup below.


This cup is one, of a set of four given to me two Christmas's ago
by my youngest daughter. These cups are the only part of
my collection which is not vintage. She actually bought them at Marshall's.
The significance is not that they are transferware, but the castle that
is featured on them. It is the Ragland Castle in Wales. I have been there, it is actually my family's ancestral castle which still stands today much as it did in the 15th century.
I was able to visit this castle in 2009 with my eldest daughter. It was
such an emotional experience. When we told the guide who we were they brought out the Ragland family book and had us sign our names. Apparently the only descendant's
of the original Raglands of Ragland Castle are now in America.
I was thrilled with this thoughtful gift and promised that I would build on the collection.


Ragland Castle Mommouth Wales 2009



The first item I added is this lovely vintage JB's Old British Castle tea pot.
Circa 1930-1940


What's a teapot without the cream and Sugar bowls to go with.
Found these lovely pieces on Ebay both vintage.
You can see how well the castle is displayed on the front of the sugar bowl.



Tea can't be served without the appropriate plates to serve
the tea cakes on. As you can see that several different Old British Castles are featured as scenes on the transferware. 


The back stamp is always important in collecting authentic vintage pieces. All my pieces in this collection (other than the teacups) feature the Johnson Brother's Crown Stamp which
they used in the 30's, 40's and 50's.

  
I adore large serving pieces of  transferware. To me they
are artwork and should be displayed as such.
This is the last piece I have so far collected a beautiful
15" serving platter that I found for an extraordinary price on Ebay.


Here it is altogether


I love how it looks in my china cabinet on display!
I'm not finished yet with this collection. Only time will tell what I treasures I will be able to add.
