Vintage Candy Baskets

 

I don't know about ya'll,

but I love vintage Halloween.

I found these old school candy baskets at two different thrift stores for $1 each.

I saw the one that says "Treat" on it, at an Antique Store going for $28, and I saw another one going for even more! -Not sure why they are so pricey.

It's funny, back in the day, it was probably .60 cents..

I just like thinking about how much candy these two baskets have seen.

 



Fashion find Friday

I went to my local Salvation Army, couldn't find anything, felt like I was in a slump...

Then I walked over to shoes, and found brand new black wedges by Katie and Kelly.

I don't think the color black really looks good on my feet, so I passed by them.

Walked out to my car....

.....sat there.

.....then walked back inside and grabbed them for only $3.99.

I just had that feeling, the feeling where you should get it, even though you have no idea why.

So when I bought them, I brought them home, and fell in love with them!

They look so good paired with black skinny jeans, and a long coat.

 

Online Katie and Kelly wedges are around $50

I only got mine for $3.99.

I think that is a pretty good thrifty find!



Vintage noise makers

 

 I was digging through boxes at a local Flea Market and came across an old noise maker, it reminded me of this one my mum recently gave me. Turns out they are both from Kirchhof Newark, NJ. It's a company that started in 1852 to date. They made/make small toys, noise makers, Christmas ornaments and novelties.

I grabbed the little clown maker, along with a few other goodies I found (which I will post).

And asked how much.

Guess how much this Vintage Clown Maker was?

5 cents.

That's it.

I felt like I was stealing it!

Nothing in this world is 5 cents anymore...

 

This noise maker below came from an Antique Shop outside of Portland, Maine.

My mum and I went there earlier this year, and went to a few antique shops. I believe it was originally $16 but it was 50% off, so I told her to grab it. One day it will be worth something, and for now, it's just nice to have as a decoration.

She ended up giving it to me, since I don't have much Halloween stuff.

I love it.



And as of now, the clown and witch are hanging out together.

They are a perfect match for each other.



Here are some vintage noise makers found on Etsy.

A little change

 

First find was found this past Saturday at a yard sale.

They had $5 on it, but it was later in the day, so I asked for $3, and got it!

They had a whole bunch of different posters; Tomatoes, Corn, Beans, Sunflowers, and Mushrooms (which I later saw a guy selling on Sunday at a Flea Market for $15).  

When I brought it home, I just fell in love with it, it's perfect for this time of the year.

..... the only problem I had was I didn't care for the color of the frame.

So I went to a Local Hardware store, and bought Valspar Primer + Paint in the color 'Copper'.

Spray painted it, within an hour it was dry.

 

 

And the after results put a pretty nice smile on my face.

It looks good paired with some pumpkins, and vintage antlers.

Keeping it simple.
