Happy Halloween VBF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy VBF!!!!!!! ....and Happy Halloween.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a little behind on the VBF post but I think it's well worth it I had to share my favorite vintage Halloween goodies.

This is my absoulute fav. vintage witch hat.  I stewed and stewed over buying it when I found it but just couldn't resist.  It's an old prop from a play...handmade in all it's vintage glory. So I went back to the vendor and bought it....I grinned and giggled all the way home from the flea market.  You know that grin, the. " I can't believe I found the coolest thing, at the fleamarket", grin?

......another totally cool vintage halloween witchy item is this great  witch's shoe. I like to think that she lost it as she flew off at midnight on her broom before turning back into a pumpkin.

.....my other two black vintage witchy items are my prized vintage ledger book and a Victorian era black cape. Black beads and lace embellish this beautiful embossed cape.  Have a wonderful Halloween weekend and a fabulous VBF!!!!!!!!!!!

Tarnished?

So here we are on another VBF (and for those of you that don't know the lingo.....check out Jill's hilarious post, that's Vintage Black Friday) I decided to pay tribute to patina. Black tarnished hotel silver is soooo yummy. Worn, time tested, patina is what gives all vintage lovelies character and substance. So, an ode to tarnish! Embrace the wear and know it's just a sign that something has been loved and handled over time. Could it have been polished and nurtured by someone famous or of historic importace? Did your great grandmother's mother drink her 4 o'clock tea while relaxing in the garden from it? Think about it.... Happy VBF!
