Spooky Greetings...




Don't you just love Vintage Halloween postcards ?


It’s always a thrill to see the little ones, dressed up and ready to head out to a thrilling evening of frights, thrills and lets not forget the piles & piles of candies that we all have to hide until.. almost Christmas, right ?

This is about as scary as I like. . . 


Bags will be overflowing with treats...  Scary stories will be told & retold at lunch with friends the next day.



My very favorite scene related to Halloween is from a wonderful  movie starring Judy Garland. 
It is “Meet Me in St. Louis “.  
When the smallest member of the family Tutti is hurt during the neighborhood festivities,  her sister, Ester ( July Garland ) is led to believe it was at the hand of the boy next door.  The fur flies , fists fly and the neighbor boy receives all her fury. (  Boy, and how.. )
Tutti, of course is stretching the truth greatly ! 
As the entire family is retelling stories of the evening and eating cake, they discover that Tutti is just that - ( A TOOT ) and now Ester has to eat just slightly more than cake -   
Can we say crow..?

  An apology is definitely in order to her new neighbor ! !


Such a cute movie- if you haven’t seen it, take a minute with your sweetie or grandkids and enjoy. Good anytime, but some great Halloween scenes 

and great family fun.








Now, for my own personal treat- I need to finish my church pew and wish myself a Happy “BOO” day.  Now for that cake. . . 

Have fun out there with your little ones. And, watch out for those Spooks ,
Ghost & Goblins :)




Isn't she scary ?



What a doll !









Till next time-     gotta run out and get some candy..

  1. My daughter and I do NOT like scary things! No way, no how!
    I have never seen "Meet Me In St.Louis". I will have to order it on Netflix. I know my daughter would enjoy it too!

    Lovely blog! I am your newest follower!

    1. Oh . . .Thanks so much Andie ! We love it when our readers leave us comments.
      I think you will like "Meet Me In St. Louis"- it is a musical and has lots of wonderful
      stars.. and unlike so many movies today- you won't have to worry about anything in
      it being offensive. And, thankfully it has a wonderful story ! Lots of beautiful costumes
      and scenery. Most of all - the thing we are drawn to is the Loving Family !
      Thanks for following along. We love new readers !

  4. Thanks Mona- You and I have such similar design taste.. how could I not recommend one of my Favorites-
    I check at least twice a week to see "whats cooking" design wise, or maybe in search of a great new recipe.
    So glad to see you and your Sister went to Round top/ Marburger.. wish I could have gone.. but maybe in
    the Spring !
    Thanks for stopping by.
