The Wonders of Halloween!!




















Happy Wednesday All!!!












If you ever read Rebecca Ramsey's blog, Wonders Never Cease, you know that everyday she has a new wonder of the world!!






Today is Wonders of the World Wednesday, hosted by Rebecca. http://rebeccasramsey.blogspot.com/ Please visit her blog, she is a fabulous writer!!












My wonder of the World today is Halloween. Surprised aren't you?






Since I have been making a lot of Halloween related art lately, I thought you might like to see what I have been doing the last couple of days. Decorating my house for the season. I have so many decorations, I start early, so that I may enjoy my decorations for awhile.













I have been collecting vintage Halloween decorations since the early 90's. An article in the Oct. 1992 issue of Country Living started it all.












I like to mix the old with the new. I tend to do that with all of my decorating. Vintage is a big influence in my artwork too!! My pieces tend to look very vintage.
I think it's a wonder that some of these old books, and decorations have survived over the years.



I hope you enjoy the Pre Halloween wonders!! These are a fraction of my decorations. I'm sure I will post more as the holiday gets closer.




Have a wonderful day, and visit Rebecca's blog!




Love,




Rosemary

  1. Rosemary, I'm a big Halloween lover. It's such a great holiday, and your artwork captures the spirit of what I like best about it--the playful, eerie, spooky fun. I love the whole season--the chill in the air, the pumpkins and gourds, the apple cider. I can't wait for Fall!

    Thanks for joining in the party! I always enjoy your blog!
