Still Time for Halloween and Harvest

Hall-BannerYou know that I’ve been traipsing around Germany and generally having a fabulous adventure. Now, it is back to reality … and Halloween.

I love the fresh, crisp shades that autumn brings. I did look for vintage Halloween decorations at the Leipzig Flea Market but did not spot a thing, Of course, German Halloween production was primarily exported to the United States. So, perhaps we have it all here!
Hall0-CatAmid medical appointments at the Cleveland Clinic and preparations for our trip to Germany, I began a serious efforts to search and find long-overlooked Halloween and fall styles that had appeared in past issues of Celebrate365.CM-candy-witch

I’ve added quite a few pieces in both the “Halloween” and “Opportunities” category themes in the store.  Some are one-of-a-kind.  Others are from Bethany Lowe Designs and Bruce Elsass … long-retired and difficult to find.CC7882

One-of-a-Kind designs from Debbee Thibault, Jerry and Darla Arnold, Vergie Lightfoot,  Debra Schoch, Kristen Beason, Casey Mack

I’m amid a big box & move-it project for the installation of wood floors on the first floor. And, I also need to begin preparing for the weekend show. I think that I will have two trees plus a full table … mixing antique, vintage and contemporary items. I’m planning to concentrate on “onsies” … things that just aren’t worth the time to list them online. I have a number of signed folk art pins and things, single ornaments from my collection etc. For example, I have a huge rolling bin of “extras”that I don’t think I’ve opened since about 2005! And, I have retail merchandise that has never made it online due to my extended illness. Look for lots of bargain pricing … I seriously need to downsize both personally and business-wise. Need a full size 7 ft pre-lit tree? Got one of those stored on the third floor of Apple Tree. I’ll make you a real deal if you can haul it away on Saturday! LOL

I will be bringing things that cover all 4 seasons. In other words, 365 days of the year!  Hope to meet you in Piqua!
