Vintage Halloween, old fashioned fun
Halloween Greetings
The wonders of what can be found on the net. Perusing through the assortment of Halloween themed sites I found a retailer dedicated to reliving the holiday as it was years ago.
the Jack-o-Lantern gift basket
Part of Dragonfly Design Studio, oldfashionedhalloween.com harks back to a more innocent time. An age where young trick or treaters could knock on a stranger’s door without fear of abduction, when imagination and tradition ruled, costumes were almost exclusively rendered on loom and sewing machine.
Off to the masquerade ball
On the site oldfashionedhalloween.com you will find an assortment of classic items like antique crepe paper hats and masquerade dresses plus noisemakers.
Toys of old available to buy
There are also old school style cards to celebrate the October 31st holiday that are reproductions of the Victorian and Edwardian age.
One of many cards available
There is the blood dripping goodness of the décor catalogue that tempts with jack-o-lanterns and lights plus paper decorations and themed table settings.
Jacks hat
Back before all celebrations seemed to be dominated by commercialised rewards, there is something refreshing about the simpler black cat, pumpkin head and witches themes to be found.
With a host of spooky art works that are filled with images of terror these are the type of products to give your holidays a family friendly motif.
A charming trinket
The more disturbing and grotesque style of today is far removed from the products endorsed. Toys are carved from wood, there is even a horror stand that makes good use of the skeleton concept.
A must for the halloween feast table
Skulls, owls and macabre items attached to the supernatural like witches are also prevalent ingredients in the cauldron of days gone by.
A feline noise maker
So if your stuck this Halloween for what to do with the family, this old Fashioned Halloween may be the answer you seek.
