Happy Halloween

It's time for Show and Tell Friday. If you would like to participate, drop over to Kelli's at There's No Place Like Home.

Photobucket



Guess what! I've been booed - twice. The first time by Peggy at Hidden Haven Homestead and the second time by Storyteller at Small Reflections. Thanks for the Halloween fun, Ladies. The rules say I'm supposed to pass this on, but as it's already Halloween, I'll just offer this to anyone who hasn't been booed yet.

In honor of trick or treating, I am going to show you a few postcards from my collection. I hope you enjoy.



I hope you enjoyed my display for Show & Tell this week.

I would like to present each of my friends and readers with a little Halloween treat. Please accept the Halloween button that I made below and you are also welcome to choose one of the postcards. Enjoy!




Be sure to take a few minutes to stop by and visit my friend, Pea at Pea's Corner. She is having a Halloween Bash and her parties are the BEST.

I hope you all have a great Halloween. Whether you are handing out treats at the door, taking your kids trick or treating or going to a costume party, stay alert and be safe. ~Blessings, Mary~

    Mary,

    Such beautiful cards. Thanks for offering to share one. You didn't leave us an easy choice since they are all cool. lol I like the fairies. I like the veggie people too.
    haha.

    Like I said on my blog, I've been driving around for 3 days trying to find Halloween decorations/displays so that I can get good pics - they just aren't here this year. (Elections!) Maybe I'm going to the wrong neighborhoods. Oh well, the kids will be out tonight and I'm sure some excitement will be going on in Marietta Square.

    Mary
    Your postcards are adorable. Wow, your apartment looks like a different place. I clean the tile floors in our bathrooms with lime away but if you chose to do that, be sure to wear gloves. I get on my hands and knees and scrub wit a brush until I got a scum buster now I use it. When I stand upright, the floors sprakle so it is worth it. Peace

    Thanks, Mary! I took the one of the witch with the black cat. I'm coming back over soon to catch up. It was very warm today after a cool start. I think it probably reached the mid 70s but it began to cool off again about 3:30 and I decided to turn the heat up. I had been keeping it at 66 in the daytime and 64 at night. Well it just isn't warm enough to motivate me to do anything.
    Honey Bear will be here soon, the goodies are by the door.
    I'm making a pot of potato soup this weekend with some cornbread muffins.

    Happy Halloween dear Mary:-) I'm so glad you were able to come to my party...it's still going on strong, so it's party all night long! hehe

    The vintage postcards are so gorgeous...I love the pictures from that era. One day when we get together again, you must show me your postcard collection:-)

    Cute cards you have, Mary! And thank you for the Halloween button and choice of a card. Naturally, I chose the one with the black kitty cat on it. I know I'm late for Halloween, but I'll still place it on my sidebar, thanking you! Looks like I missed Pea's party, too. I hope to work my way down to her blog later tonight....I try so hard to keep caught up, but there's just not enough time in a day for me anymore. But I'm not a quitter...especially when I love blogging as much as I do!!! LOL
