Vintage Decorating for Fall

I Recently found this spooky vintage 'painting'

at my favorite thrift store for just a few dollars. 

It was nicked in a few places, so I filled those in with

furniture touch up markers. 

You would have to look very closely to find the nicks. 

Then I found these great 3-D stickers

 of a haunted house and full moon

at the craft store. 

Now the 'painting' is really spooky! 

This ceramic owl was my Mom's. 

It is vintage 60's and I remember it 

as a child. 

I have no idea how it survived a cross-country 

move, 5 children and 15 grandchildren!

You can put a candle inside and it looks really 

spooky with all the lights turned off. 

He's happy roosting on my mantel for the season. 

This vintage children's book adds a seasonal bright spot 

to the coffee table. 

It has wonderful pen and ink/watercolor illustrations. 

The Author, Dorothy Sterling (1913 - 2008) was an accomplished writer who worked for Time from 1936-1949 and was then assistant bureau chief in Life's news bureau from 1944-1949!

The illustrator, Winifred Lubell (1914- 2012)

 was also an accomplished artist and political activist

with a very long career. 

You never know what treasures you will find in your local thrift store! 

I love this simple illustration. 

The text is very informative, too. 

This page is frame worthy! 

(Although I would never deface a book!)

I have a growing collection of vintage illustrated children's books

and this one is a favorite. 

I also like to decorate with vintage postcards. 

This one is very sweet for Halloween. 

I framed two of these sweet images. 

A bit of seasonal decor in a tiny corner..... 

Above my vintage enamel top writing desk. 

A few collected treasures....

Pumpkins in a vintage tart pan. 

And black crow feathers. 

I hope you enjoyed my vintage style autumn decor, 

Dear Friends! 

Thank you for your sweet visit <3

'My Sorrow, when she's here with me, 

thinks these dark days of autumn rain

are beautiful as days can be;

she loves the bare, the withered tree;

she walks the sodden pasture lane.'
