Halloween at my friend Ginny's store is a holiday her customers wait with great anticipation. I hear all the time that no one does Halloween like her. It's her favorite holiday dwarfing Christmas. If you enjoy having the unusual then this is the place to get it.
If you're not familiar with the look of primitive then this may be foreign to you.
I know for me the look took me by surprise at first but I soon learned to really loved it.
I'm never one to like the decorations at the big retail stores. They can be fun but a little cheesy.
Her quest thru the year is to find pieces made by artisians who's look is Early American or vintage Halloween from the early-mid 20th c.
Dollhouse adored with Debbee Thibault's paper mache dolls holding lanterns...sitting on pumpkins....and just doing what ghouls do!!!
Exaggerated pointy witches shoes adds to the fun.
Ginny and her daughter Jen spend days setting up for the Open House that she has put on for the past 15 yrs.
Scarecrow by primitive artist Nettie LaCroix
A bit of Thanksgiving decorations for after Halloween when the witches, brooms and bones are put away. The time we give thanks for all we have and eat a big Turkey.....or in my case
This is the doll that Ginny made herself. I just loved her!!!
She's looking up at the owl in the tree.
Why me Why me???? she cries
A copy of the witch trials in Salem, Mass. in 1692 where they were burned at the stake.
A tombstone in the corner and lantern and broom by her side.
She made her too. Isn't she cool? My friend Barbara got to take her home! She emailed me and said she was really happy she got her.
I wonder what she sees in those cards???....fortune, love, heartache or maybe just a long and happy life. We can only hope it's good news.
Only she can see tell your future.
