I love Pinterest. You can find me here: Birdhouse Books on Pinterest. Although I do spend time there with work (posting vintage children's books and holiday cards), I also just enjoy the vintage graphics and photos found there. Since I love Halloween and also love Pinterest, of course I enjoy finding fun Halloween pictures at Pinterest. I wanted to share a few vintage Halloween pins with you today.
Spooky Music for Spooky Occasions is a vintage children's record:
Kool-Aid ad from 1964 - great photo of children in costumes:
A die-cut Halloween owl, like you would hang on a door or a classroom wall. These were usually by Dennison or Beistle:
A 1960's vintage photo of children in Halloween costumes:
Also 1960's vintage, a little boy making popcorn ball treats:
An antique photo postcard of a witch and her cat:
A 1960's Halloween ad from Woolworth dimestore:
Brach's candy ad from 1962:
A Halloween candy cup made of plastic. I remember these from parties!
Cute vintage Halloween postcard with two children looking at a grinning Jack O'Lantern. "The goblins will catch you if you don't watch out."
Collegeville Costumes 1961 - trick or treaters in costume:
Eureka Halloween seals. I loved these little booklets as a child. Most of the ones I recall were by Dennison. The design was very similar, though:
So there you have it - a few fun Halloween images to get you in the mood for the holiday. I hope you enjoyed! I'd love to hear from you in the comments, below.
Dear Friends,
I just wanted to share some fun vintage magazine covers with you for Halloween. Calling All Girls was a retro magazine for girls. It eventually became YM magazine. It was before my Momma's time, but we both love finding images from the magazine. The reason? There was usually a dachshund on the cover! We found some great retro images to share with you here. The picture above shows a girl dressed as a skeleton with her dachshund, from 1958.
Below, from 1959, a girl decorates a Jack O' Lantern with the help of her cute dachshund.
On this 1960 cover, a dachshund helps her person dress up as a tiger.
Now I like this! The dachshund gets into dress up fun with a Halloween costume here. This cover is from 1965.
A little dachshund helps bob for apples on this Halloween cover.
I hope you've enjoyed this Halloween fun! I'd love to hear from you in the comments below. I'm looking for fun questions and topics for future Dear Abby posts.
Love and a happy weekend to you!

Happy Halloween! This Brach's candy ad is from 1965. What was your favorite Halloween treat? I loved candy corn and all the classic candy bars - Hershey's, Three Musketeers, Milky Way, etc. etc. etc. I remember the joy of coming home with a pillowcase full of candy to sort after trick or treating.
