Happy Vintage Thingies Thursday: Halloween Edition! I have images from some vintage postcards that I find particularly creepy. Two are cards I own and the others I found online with an offer to use them for personal crafting, so I am passing on that opportunity to you. Click on the picture to enlarge and right click to save.
This Victorian woman is dragging some kind of a grid, which is tempting to the wacky pumpkin-head guy. Does anyone know what it is?
Another one of the pumpkin-head guys that totally creep me out.
Not just jack-o-lanterns, but all sorts of veggies celebrating the season. Bizarro!
Here there are some strange ghoulish faces in the background, but the creepy part is the poem at the bottom.
Hope you're all geared up for the haunted month of October. Don't forget to visit Suzanne @ ColoradoLady for all the great Vintage Thingies Thursday posts.

i love those old halloween cards!..just a bit of ghoulish fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat Halloween postcards! They're spooktacular! I've been wanting to start collecting these, but they're always too expensive. My favorite is the veggie one. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT!
A lot of people are into card collecting. You have found some really neat ones for Halloween. Thanks for visiting my place today.
ReplyDeleteCreepy is a good description. Eerie would be another!
ReplyDeleteHow do you put jump rings on a ball chain necklace?????
ReplyDeleteHalloween postcards are too expensive for me. I collected a lot of Thanksgiving postcards because they are much cheaper and I was born on Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWhat funny cards! I agree the last poem is pretty weird and look at those faces looking up at her. I'd love to know what that grid is that is being dragged around.
ReplyDeleteLove these vintage postcards.
ReplyDeleteThese are great, thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth! I know these olden cards are rather creepy, but just look at that great art on them. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Those are great. And yes, they are weird!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy a little ghoulish fun...
ReplyDeletethe vegetable card is funny looking too, no wonder no one likes veggies with faces like that! ha ha :)
Some of those pumpkin heads are quite evil looking, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteYou can keep them!
I am reading the book, over halfway through I think. Starting to believe I need some gnomes............
LOVE these!!!
ReplyDeletewow....creepy good. I was going to ask you what the victorian girl was dragging that the Pumpkin head was after.... how odd!
ReplyDeleteShivery,spooky chills. :). Love the little cards.
ReplyDeleteLove your vintage postcards!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, I especially like the veggie. I love the images on old cards but my collection is of Christmas images.
ReplyDeleteI love the last card-a ghoulish Valentine!
ReplyDeleteLove these! Thank you for sharing!

ReplyDeletelooks like a giant triscuit! ~Kari
ReplyDeleteLove the vintage spooktacular postcards!
ReplyDeleteThe first one is so cool! I worried about that grate she's dragging too. What is that thing?
ReplyDeleteI think the "grate thing" she's dragging is a pumpkin-head man TRAP.
ReplyDelete:-)
I agree...creepy! But isn't that what Halloween is all about? I think I'll stick to my old Christmas postcards. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Living it up at Lakewood,

ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and a wonderful VTT!
Oh Elizabeth! I love 'em. That woman could be dragging a giant Triscuit but my first thought was she wouldn't let go of Pumkinhead's Eggo!!
ReplyDeleteHello Elizabeth. I'm glad you enjoyed the salt cellar collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit.
I love your pumpkin head post cards. even the borrowed images. At one time I sold vintage post cards and now I wish I had kept some of the most interesting ones. Halloween ones for sure. Such is life. I agree, the last one is kind of funky. Exactly what did that mean? Who would want to be a pumpkin head? LOL. Thanks for the smiles.
Hugs, Jeanne
