'ween spook albums

Halloween spooky-time records-


The "Witchcraft" piano record isn't really Halloween, but I love the yellow witch!

One's at the end of this Woolworth's commercial:


The mazes book in the middle has some pretty interesting images inside-

Elsie, MI Flea Market

Yesterday, I did a flea market at the Elsie, Mi Harvest Festival with my parents. Elsie is a teeny tiny country town with a giant cow statue. It's in the book "Weird Michigan".

Elsie water tower.

Elsie the cow.

Here's a few snaps of the neat stuff my dad sells.
Lobby cards, hehe pie faced!

Velvet Elvis, not guna lie..I was eying over half the stuff he had! :)

[that's him in the blue]

Projectors.
I was checking out slides for most of the time, here's a cool scene:

A killer living room!
Oh yeah, here's the clock from the last post. I couldn't get a very good picture, because my house is so dark!

It works too!

Trick or Treat!


The Brat! with everyone's worst dreaded Halloween candy- Peanut butter kisses. I have learned to love them, yum.


They're cheering for more candy!

Birthday Goodies!


Goodies from friends!

I bought the clocks myself all for about a quarter each!



After a good estate sale.. A true Brat doll! They're always missing the tongue!
Do you remember Spokey Dokeys? I got a pack of those lil babies for my bike!
That mini clock is interesting, kind of looks like a 45 with sputnik arms!



I made these cake balls to look like tiny cupcakes :)

Keep on Trekin'

I saw this poster on an estate sale listing and rushed over right away to check it out! The dude gave it to me for half price too! Score!
I know the original poster was from "The Monster Times" 1972.



I'm not sure if the one I have is original because my poster is fully orange, where the original has a white border. Anyway, it's still a sweet Mash up poster!

Rockin' Chair Gift Shop





Giant flamingo! Ahhh!


How.


Ho, Ho, Hoooo!


The inside wasn't much different from any other gift shop, & we accidentally went in while they were closing. There was a creepy statue but that's about it.

North Ho-

Well blogpals, I am back from my second grand Michigan journey of this summer. and slightly rested. Day 1, I visited a classic favorite; The Mighty Mac [Mackinaw Bridge]. and went over it to the Upper Peninsula of course!



My favorite place so far is to visit St. Ignace, which is just past the bridge. You can drive all along the lake & it's just beautiful! There are a ton of fun little gift shops & kitschy motels, but many, sadly, have been shut down.

Castle Rock is always on the top of my list. It is a sea stack or "sea chimney" made of limestone which was also said to be used as a lookout point; "Ojibway's Lookout". I've been visiting ever since I was little. I didn't climb it this time! Or else I'd have loads of pictures to share! This is also one of the many sites of a giant Paul Bunyan & Babe. Too bad it's all fenced in now!

Castle Rock also has a sweet gift shop full of Paul Bunyan gear. I am always tempted to buy storybooks. Here's a page I snapped real quick-like:



More to come-
