Retro Photo: Halloween Meeeoow!

vintage halloween costume cat

Mama. almost 2.

Please notice that candy bag. I want to make one like that! A brown paper bag folded down with a twine handle! They must have been expecting quite the candy haul! And I do not know how it is possible to have a vintage pumpkin, but does that pumpkin look old school or what?! Of course, my very favorite part is that Mama is looking a little chunky…and it’s not because she was just a roly poly toddler—she has the mumps. Now look at her face again knowing it’s mumps–isn’t that hilarious?! (No offense, Mama!)

I think vintage pumpkin translates into ‘no fancy carving kits and stencils, just a kitchen knife’ – lol!

Oh, the mumps! I remember when I had them – such a chipmunk.

MomAdvice had this on her weekly notebook – http://threepumpkinslittle.squarespace.com/blog/2009/10/7/halloween-treat-bag-tutorial.html
I’m sure you could convert it to a larger grocery bag and make a cute treat bag of it!

Cute photo, and quite vintage.
The seat that the pumpkin is sitting on suggests 1970s?

That was the fattest your mom has ever been. Such a cute picture. Her cheeks were HUGE! It looks like Jason

What a great photo of your mom. I love looking at family pictures from back in the day.

Happy Wednesday!

My grandparents had (and probably still have since they never throw anything away) that SAME leather ottoman. Cute picture!

I got mumps last year and it was really very painful. I have to take some pain killers to ease the pain. *
