My Sale Continues Until Halloween...Plus Bonus!

I am extending my website sale until Halloween and I will personally include one very small, signed drawing in every order of prints or Uke T-shirts from now until then (limited to one drawing per person.) How's them apples?

This is Hanging in My Kitchen

These are Victorian trade cards -which I blogged about some time ago. The top one, "Brooks Spool Cotton" happens to be an image that I live with everyday. I have a metal repro-sign hanging on the wall of my kitchen. It makes me smile when I make my coffee in the morning. The trade cards for the sewing industry are among my favorites. Here's one for J & P Coats thread featuring cats teasing a vicious dog (bottom image). Right up my alley!

Thanks for reminding me of this great art BibliOdyssey .

Halloween in the Time of Cholera

The older the better, I always say. This is a Halloween photo from 1911. Steve Chasmar with his seemingly never-ending collection of wonderfully weird photos of times past is uploading one vintage Halloween photo a day for the month of October to
