I've had so much fun the last couple of hours going through Halloween pictures from years past dating from 1970 to 2008. I've always sewn so the majority of these costumes I made. We have always maintained a costume box, so that they could be recycled. That's why you see the same costume on two different kids; or in the case of Daniel Boone three different kids (2 different generations dating from 1975 to 2007). Have I ever told you how FRUGAL I am?
The second generation!
I see where a gypsy blouse has become a pioneer girl's blouse 23 years later.
Hope you enjoy this look back as much as I have.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

I will be away for a week while my son has surgery on a shattered elbow. I'm not much of a nurse (the kids discovered that early on), but I can drive, cook and iron a couple of weeks of shirts for him.
See you soon.
Sally
I'm linking to Mary's blog, Little Red House, for mosaic Monday. Be sure to stop by her beautiful blog to see all of the mosaics.
What a good idea to have a costume box (and how fun)! I hope your son has a speedy recovery from his surgery! Enjoy your visit!

Love the old photos. Those costumes are great. Love the one of little Dorothy and the ruby slippers.
ReplyDeleteMust have been fun to reminisce. I'm the baby of the family so you know what that means, less photos of me. Is that good or bad?
Hope all goes well with your son.

ReplyDeleteYour photos were fun to look at Sally. Brought back memories of improvising costumes for our two girs back in the '70s and I didn't sew!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Such a wonderuful look back.

What precious memories and darling mosaics. Priceless! Sharon
ReplyDeleteYou made all those costumes? How awesome! I wish I could sew like that. Even better that they are passed down!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky your children are to have such a talented mother to have made these costumes over the years. Memories they will have forever!

It's so much fun strolling down memory lane! I admire your sewing and costume making skills.
ReplyDeleteI hope your son has a speedy recovery!
The children in your life are so lucky that you are a sewer and have kept a costume box! They must be thrilled to go through it and find something or to know that you can create something entirely different. Fun post!
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable! I especially love Dorothy! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteHow cute they all look!
