Glow in the Dark Halloween Graphics

I found this glow in the dark sticker sheet stuck to an old Dynamite Magazine. I tried to rescue the sheet by steaming it off. That didn't work so I thought I'd leave well enough alone. The copyright is 1977 Scholastic. I love the graphics and the combination of orange and aqua. They still glow in the dark when charged. I'm a fan of all that glows in the dark. I'm considering adding some glow to a ghost I'm working on. I also have some candy corn, cats and one creepy clown in the works.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend too!

What to do with a Harvest of clothes pins

If you're like me many things inspire you to be creative. Recently I was doing some basement exploring looking for inspiration. I came across a harvest of vintage wooden clothes pins. These clothes pins were my Nana's(Grandma's) and Busha's(Great Grandma's) they were used and really show their wonderful age. I don't hang many clothes and when I do I don't use clothes pins. After all we have dryers now. So this got me thinking what could I make with these clothes pins. I remember I once had a clothes pin doll. I'm not sure where she is now, I suppose she's hiding out in the basement.
So that brings me to a childhood memory of funny faced fruit refrigerator magnets. Do you remember these I'm not sure if they were from the 50's or earlier. I just remember loving them and their quirkiness. I remember a pear and a watermelon and apple guy. I'm not sure where they are perhaps they are playing with the clothes pin doll.
I decided I would take that inspiration & make some ornaments. So I've made a few batches of Halloween and Harvest Creepling Ornies. Most of the Halloween ones have sold which I'm thrilled about! I know it's only Spring but I'm having fun with Fall right now. Where do you get your inspiration from?

Windflower & lore

This little beauty is Anemone Blanda or Grecian Windflower. A common wildflower in the Mediterranean regions they do dance in the wind. These beauties don't last for long and were once a symbol of death. According to Greek Myth Aphrodite transformed Adonis into a purple anemone after his death. She loved him so much she wanted him to live on. In Christian myths they symbolize blood spilled by the saints.
Such a pretty little flower with such fascinating lore.

Morel the Mushroom Creepling

If you can't tell already I like Mushrooms. This is Morel he is up to no good! Morels are a real harbinger of spring here. I don't normally see them around our parts until May. This guy is arrived a little early.
Real Morels are a delicacy. There is a wonderful website if you'd like to learn more about them. There are even Festivals celebrating this fungi.
Mushrooms are a symbol of luck & prosperity and long life.
