The Halloween festivities continue with my vintage blow mold collection.
Most of the pumpkin buckets were purchased from estate sales over the past year. They are balanced on top of each other and I'm waiting for them to topple over the next time I open my china hutch to pull out a dish.
My lighted blow molds stand guard next to my Halloween doll house.
They have gotten increasingly harder to find at estate sales, but I still enjoy the hunt!
Tucked around my blow molds are my Halloween
Magpie Ethel creations.
The black cat was my 2011 acquisition.
The little witch was purchased in 2012.
The ghostie was purchased this year. You may have noticed her in my dollhouse blog banner.
Laurie (
Magpie Ethel) is so talented and I always look forward to her Halloween spunhead creations.
I probably still have another 10 crates to unpack of Halloween decorations. I'm not kidding. We own more Halloween than Christmas.
In between marching band competitions this weekend, I'll be decorating our 3 fireplace mantles with more Halloween goodness.
On Friday, I'm going to be posting my Halloween Kim K. give-away. Be sure to check back!

Looking great!
Oh my comment wasn't finished & it posted! Anyway, everything looks great! Magpie Ethel is a master! To dream up such characters & be able to create them! I too have more Halloween than Christmas which is crazy to some people ! I'll be taking the rest of my blow molds out Friday and then fri-sat its a Girl Scout camping trip for me! Hugs!
I have two huge tubs full of Halloween blowmolds and I only have a couple that are the same as yours. I just love them! They are the closest thing to recapturing my childhood Halloweens. This year I found a jack-o-lantern that was flat on the back so it could be hung on the wall.
Hard to pick my favorite blow mold but I think it's the cat with the jack-o-lantern:@)
Those are all great, Kim. You have such fun decorating for all the holidays- You know I never knew those were called blow molds until I heard it in blog world. I love them-they are just fun- xo Diana

Love your blow molds! Can't wait to see the rest of your Halloween decorations :)
I've got my Halloween out and what a relief. I only have 5 bins, but it was my weekend project. Love my creations in the glow of the pumpkin lights..almost like they have a spotlight on them!
What an amazing collection! I gasped when I saw all those totes in your closet. I'm beginning to see why. Love your blow molds. I have yet to nab anything Halloween at an estate sale. Lucky you!
It's beginning to look a lot like Halloween! Love it!
Love that cat! Wow -- can't believe you still have more! I need to get with the Halloween program -- we have a few pumpkins and that's about it. Must be time to shop! :)

love you magpie creations! I want some of those too! ...
oh the obsession!
have a great day Kim. I'm off to clean the bathroom!

But if you are on a quest for Halloween blow molds, that means there are less for me to find. You just stay in Michigan and I'll stay in Ohio and there should be enough to go around :)
I have looking at all your Halloween. So much fun and sooooo cute. Love all your decorating.
Hugs

Your pumpkin buckets are wonderful, I didn't know there were so many different ones to collect. Can't wait to see more and to enter your drawing!

Your halloween display looks really great. I have passed on those blow molds at the thrift stores before, but now that I've seen your display I won't be passing them again. It looks FABULOUS!
xo Danielle
Now I have blow mold envy...! LOL
You have such a knack for decorating!
I am encouraged to dig out my tubs~maybe. I have so many new/old things that I can probably skip digging.
Have a terrific weekend. Jersey Boys for me!
Holy cow! You have been busy! Halloween is sooo much fun!
You make it so much fun! All about happy . . .
Love your Blow molds!! Your decorations are so awesome!! Love them all!! :) xo Holly
So much spooky fun! I love watching Halloween unfold at your house!
Love blow molds! And love your display!
Just came across this blog via Pinterest. I'm searching info on certain blow molds as I too collect. I'm wondering if you have info on some of yours. I am especially interested in finding out the date of my "masked pumpkin light" I just bought Wed. It's imprinted that it is from General Foam but no date. Thanks! Love the blog! Terry
