what a treasure


Just when I thought that I had seen all the vintage costumes out there, I ran across this little treasure... well, actually, it's not so cute, but check out what it is made of... yup, it's a little ditty from the 1940's made of mohair. So what was that little one dressed up to be on Halloween nite? Warm for sure... maybe a little teddy bear. Perhaps someone lost a part...

At any rate, it will make an awesome bear.. I do love the vintage mohair. It's becoming hard to find these days. It would just about fit our grandson right now, but he's a tad small for those kind of festivities this year...

  1. That is a great find! Can can just visualize a tiny trick or treater from long ago wearing it with one of those plastic masks! Too cute!



    My dil emailed me yesterday to tell me she was taking my 3 yr old grand daughter and 11 month old grandson to get Halloween pics taken. Josie is going to be Little Bo Peep and Jamison is going to be her Sheep ! LOL
