I've said it before. . .

I am not a fan of Halloween.
But I do love that my kids get to use these:

Vintage trick-or-treat bags
(the picture really doesn't do them justice)

Made by my very own Grammy when I was little.

(How old does something have to be to officially be called "vintage"? Does about 25 years count?)

  1. Can't believe you still have these. Wish I still had the pattern. So glad you kept them and Mabel and Oliver can use them.

  2. as you know, i am highly jealous of the fact that you have these. i remember thinking that black lace was about the prettiest, coolest thing i'd ever seen.
    grammy, you're a genius. ;)

  5. I couldn't resist...I had to comment on this post. I have the exact same pumpkin (on the right) that my grammy made for me 20+ years ago. I am so excited for my little girl to use it on her first trick-or-treat expedition this year. Maybe my Grandma still has the pattern...I will have to ask.

  6. Darling. But how does all of the candy fit in them?? I always went for the pillowcase. I guess these would be better for your teeth, and tummy.

  7. I think classic would be the appropriate term. I wish I had one of those. They are very cool.

  8. these days, Scarlett Johansson wears a Dior dress from 1987 and it's "vintage." so i definitely think those pumpkins count!

  9. So cute! Do they have lids that flop over? Of course, I'm still working on my kids costumes (last minute as usual). Maybe I could make them for next year.

  12. sometimes even brand new things are called vintage as long as they have a certain look.

    the "old" vintage stuff (like those darling pumpkins) are way cuter than the "new" vintage stuff.

  13. Those are adorable- I think if it was pre 80's it's vintage. Especially onsidering all the "antique" shops downtown have stuff from the 50's and 60o's.
