Happy Hauntings





This old vintage tattered lunch pail
became our Halloween treat box last year.
(Now you know why I have had vintage lunch boxes on the brain.
 See yesterday's post.)






My two sisters and I loved watching
The Munsters 
when we were kids
and when I saw this last year,
 it totally reminded me
 of Herman.

















So I grabbed a paintbrush
and some silver paint
and made it official.











What is your all time
most favorite candy?






 Happy Halloween Friends!

  1. Hi Alison, Reece's cups and I have had more than my share this week because I am handing them out tonight. Herman's lunch box is very appropriate. Happy Halloween. ♥Olive

  4. What a cute idea using the lunch box! I read once that Reese's Peanut Butter cups are the number one candy parents take from their children's halloween buckets and eat themselves! I loved watching the Twilight Zone!

  10. I love that lunchbox! My favorite treat when I was a kid was Kraft caramels. Today it's mini chocolate bars - not that I go out collecting. I just make sure I buy a good sized bag for the 5 or 6 that come to the door and I get to eat the leftovers. Have a great day! Pamela

  11. I love reese cups (the mini's are wonderful too) and 100 grand candy bars. Those are my chocolate pics. For tart candy, I love smarties. See, I can't pick just one. I have such a sweet tooth! This is a dangerous holiday for me.
