Thursday morning we took off in our travel van for the Model Train Show in York, PA.  Usually Hubby goes alone but this time he signed up for a camping site so he could spend the night without having to drive back and forth to the show daily.  
And he bought a ticket for me just in case I wanted to go with him.  
And I did!
The show is one of the largest in the country held two times a year. 
 I enjoyed it - the only negative is they don't allow cell phones (on) or cameras (photo taking) inside any of the buildings.  Bummer for any blogger!
While there I bought some cute things. 
Here are two of them.  
The Halloween scarecrow is a collector's vintage plastic candy holder (Rosebro) from the early 1940s.  It was expensive ($50) but so unusual I just couldn't resist it. 
 The seller had several different Halloween candy holders but this was my favorite. 
 I wished I could have bought the set but it was just too expensive.  
The vintage Mickey Mouse is from 1985 Disney souvenir (Pride Lines Ltd).

| Mr. Scarecrow up close...sorry it's burry. Hubby mentioned I should check to make sure the iPhone lens isn't dirty but this is probably due to low light in the back of our house. | 
I have one other purchase to show you later.
Our landscapers are here to landscape a portion of our back yard by the the driveway/garage/deck.  I'll be posting about that project when it is finished. 
That's all today folks!   
 
 
I love vintage holiday items. I have my very first pumpkin that my mom bought for me for my 1st Halloween, I was 2 1/2 months old! It was filled with candy, my mom and dad enjoyed that. :) xo
