School Days in October

I love things that are associated with my own school days...old desks, textbooks, lunchboxes, and notebooks. I have collected some of these over the years and am always on the lookout for more. This bow-tied teddy shares his desk with items from the season. I found a piece of artwork that one of my girls made in preschool and added it to the desk. The nose and glasses remind me of
the school carnival days; carnival games and prizes, lots of greasy food, and homemade costumes. Great memories for me.



Do you remember the grade school music books? There was usually a section dedicated to each holiday. I found these two songs in a third grade music book; it sits on my piano with a hand holding the page. The hand reminded me of "The Thing" from the 60s show "The Addams Family" so I had to add it to my collection.

King Zor, the Dinosaur costume, kindergarten artwork, and a vintage noisemaker...

A bucket full of Halloween treasures!
