Halloween Greetings from Antique Living

Halloween is now the second largest commercial holiday behind Christmas with millions of different Halloween merchandise being mass produced every year. A hundred years ago this Halloween merchandise was not so common and some sought to protect their Halloween merchandise ideas. Here are some of the early Halloween patents.

50 Shades of Vintage Grey

I'ts been a little cold and grey here in Northern Michigan the past couple days. The perfect weather to curl up under a blanket and read a book, or two, or three. I just finished the 50 Shades of Grey book trilogy. Lets just say I'm no longer cold. I thought I share with you my vintage vision of "50 Shades of Grey".












































And just in case your interested here are my picks for Mr. and Mrs. Christian Grey for the highly anticipated movie of 50 Shades of Grey.
