I used to collect Bakelite buttons but I only sew CosPlay costumes now. I guess I could use them there but I never think of them.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 147 - Turquoise Blue/Green Plastic Dog Food and Water Dish
I bought this cute vintage dog bowl for the cabin. It seems like a good idea but it doesn't work well. When you put in fresh water the food gets wet. When you dump the water, the food falls out.
I kept it over 10 years hoping it would mystically develop better function or I would find another use for it.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 146 - Beistle Happy Halloween Banner MIP 9 Feet dated 1989
The orange and yellow crepe paper banner has 7.5" high, black card
stock letters embellished with silver glitter. The package header reads -
9 foot banner, A Beistle Creation, copyright 1989 Beistle CO.
Shippensburg Pa. The banner was made in the USA and was never opened.
I never did open it since it was sent to someone to use in a Halloween photo shoot.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 145 - Oh Henry Candy Bar Vintage Halloween Candy Box
Now I want an Oh Henry candy bar. The candy box predates modern zip
codes and the graphics appear to be from the 1950s or 1940s. The girl
looks like she's dressed for Easter with her Mary Janes and bonnet. The
boy is costumed in a witch hat, scarecrow jacket and pants that won't
appear again until the 1990s as Zubaz. They are strolling through a
field of pumpkins and corn stalks.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 140 - Ghostly Reading Club Pin Halloween Colors
Anoka is the Halloween Capital of the World so it makes sense that a library reading club would have a Halloween motif.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 138 - Anoka MN Halloween Capital of the World Political Pin
Anoka Minnesota is the Halloween Capital of the World and this local
candidate appreciated it. Pierce ran for office when my children were
young but I don't remember the year.
The 2.5" diameter pin shows a skeleton tipping his top hat while standing in a boiling cauldron. The text reads For a Happy Halloween vote for Pierce.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 135 - 1987 Anoka Minnesota Halloween Capital of the World Pin Pumpkin Bowl
In 1937, a twelve year old boy named Harold Blair was one of 200
newspaper carriers who won a trip to Washington DC. Blair was asked to
carry a proclamation to Washington declaring Anoka Minnesota the
Halloween Capitol of the World. Here is one of the pins commemorating
the ongoing Halloween festivities.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 134 - 6 Vintage Chipwood Fruit or Produce Baskets
Yes, I really have a room that is painted orange.
We found these picket fence pieces in an abandoned lot and saved them from a bulldozer. We added boards to the support spaces and had instant picket fence shelving units.

Feng Shui Clutter Clearing Day 127 - Agatha Christie Audio Cassette
The spine on this well performed audiobook looks like a tiny book.
It was a pain to make the old audio cassettes digital but I'm glad I did it. I didn't bother with music since CDs have better sound.
