2 Cuties on a Broom

Good Gracious, Witch, how Hallowe'eny! - I have no clue to what that means. Happy day before Halloween.

Cuties in (Halloween) Love

A rare romantic Hallowe'en greeting from ye olden days. This is an aspect of the holiday that has long since been forgotten.

Owl's a Cute Treat

This vintage Halloween graphic features a wonderfully stylized (and cute) owl in the foreground and a simple & skinny witch in the moonlight. The amazing type treatment is a bonus as well!

Cute Witch Cycle

This cute plastic plaything features a witch, a pumpkin and a motorcycle! I guess sometimes a broom isn't fast enough!

Cardboard Cuties

"Who are these cuties?" you might be wondering... well, these are home decorations from the 60s for the home. I adore the adorable pumpkins and smiling cat, and even the witch looks sweet; oddly, it's the owl that scares this trick or treater! Well, they still get a big "Hello there cutie" for being so swell. xxxo

Creepy But Cutie Too

This wicked witch mask may be a bit creepy, but her big toothy smile proves she's only a "trick" with a true cutie hiding somewhere behind the Halloween facade.

Wickedly Cute

Is it possible to be both wicked and cute? Well, this red-haired hag certainly isn't scary. From the illustration style depicted, I believe this image was from a greeting card circa 1970s. "No Magic Spell...No Witches Brew...Can Keep Me Away from You!" That is wickedly cute.

Cute and smart

The Witch Next Door is a super cute book that Scholastic published in the early 1970s that teaches kids about subjects like prejudice and tolerance. It's somehow very timely once again.
