vacation wednesday october 12 2016 random acts of halloween random acts new creepy crafties one of my all time favorite postcards i have been so lax at blogging i am embarrassed to say more and more it seems like facebook and instagram are taking the place of posting for many of my blogging friends i like the immediacy of sharing a new craft on instagram but nothing beats the magazine style format of a good blog post i enjoy writing about my life and odd ball things i find on vintage vacations the world is full of things that make you scratch your head and say huh i just love finding those things so i will continue on this time of year blog posts are mainly holiday craft oriented the long winter days of january are a good time for story telling this isn t the fanciest blog with professionally designed elements but it s mine and i love it i hope you will hang in there when i am lazy and don t blog as often i will try to do better new creepy crafties shadow box jack he was an

2016 lost halloween traditions rituals to find a husband note this is a repost from 2013 i have been very lax about posting and i thought if i shared this older post it would get me back on the horse so to speak will i see my true love s face one of my favorite places to visit in the las vegas area is the clark county museum in henderson located on the old boulder highway it s not too far from our condo the museum s curator mark hall patton is often seen on the reality television show pawn stars i love this museum they have created a street of heritage houses each from a different decade and featuring different aspects of nevada and las vegas history i will do another post sometime on those houses each is fully furnished for the time period and often by the original owner s possessions there is even a historic vegas wedding chapel this morning i received their email newsletter and found an article called halloween rituals to find a husband this was an aspect of halloween i knew very little about does it count if you stand in front of your true love s picture the author asks but what about the halloween traditions and beliefs that today s trick or treaters have forgotten all about a lot of traditions were focused on the future and the living instead of the dead one of the reasons that fortune telling was so popular at parties many of the rituals had to do with helping a young woman identify her future husband giving her hope that someday by next halloween perhaps she would be happily married for example in 18th century ireland a matchmaking cook might hide a ring in the mashed potatoes on halloween night hoping that whoever found it might also find true love popping hazelnuts in scotland a fortune teller might instruct a young woman to name a hazelnut for each of her suitors then toss the nuts into the fire if the nut popped or exploded he was not the one for her but the one that burned steadily to ashes would be the future husband the one whose love burns true and steady i suppose in some versions the opposite was true another legend says that if a young woman eats a sugary concoction of walnuts hazelnuts and nutmeg on halloween night she will dream of her future husband apple peel test apples appear a lot in old halloween traditions and rituals in christianity apples are portrayed as the symbol of sex in the garden of eden young women tossed apple peels over their shoulders hoping the peels would fall on the floor in the shape of their future husbands initials apple bobbing apple bobbing is a very old halloween tradition but one we still follow boys and girls duck inside the tub to catch the apple as it floats away from them it takes a certain amount of skill to get a grip on the apple whether with your teeth or by suction at many parties the first successful apple bobber would be the first down the aisle the apple and the candle an old custom the was meant to be fun but was kind of dangerous involved hanging a stick from the ceiling on one end of the stick was an apple while on the other a lighted candle the stick was twirled rapidly and let go to unwind with one s hands tied behind their back the object was to try to bite the apple without getting burned most of the time the participants went home with scorched and blackened faces this was considered hilarious another apple ritual or spell says that the girl should cut an apple into two pieces in such a way the the seed part resembles a pentacle she would throw one of the pieces over her left shoulder walk backwards towards the mirror without looking back while she eats the rest of the apple with one hand and combing her hair with the other before the mirror then she should look back to see the face of her future spouse the candle and the mirror there seemed to be a lot of variations of the see my love s face in the mirror ritual the young lady stands in front of a mirror in a darkened room on halloween holding a candle when she peers over her shoulder she should see the face of her true love candle twirling test i hadn t come across any info on this particular test of love but apparently if the twisted candle stays lit girlie you will be whatever that means lol i had a lot of fun learning about some old halloween traditions that have passed into oblivion thanks to the clark county museum for the interesting topic it might be fun to experiment with a couple of these but maybe not the apple and candle test yikes best halloween witches wishes posted by shirley hatfield at 4 46 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels halloween holiday traditions holidays monday august 29 2016 steampunkin and the thief of time steampunk what is it about steampunk style that is so appealing to me sometimes i wish i were younger so i could get geeky and immerse myself in this whole other world it s kind of a fanciful victorian julesverne science fiction fantastical voyage into steam powered technology with a lot of rusty gears i have always been a nerdy kind of person i was into star trek from the time i was 12 i went through a lord of the rings fan phase as the collection of hobbit figurines in my office will attest as i get older i don t seem to feel the need to go to comiccon but i still feel the desire to dream fantastical dreams george likes the idea of steampunk and has been collecting materials to build a few cool lamps i love it when the creativity gods smile down on me sending those eureka moments that strike at the oddest of times mine happened while i was organizing my halloween crafting materials and found a pad of scrapbook paper i forgot i had it s a graphic 45 collection called steampunk spells and it s pretty cool i had an inspiration flash steampunkin what could be more fun steampunkin jack in the box steampunkin jack old bed springs are the perfect size for a jack in the box finished jack is about 18 inches tall jack s hat was a woman s fascinator zurchers has a steampunk section in their costume department they have a fun selection of accessories jewelry hats goggles you name it even little bags of gears the medallion on the front of the box was a brooch from zurchers i used the lid of the box for a platform for jack s box to sit on i wrapped the edge in leather and added nail heads the legs are mini candlesticks from hobby lobby jack s box is wrapped and embellished with graphic 45 s steampunk spells papers up next jack s companion thief of time altered crow thief of time i ve had this crow on a wooden platform for a few years i thought a clock
