New Post on The World of Animals and Nature

Christmas is a celebration of joy, giving and sharing with loved ones and even with people who do not have the possibilities of having a wonderful Christmas, a meal on their table or a roof above their heads. But there are also thousands of animals who need our help. If you're an animal and nature lover, follow my other blog The World of Animals and Nature.

And now it's time for a great DIY Snow Globe

What you need:
  • A globe with rubber base and plastic stand
  • Epoxy
  • Ceramic or plastic ornaments
  • Distilled water
  • Liquid glycerin
  • Glitter
How to Make It
  1. Look for 7- and 8-inch flower aquariums, which include a globe, rubber base, and plastic stand, at floral shops or online.
  2. Use epoxy to attach ceramic or plastic ornaments and figurines to the rubber base, which also serves as the lid.
  3. Fill the globe with distilled water to just below the opening; add about 1 tablespoon of liquid glycerin (found in soap-making sections of hobby stores) to thicken the water.
  4. Sprinkle with glitter.
  5. Working over a sink, slowly invert the decorated portion of the rubber base into the water; stretch the seal of the rubber base over the lip of the globe.
  6. Attach the plastic stand, turn the globe upright, and watch the snow fall!
  7. For extra sparkle, stand the snow globe in a silver wine bottle coaster.

Trick or treat!!!....vintage style!

Helfyre

I've searched for some vintage Halloween costumes and....honestly, some of them kinda spooked me out! They looked so real! And others are so terribly cute!

These four pictures were found via wackyowl

US Army and Indians costumes 1905

1920

The next couple of photos actually made me feel like I was in a horror movie! I don't know the exact period when the photos were taken but by the looks of it they are pretty old...

 In love with these two pattern prints for costumes! They are hilarious and totally cute!I'd go for the kitty costume.

and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,
'tis near Halloween.
