"Repairing Halloween"

The other day we were taking out the Halloween decorations we had our first casualty, one of our pumpkins did not survive the year long storage and was found shattered in pieces. Of course my wife’s answer was, oh just throw it away, I said nope! I’ll fix it. So I gathered all the pieces and got to work.

 These were all the decent pieces that I could find, all the rest had turned into dust.

 I also had to recreate one of his eyes as the pieces were to far gone.

Here he is all put back together, I would give all those kings horses and all those kings men a run for their money.

And Here with the first coats of paint, went with a bit more natural color.

"That Time of Year Again"

 

Spooky, Fun and Crazy stuff is on the way so "Like" and "Follow" us on Facebook and Twitter.

X-Ray Vision for $1

 

Remember seeing those ads in your old comics, the ones that offered cool toys for almost nothing, only to get a NO as soon as you pointed to the ad when asking your parents for money, then wondering what it would've been like to have that awesome toy? Well there is this cool guy that put together a book that will answer that question and more, its called "Mail-Order Mysteries" and I have to say that this book is AWESOME!

 

This was one of my favorites to read about. I was always curious about what would actually be sent to who ever ordered something like this. I would've had a blast as a kid if I had one of these.

 

There are also some secrets revealed about some of the items that were offered, like this "100pc Toy Soldier Set". The ad description was a bit flat...sorry, had to.

 Oh and you can't forget the original that everyone can say that they wanted, the amazing "X-Ray Spex". Every young boy that saw these knew that they had to get them for one reason and one reason only...to see what was inside those Birthday or Christmas gifts...you thought it was going to be something else huh.. don't lie you know you thought it.

I had a hard time putting this book down there is so much great stuff in this book I had fun reading this and promise that you will to although I made myself stop reading from time to time because I didn’t want it to end.

Special Thanks to Kirk Demarais for the OK to write this. Want to know more about him and his work head over to SecretFunSpot.com you can find links to his other sites.

Oh and check out his short film "FLIP"

See it here: http://vimeo.com/979599

I'm Still Here Everyone.

I haven't had much interesting stuff happen lately that is worth sharing other than thinking of wither I should renew my web address www.nostalgicmemories.us or change it. Well more because I don’t know if I can afford it and it’s cheaper to pay for another one.

Well that is all that has really been going on, I will try and post more for those of you that follow this blog.

Thanks

Hey all we have started a YouTube channel and will be posting all different kind of stuff, so head over and subscribe.

Just click on the pic and it will send you to our YouTube Page, hope to see you there.

"Still Here"

Hey all, We are still here and still working on the websites, well a little here and there really.
but im surprised by all the views that we am getting and even our Facebook page is up in likes.
Well I just wanted to say that we are still here and all is well.

Oh and its time to clean house in the Nostalgic Memories Office(aka spare room) so all the stuff that I can part ways with must go to make more room for other vintage stuff. I will put stuff up on eBay or find another way.

"Its the Great Pumpkin, Mike & Sam"

Well another Halloween is here and tomorrow it will be gone I still can’t come to terms how time just fly’s by,  at one point I was planning on what to write about and now here I am writing the last post of this wonderful month of Halloween.  I would like to thank the people at countdowntohalloween.com for this and I look forward to seeing y’all next year.  

And Now the Great Pumpkin,

I do wish I had a lot more to write about, but we had our hands full this month and it was crazy but such is life and that just gives me more of an incentive to do better next year. I want to say thanks to all that stopped by to read about my crazy fun little family. If you enjoyed some of what you read come back from time to time I will be posting the rest of this holiday season and who knows what I will write about.

"A little message from Little Emma"

 

For those of you trick or treating tonight be careful and be smart, eat lots of candy and again be safe.

If you don't I'll send my cousin Chuckie to get you in your dreams.

"HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE"
