So I was a bit late due to streaming tonight, and missed the deadline of midnight....so that means you'll get 2 posts today!
Anyway, I was scouring the Internet Archive looking for interesting things when I stumbled upon a copy of the October 1958 issue of the American women's lifestyle magazine, Family Circle. "There must be some cool, spooky, Halloween based stuff in this, right?" I thought to myself as I started to flick through the pages...and sure enough I stumbled upon some holiday themed ads....
(click to go big)
First a recipe for some Pumpkin Cookies from Clabber Girl...
Then some fun for Halloween with Crayola....
Pretty groovy, right...well then a few pages later, I stumbled on to someone who I would have never have recognised were it not for a weird computer game ad I found a few years back. But I'm sure to some of my American readers, the name Shari Lewis will be a lot more familiar. Growing up in the UK, we were never introduced to the wonders of Shari and Lamb Chop, but I discovered a bit more about her after some research when I found the aforementioned ad for a Lamb Chop PC game from the 90s....
And now here she is, in a magazine article, giving a well received Halloween Party to some '50s kids! There's some nice hints as to things to do for any kids who might be running around your house during the season, so here's the article in full.....
Some fun stuff in there I'm sure you'll agree!
Next, I stumbled upon some Trick or Treat fun from Wrigleys....
And found some spooky popcorn!
I also found some ads that weren't spooky, but I'm including them anyway, 'coz I love the fifties-ness of them!
And some grape stuff from Tea Garden!
I was happy to find so much stuff when I usually find nothing in so many magazines, so maybe I'll try and find some more issues later in the month!

Right, I'll be back later today with another post, hopefully...although I am travelling back to the parents, so it might be a bit late in the day! In the meantime, go check out what everybody else is doing by hopping over to the hub!
Go on then...click that badge below! Or you could head straight over to The Horrors of Halloween, where Jack O has a look at what Family Guy has in store for us this Halloween!
