I held off as long as I could…the kids were chomping at the bit to decorate for Halloween. I made them wait for October 1st. When I was little I was just like them, always anxious to decorate for the upcoming holiday season. Honestly, I still feel the same way, finding time just gets harder as you get older.
When I pull down the boxes of holiday décor, no matter the holiday, it’s always fun to see what’s been hiding away the past year. It feels new each year. I can hardly remember what I had for breakfast, much less what I decorated with a year ago!
Many years ago I decided to add seasonal artwork to my decorating mix.
It’s one of my favorite decisions.
I was a bit younger and didn’t have lots of décor collected yet, this was an easy way to add instant vintage to my holiday stockpile. After scrolling through pages of online art I ordered multiple seasons all at once. Then I hunted around for old picture frames to fit the prints and had them matted and framed.
It wasn’t the cheapest thing I’ve ever done, but they are classic and I use them every single year. They never grow old to me.
I move them around year to year.
If you are looking to add some instant vintage to your holiday line up I went ahead and gathered some Fall holiday favorites below. (Please note these are affiliate links*)
Here is one of the prints I have: Halloween Girl and Jack O Lantern Goblin
This vintage witch and owl pic is a fun one for Halloween:
Sweet hugs for this Halloween Girl and Cat:
I just love this vintage turkey for Thanksgiving:
This turkey on a pumpkin is a little more fun. Poor thing, the silverware hints at it’s fate:
How about this patriotic take on turkey!
Sweet girl with a stinging prayer: It’s hard to read, but says, “Eat, drink and be merry- tomorrow you may die. Applies to turkeys as well as to you and I.”
This print lends itself to staying up through Christmas. Children watching turkey pen:
There are a variety of options in framing these prints. Any way you go, you will love them for years to come!
Let me know if you have any questions about how to frame and where to use these treasures!

I don’t consider myself that old, but I do remember some of those turkey pictures in various homes/antique stores over the years. I love how you mixed and matched them. I’d much rather look at these than the crazy stuff that is out today.
You definitely aren’t old! I enjoy these prints so much!!!
So much fun! Love the mantle and that Goblin Gulch framed print is terrific!
Thanks – it is one of my favorites!
I loved looking at these. I have a vintage skeleton that I bought for my children from the Beistle company on my front door. It looks fantastic. Great ideas and thanks for sharing!
I bet that is fantastic! Halloween is so much fun!
