Blow molds are actually super easy to repaint. You take spray paint and spray it on some cardboard you use as a palette, then use a brush to paint it on the parts you need to. If there’s cracking, you can use a heat gun to reconnect the pieces or use a small piece of milk jug to meld them back together, then repaint using the technique above.
I loved everything you showed!!! I was an Avon lady from 1979 through 1987 so my favorite was the little tiny pumpkin with the ghost (it brought back memories). So glad I found your channel !!! My birthday is 10/30 my late husband also born on 10/30 and our first child was born on 10/30, so Halloween has always been special.
No joke ! about 8 Years ago i was driving to my Moms house, And something orange caught my eye! someone put that same Don Featherstone 3 pumpkin 🎃 blow mold out for trash! I couldn’t believe someone would just throw that away! Well i never did a u turn so fast in my life! It was in perfect condition too! It had absolutely no fading! This still this is one of my favorite pieces ever and i display it in my house! I also can’t stand the faded blow molds as well too! and people ask so much money for them! Thanks for sharing those neat antique shops! I’d be so broke! 🎃🥰😎That little ghost Pomette is adorable! I remember my Mom had wax witches that were scented but i don’t thin k they were Avon ! She used to collect Halloween from the 20’s The paper mache pumpkins but she sold most of it to a collector once she got sick but the memories of her decorations definitely inspire me! Love Halloween my Favorite! 🎃👻
I am looking for a black cat, haven't found one yet. Most of the ones I have come across is on top of a pumpkin or skull, which I don't want. I have found ones made out of pipe cleaner looking material, which was cheapy looking, not what I was going for. I love your finds! Great job!
(Sarah's husband here) we actually love checking out Owego when we're down that way! That Owego Antique center is a favorite stop :) Didn't know about the Porchfest though, that sounds cool 👍
The derpy cat figure at 19:44 was my favorite! I would so use that in my kitchen which has a lot of vintage black cats/ghosties/jack o' lanterns. You went to some amazing stores and I would absolutely sit through a far longer video showing off the merchandise in them! I enjoyed this video & your rants were valid and more of a constructive criticism of things. Also, I wish I could respond to this video in GIF format because the super brief clips from the amazing stores made me picture Kylo Ren emphatically yelling "MORE, MORE!!!".
Love the black ghost and witch too. Oh lord, when you lit the candle I was like, NOO it will burn and ruin it (kind of the point of candles I know), but felt instant relief when you blew it out 😅 There are candles you burn and then there are fancy candles...that's a fancy one 😅
Its funny you mention because when I bought that candle she asked me if I planned on burning it and I said "only a little bit to get some wax drips but then I blow it out!" 😆
I don’t mind a little bit of sun fading on blow molds, what annoys me is people overpricing them. I’m not paying the same amount for one that’s damaged compared to a brand new one
I’m a new follower and so happy I found you. I had a really bad day today and watching your video tonight is making me feel a whole lot better and giving me some comfort. Thank you .❤
Your Avon find was so special!! You are going to have the most incredible garage sale someday! 🤩🙌🙌 MN has Halloween but you have to dig for it. My favorite little odd shop to visit every year is a place called The General Store. The inside looks a barn loft, and it always smells like cider. 😍 They have quirky Halloween stuff I can't find elsewhere, but nothing antique.
I loooooved this!!! The blow molds you found!!! If only in AZ you are lucky you live in NY!!! Well except for the snow and the cold lol but it’s still going to be 101 this weekend and it’s 10/4 today!!!! 🧡🧡🧡 I had to subscribe!!!!
Ahhhh I'm so so happy you posted this! I saw on your stories that you went to palmer antiques and I was so excited cause I'm visiting my home state next week and I have a day planned on the trip just for palmer antiques!! I went last year for the first time and fell in loveee! The horror movie booth and that artist you mentioned were two of my favorite booths this year! So so happy you found the goods there! 🎃❤️
I have the old vintage retro witch, pumpkin man, and two blk cat candles I wish there was a way to send a pic so I could see them there so cute and were my husbands grandmothers she gave them to me before she passed with some other HALLOWEEN items since she knew I live for Halloween everything 🎃
We’re planning a trip to Salem next October but cause I’m such a shopping whore and Halloween whore I’m really trying to save 10,000.00 for just shopping ( I know crazy but I know I’ll find a lot that I must have!) and we’re staying for a week so plenty of time to shop shop shop!!!
WOWIE!! 🎉 I go to Jerry's yearly the 1st week in October, and I kid you not, not one halloween thing is there 😂😅 I maybe can dig out a few ugly halloween decorations or masks everyone has passed on 😂
I loved the cat bucket ! He/she was awesome and of course the little ghostie/pumpkin from Avon ! My aunt sold Avon and would have loved that piece ! Thanks for showing the wonderful places to go to ! I know it’d be a lot of work but maybe you could do a spooky video of shopping these places ?!? I love antiques and hunting for old and wonderful things ! 🍁🖤🎃🖤🍁
@@sarahtuhro that would be awesome! I saw a bucket exactly like that cat one and it was a either Johanna Parker or Bethany Lowe’s design ! Can’t remember lol but it was one of those so you scored big !
You got some cool stuff. Randomly putting unwanted item with wanted items bc you can't sell it otherwise isn't smart. I've never come across that. Its crazy to me when people sell damaged/broken items for more than they paid originally when it was in perfect condition. I'm not paying more cause its used & broken. You might be right about the glorified storage locker. I find a lot of these have items with no prices. Bc they really don't intend to sell them. Its all a charade.
If u DNT mind me asking how much are some of the blow molds u find? I’m obsessed with blow molds myself and just started collecting them a year ago even though they have been very hard to find in my area I did find the same pumpkin one u have that is also very very well taken care of and found it at a good will store for $4 I about passed out lol but I know I can’t ever get that lucky again I’m sure but was just wondering what u think are the right prices for the good condition ones that are big like ur ghost pumpkin one and the three pumpkin one!?
So much of this video is about local though. Like the Bouckville Antique Show at 3 minutes in is super local. It's all these different antique, and vintage sellers. And everyone we talked to had store fronts in different small towns of New York state : )
@@ColtenSeamans yes, I guess I wasn’t clear, my comment was for a future video about small businesses because She had asked if we would like a video about small businesses. Hopefully online small businesses specifically.

Ok! and for the ones that have a nice soft gradient maybe an airbrush??

I’m so glad I found your channel!! Halloween was so specially in the 80’s as a kid! The blow molds and the flocked everything! I’ve found my people! 🎃
SO HAPPY to have you here ghoul 😍🎃

Great finds! Avon always had such cute things.
Come to Owego, NY! We have such awesome little stores and spooky boutiques :) Owego Porchfest is this weekend!
(Sarah's husband here) we actually love checking out Owego when we're down that way! That Owego Antique center is a favorite stop :) Didn't know about the Porchfest though, that sounds cool 👍
Great video🎃 Do not apologize about your “rants” I don’t see them as rants, you are being honest and a lot of us agree with you. Thanks 🌙🖤
Thank you 😆💞
I'm going to Salem next week and this video made me even more excited than I already am!
have fun!! 🎃
I love that you highlighted the stores you went too. Amazing editing on your videos as always. I absolutely love the Avon candle and blow molds. 🎃👻
Love love everything and thanks for showing the places you visited

I'm so glad you wanted more 😆😆 And let me tell you how much I love that dang cat! He's probably in my top favorite items ✨
Another great video. Truly enjoyable. Love that you love Halloween.
Loved everything! So many cool antique pieces, obsessed! My fav is the ghosty blow mold 👻
Love the black ghost and witch too. Oh lord, when you lit the candle I was like, NOO it will burn and ruin it (kind of the point of candles I know), but felt instant relief when you blew it out 😅 There are candles you burn and then there are fancy candles...that's a fancy one 😅

That's a great point. It's that they're still $100 with all the sun fading. Gotta price to sell
Right?! I saw this big jack o lantern one with so much fading it barely looked orange and they were asking for $35 😂😂😂
Absolutely. The price needs to reflect the condition.
Your finds literally blew my mind, ghoul! ☀
Just love the Don Featherstone Pumpkin Trio🤩 I was so happy to find one, just perfect and adorably cute. Excellent haul!!!🎃
Fun finds thanks for sharing and your cool 😊
I love everything you got! All of it is so cute, the ghost are my favorite 👻🎃🧡🖤
Isn't he just the cutest? 🥺
Your cat lantern looks like it might be a Bethany Lowe reproduction of a much older version. Fun & spooky scores thanks for sharing!🙂🖤🎃
Also Dept 56 made a white cat like that or Seasons Gone By possibly. Can you tell it's bugging me. I know I've seen it before! 🤔
@@MagikalSeasons I'll have to look into it! I'd love to know the artist myself. I'm kicking myself that I didn't ask at the store!
I’m a new follower and so happy I found you. I had a really bad day today and watching your video tonight is making me feel a whole lot better and giving me some comfort. Thank you .❤
Omg that makes me so happy 🥺💖
That was fun. I need to go to Salem one of these days!
Yes!! It's so much fun 🖤
Aaaaaah first video I'm seeing of yours and I looove it 😭 not even to the haul yet. Wishing you best 🥰
Your Avon find was so special!! You are going to have the most incredible garage sale someday! 🤩🙌🙌

Ooooo you painted such a lovely picture. I'd love to shop anywhere that smells like cider. If I'm ever in that area I'll have to check it out!!
Twinsies! I have that same necklace and love it. 🎃
Black Veil is the GOAT of Salem stores.
Omg that wax witch?! It looks cursed. But like, in a good way? 😂
Honestly looks like a found artifact to kick off a horror film.
@@LexW5 I think I've watched that one. 😅
Those are some top tier ghosts!

you can dye blow molds and they look like new
Girl you were in Rochester, NY? I’m only an hour and a half from there! Love your content, and your aesthetic.
Love ur videos! May I ask where the amber lamp on the heater is from?

How much did you pay for your blow molds? I’m curious.

@@ghoulgoil5029 oh I gotcha :)
@@ColtenSeamans no worries, I botched my comment. I should have said, I agree shop local. 😎
Belly bank! 👻
Can you just repaint the blow mold??
I think the downside there would be that it doesn’t light up the same 🤔 translucent plastic vs opaque paint
🙃🙂
a demon is under
loving that eyeshadow color!
