Over the last couple of years I have shared Halloween collections of owls, black cats and scarecrows. Today it is witch day.
A trio of plastic Rosbro candy containers.
Old witch candy containers still full of that gritty powder candy.
I love this coven of witches. Some are ebay purchases. One is modern, and three are made by me.
Friendly witches.
A bunch of cardboard cutout witches. This one is made by Beistle.
Both by H.E. Luhrs
This is my favorite.
A pair of jointed dancing witches.
This is a larger cutout witch with a cardboard stand.
I love the sticker on the back that indicates it belonged to John's Market.
A couple of Halloween witches that hang on my Halloween tree.
Vintage Halloween plates with witches.
Old noisemakers with witch graphics.
Big Gurley witch candles.
Little gurley witch.
Lots of witches! If you have an idea for a future collection challenge, leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show me your collection of _____." You never know what collection will be stirred up each week!
What an awesome, fun collection! Some of the cutest witches I've ever seen!

Yikes! I think I like the "cute" witches to the scarey ones.
I wonder how many figural candles ever get used? I know I could never light one!

You really do have an amazing collection. I know I say this every time I post, but I really think a few of your witchy ladies need to visit my home.

Eeeeek! I don't think I could sleep at night with that first one in my house! The jointed ones are my favorite. They are very unusual and non-traditional.

Those little witches candles are cutie patooties.

I'm going with the crowd-- I like the cuter ones too! I have a lg Gurley witch (was my grandmother's) and a small one from an estate sale. They're neat!

Great collection of witches! Cute ones and a few creepy or scary ones. Love the first one!! Did you make that one with a Halloween mask? Your favorite one looks like she's out to get someone :-o Didn't realize what the cardboard witch was doing carving the pumpkin.....that one's sort of creepy especially since she looks pretty happy doing that! Now I know where all that cackling is coming from!
Nice collection, thanks for sharing it!

The Gurley little witches always have such cute faces and the large ones are usually painted just a bit askew. Nice collection.

Which witch to choose? My favorite is the cut out with the stand. I love her broom and her orange features! Great collection again!

So what is up with the witch without the eyes? She's a little creepy! I have quite a few of the same witches you have including the candy containers. I have picked up the three I have for super cheap but have seen them in antique malls for $20 or more! Any idea if some are more special than others?
I told you the other day that the cats were my favorite. Well, I lied. I am LOVING the witches. Might have something to do with my favorite show, American Horror Story, which just so happens to be about witches in New Orleans this year.
