Vintage Halloween card BEWARE! THE TIME IS HERE IN WHICH THE WITCHES DO APPEAR. A woman with blonde hair in a blue dress peers around a grandfather clock with ALL HALLOWEEN as the numbers on the clock and a pumpkin as the pendulum.

This is a photograph of a cardboard box full of greeting cards. Most of them are linocut designs and are in packs tied with twine.

I've had a productive day and am very pleased to have a lovely box full of cards ready to deliver to a local shop tomorrow.

PS It would be silly not to mention that the designs are also all available on Etsy in the UK! 😁
