From Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas, vintage holiday collectibles can be found for collecting or decorating. In fact, I’ve noticed now-a-days,  starting in September, you can see all three holidays displayed in the stores at once! I looked across Lowes this past weekend to see large Halloween mummys staring across the aisle at the brightly decorated Christmas trees and behind them were fall wreaths!

Here’s a black “Halloween Tree” from an about about.com article – a creative idea by Lisa Joens.

One antique and collectible discussion forum that I belong to: iantiqueonline, has a group that I moderate just for Vintage Holiday Collectibles. This week, we have several entries on Halloween collectibles. Christmas collectible discussions are popping up too.

Another group boasts of creative ideas for decorating with vintage collectibles – including holiday. Antique malls, little gift shops and grandma’s house to name a few – will be showing off their collections this time of the year. It can inspire the rest of us to give those vintage holiday collectibles a place front and center for a few weeks.

What’s in your closet? Or how have you decorated for the coming holiday seasons?
