I'm taking a break from YT starting 8/23/23. I had to move from my home, but I’ll be back with new content once I’m in my new home sometime in 2024🥰
I’m Laura, a Halloween Artist and Decorator with fun tips and tricks! I’m a Vintage and Repro Halloween Collector who has a year-round Halloween office, and I love to decorate big during the spooky season.
I post new videos every Wednesday and Sunday, so come back often for Halloween Fun!

I just got into Sylvanian and thatˋs also how I discovered this Video. Well, I have to say that I love your collection ! Your self made houses are so adorable, please keep going 😊.
3:20 that one’s cool because it looks like maybe a child is wearing a cat costume… or some person is wearing a dead cat on her head, which is kind of creepy either way!! Kind of funny, totally vintage Victorian.
I’ve only just started your video and I’m all ready HEAD OVER HEELS for your Halloween decor!!!!!! You have IMPECCABLE TASTE!!!!! New subscriber here and I can’t wait to check out more content! ❤
I’m tired of resisting this, I used to think I was going to be posh and build one of those wooden ones (too big). Or collect Department 56 or some knock off. But no, I need doors I can open and close and fuzzy critters. This is really what I want in life.
i’m so sorry for your loss. it’s an amazing thing to have such a lovely, passionate hobby, especially during hard times ❤ your calico critters’ home, and your background are beautiful :D !! the customized dollhouses are stunning !!!
I absolutely loooove your collection! And the hand painted houses look gorgeous! Do you dust them regularly or do they just not collect dust? How do you keep your figures in great condition? <3
I have a cornucopia cat holding a tot pail that I'm pretty sure is very old that I found in a 1 bin at one of our local thrift stores. It's one of my prized possessions.
I am so amazed at your creativity. I am just getting into Calico Critters. I am an adult doll collector. Your fall village is so adorable and the school! I am so inspired. Thank you for sharing. 🥰🎄😊
Hi Laura, hope you & Tobby are both well. I kept looking out for your final post (part 4/ decorate the ceiling) for your Halloween decor, & been looking forward to seeing your Xmas decor.. Been getting worried by your lack of posts.. Only just realised about the mold in your kitchen. Really hope all the work on your home has finished, or nearly finished, & you'll be able to get your xmas decor up for you & Toby to have a colourful & fun xmas together.. (really hope you use those gorgeous silk, shocking pink, curtains you considered using at Halloween.. I think they'll look great in contrast to the acid yellow cabinet..) Anyhow, sending you lots of positive thoughts & best wishes from Wales... Cheers.. 👋🏽🤓🐈🎃🎄
This is wonderful! I love how creative you got with your collection. I've been thinking about starting a collection too. I was an 80's kid, only thing I had was a Maple Town bunny. I'm almost 50 now and this looks so fun! I found plans to build a Tudor style dollhouse to put them in. I think that will be more fun for me than the plastic houses.
Thank you for sharing! I love seeing your collection it brings me so much joy! And thank you for not using any music, I much rather hear just your voice! Great pieces can’t wait to see more!! 🐈⬛🎃
Thanks, I meant the one next to it with the tree house on the back :) I love the Victorian too so will be keeping an eye out for that as well!@@avintagehalloween3410
Ahhh ok! That house was called western house or something like that. I bought it directly from playmobil in 2020. The tree in the back is calico critters. Not sure they still sell the house, but you may be able to find it on eBay or other sites
Man, I need to run to Tuesday Morning! Or find one (we used to have one local but it moved), what amazing pieces! I absolutely LOVE your taste and eye! The way you have curated this collection is incredible! There are just so many pieces I would have never guessed aren't actual vintage! And I love you pull from all different sources to find your pieces, that's what I love to do too. The joy of the treasure hunt 🎃🧡! My favorite cats were the one with the missing ear and the one holding a baby cat, great cats! I love your content so much 🎃🍂! I hope all is going well with the kitchen situation and in general. We went through something similar and know how stressful it can be. Stay strong and may all the wonders of the season find you 🎃🍂. It's almost HERE 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🧡!
I just love your creativity and eye for detail! The house is amazing! And the moon backdrop is EVERYTHING! You really captured the essence of a beautiful full moon, I LOVE IT 🌕! Can't wait to see the finished inside 🎃🧡🍂!
Beautiful work! And you have a truly AMAZING and varied collection. A TRUE HALLOWEEN DELIGHT 🎃🧡🖤! I just love all the texture, all the different materials in harmony and the seamless transition from vintage to modern. So much to love! Thanks for sharing 🎃🍂
I LOVE the street lamps! OMGOODNESS thanks for the tip, I would have never known, and here I was all excited for the battery-powered, stand-alone mini lamp posts from the Target Dollar Spot! The Critter lamps are much larger in scale, but we have a larger Christmas village they'd be perfect for, THANK YOU! I looked them up immediately upon finishing the video. Read in one review how there are tutorials online about making little flower baskets for them, might be a fun project for your Critters! I'm so late on the videos so you probably already decorated but if you happen to have some smaller Halloween villages, the Target Spot ones are great! They're also battery-powered and are about four inches at $3 a piece. In our area the Halloween collections arrive later in the season to Target so I just got them last week. I don't know how Texan Targets work with their collections but if you haven't been and are interested, I'd definitely go soon. I'm so EXCITED to see your decorations 🎃♥️!
