Have A Brew On Me

Have a cuppa, as they say in jolly old England.

Here's some cider, and some witch's brew. I'm not sure what's in the witch's brew...it looks suspiciously like the cider to me!

Quick Recipe:

Pour out a bottle of apple juice into an old cooking pot, add some whole cloves, a sliced-up orange, and a good dash of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon. Heat it up and serve in an old chipped cup by the light of a fireplace. And enjoy!

Little Owl Free Halloween Art

I took this tiny owl from a vintage card and changed the dear up a bit.

Also posted are dancing witch boots. Not original to me, unfortunately, but ever so cute. I love to think of them dancing in perpetuity.

I can't believe how close Halloween is now. I like to spell it Hallowe'en, with the apostrophe, but that's become so rare as to be unfamiliar to many. But when I was young, eons ago, that's how we spelled it. I'm so old I remember when mimeographs were new. And now generations X, Y, and Z, and even a few younger boomers, are wondering "What's a mimeograph?"

Raggedy Ann Pumpkin - Free for Halloween!

I originally made this little gal for my avatar on a forum.

I put her in these 2 graphics for you.

The bottom design looks cut-off, but it will save as its whole self.

Right-click to save. Hope you enjoy. I like rag dolls.

Happy Fall, With A Free Autumn Design

Goldenrod has an undeservedly bad reputation.

I love the plant.

Shall we go pick a big bouquet together?

Right-click to save. Hope you enjoy. I wish you could see how pretty some of these designs are BEFORE they are made smaller or "flattened" so as to load more quickly.

Also included is a "bonus" graphic. I think I will double up on graphics whenever I can, because Halloween is so very close now! Yes, I know I spelled "wytch" with a "y," and was just trying to make it look a bit old-fashioned.

Do kids trick-or-treat where you live? We haven't had many at all in recent years. When we do get them, I give out light-stick necklaces. They like those.

O Happy Harvest


I did this and forgot it, I think. Found it in my Xmas folder, of all places. Apologies if it was posted previously. At least it's right in season now.

Happy Autumn Clipart: Bringing in the Hay

Here is an altered version of an old postcard. I know those days of yore were hard, but I very much wish I had lived during that time. Ah, for a time machine!

Some Clipart for Autumn: Pretty Leaves


Here we have some autumn leaves and a wish for a beautiful autumn. The leaves are altered a bit and taken from a lovely vintage card. Those long-ago artists were superb and I kneel before them.

Right-click to save. Hope you enjoy. The graphic is a bit larger than shown; one side is being cut off here but will be present on your saved file.

Primitive Pilgrim Pumpkin Clip Art, Free As Always

Something a bit different today, a bit primitive in style: Here we have a pumpkin wearing a pilgrim hat, complete with buckle and a few pip berries.

I think it would be cute to dress up in a pilgrim costume for Halloween!

And, a few mini-buttons to celebrate the start of autumn! It's finally here!

I had a long post prepared, complete with horror stories of work and all the scary students in my classroom. Alas, Internet Explorer ate my post. It's just as well, I think.

Right-click to save any of the following graphics. Hope you enjoy this clipart. The word "Autumn" is fuzzyish in the last graphic. My eyes are tired. Argh.

Free Halloween Animation: Pumpkin Patch Sign

I painted a little sign for my pumpkin patch and have it outside, although the vines have taken over that part of the yard and no sign is really needed at this point! It's a rather beat-up looking sign.

I took a photo of it and made it into a little animation. Right-click to save.

Hope you enjoy.

Free Autumn Graphics: Pumpkins

Thanks for the ideas! I truly appreciate them.

Here is just a little graphic I scanned from a drawing I did. I saw another artist paint pumpkins on a turquoise background and really thought it looked great, so tried it myself.

It looks better in person. My scanner is so complex that I don't do as well with it as I did with the little "plain" one I had.

Autumn Sampling

Some rustic and autumny things. The earrings are primitive in style, and the little "cake" can be made easily with some dollar-store flowers, hot glue, and a small piece of styrofoam.




This is an undated version of the feather tree crow I put up earlier; someone was asking for undated versions of the graphics, and I will oblige.

Free Autumn Graphic: "Wheel of Cheese" Pumpkin


Here's a copyright-free photograph of a Rouge Vif D'Etamps pumpkin growing in my garden. It's an old heirloom pumpkin that originated in France. It is flat, like a wheel of cheese, and is also sometimes called the "Cinderella Pumpkin." It has a deep orange color when mature.

I always grow pumpkins and this one is my hands-down favorite, although I do admit that the Wee Be Littles also have my heart.

Free Halloween Graphic - Bittersweet


I love the bittersweet vine! The berries just shout "It's autumn!" to me. And they are food for birds, too.

Hope you enjoy.

Pumpkin Growing

Sometimes it's hard to find a copyright-free image of a pumpkin growing. Here is one that was taken of a white pumpkin ("Lumina") in my yard, along with a late blossom.

Firefly Autumn Animation Graphic

Here's a cute animated gif of fireflies in a jar.

Two versions are included, one that loads more quickly than the other, but is not as crisp.

Hope you enjoy the animations. If you have dial-up, give them a moment to load.
