Special Edition: Fall Back in Time Wholesale

We’re thrilled to unveil the cover of our upcoming Special Edition: Fall Back in Time — and it’s a beauty that perfectly captures the spirit of the season. Gracing the cover is the warm and wonderfully storied home of Ed and Marie Morgan of Bartlett, Illinois, a space that celebrates primitive living with a playful seasonal twist.

Marie, the talented artisan behind Primitives by Olde Lady Morgan, has filled their home with handmade folk art, antique treasures, and one-of-a-kind autumnal touches. Marie has been collecting vintage Halloween for over 30 years, drawn to the history and craftsmanship behind early seasonal novelties. Her collection includes rare wax candy containers, a hard-to-find parade lantern, tin noisemakers, and early papier-mâché jack-o’-lanterns—items that were typically made for one-time use and not meant to survive. Today, they stand as fragile yet fascinating relics of a time when Halloween was a handcrafted. The focus here is on the history and survival of these fragile antiques—not the modern celebration. Even for those who don’t decorate for Halloween, the appreciation of these relics runs deep.
