Handmade in America Vandolls Folk Art by Rachel Garrison Includes one flickering battery operated tea light to illuminate the piece! The Retro Scaredy Cat is here to prowl your Halloween collection with that classic, wide-eyed expression of surprise that never gets old. This little 6-inch paper mache lantern by Rachel Garrison captures the spirit of vintage Halloween decor with its dramatic features and unmistakable old-school vibes. Its deep-set eyes look out in surprise, and its vellum inserts allow a flickering glow to shine through when you insert a battery-operated tea light. The brilliant orange nose and streaks down the muzzle add just the proper amount of color, like the last brushstrokes on a haunted canvas. Around the base, a ring of crinkled orange and black crepe festooning gives this black cat a burst of old-fashioned flair, perfect for a Halloween display that leans into those spooky retro roots. The wide, toothy grin, framed with bold red and white stripes, adds a bit of playful fear, as if this cat just spotted a ghost or perhaps caught a glimpse of its own shadow. Combine it with additional lanterns, Halloween buckets, or a few flickering candles to create a sentimental setting that exudes October spirit. This Retro Scaredy Cat will stand out as a daring, whimsical homage to earlier Halloweens, whether it is sitting on a side table, watching over a stack of candy, or peering out from a shelf. If you love a bit of spook mixed with a whole lot of style, this cat’s for you. Just don’t be surprised if it gets a little jumpy when the lights go out. Item #: RG043
