A Witches Tea Party (or how to start a yearly tradition) Day 1

A Witches Tea


Once upon a Saturday, so near to Halloween
Some witches came over to play, and to have a witches tea. 


The table was set for a holiday with yummy treats and cups to spare


Spiders, skulls and spooky things were present everywhere


A bouquet of autumn flowers were a lovely sight to see


And my eyes delighted at the sight of the treats in store for me.


The mantle was all decked out in it's spookiest best


And the sideboard was so scary it would impress the witch of the west
The guests began arriving and who would we first see

Witch Sarah, my future mother-in-law in her witchiest toggery


Glenda (Jamie) and Witch Martha made a very Oz-y pair


Witch Niki's beautiful green hat was the envy of everyone there


Endora (Mom) was in attendance, with no Samantha in tow.


And Shmoo came dressed as a Marvel character I didn't even know. 


Double, Double this looks like trouble made of sisters three
Mom, Cathy and Anniebob enjoy the revelry


Witches in Training became friends fast Miss Moira and Miss Kynnadey


And who is this? Why I of course Witch AlphaBetsy


Crescent moons for chicken salad and little sandwiches



Cupcakes taunt beside fruits and vegetables for dieting witches


With all introduced and the table laid to begin our jubilee


Please grab a plate and sit a Spell and have a cup tea!!

I LOVE your curls, and the dark lipstick, and don't ask me why, but I thought the teabag was a tamale LOL

What a beautiful display. How wonderful it must have been to have a bunch of friends over. I'm hoping to do something similar next year, but for now I'll enjoy yours!

Happy All Hallow's Eve!

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho...

Halloween Party 2010!!! - For Really This Time.

Image
Who is this? Lurking above our chamber door? A raven?  "Evermore" croaks he. He has claimed his spot and refuses to leave. I am rather fond of him anyway, so as far as I'm concerned he can stay.  Of Course I keep a broom beside my doorway. Bristles up for protection, like a good witch I must admit that you are a little early for the party. I am still trying to get ready, but you can come inside and look around.  Black vines and fairy lights decorate the banister.  The sun shooting into the chandelier makes a creepy sight, especially with Halloween Buntings in Black and White.  Glitter skulls and spiderweb candle holders sparkle from the mantle.  Herbs, flowers and brooms hanging on the wall waiting for me to use them.  Silver skulls surround a batty candelabra in the center of the table.  Am I ready for the party? Well I have on my stripy Halloween socks.  And my witchy clothes. Is a derby a witch hat? Well it is if a witch is wear...
