“And above all,
watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you,
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl

Spooky Monday

Happy Spooky Monday to you!
Thank you so much Wendy, I enjoyed every single one of them...
I hope everyone had fun at the Tea Party Anna From Frosted Petunias threw on the night of the full moon.
The Give-away winner from my party is going to be chosen on Friday night!
you will be receiving a fairy guardian

and a (new)Spooky Town piece called Skull Toss.

Today's Spooky Monday/Tuesday is a figurine I altered, the head fell off a few years ago, this is what she looks like before:

This is her after:


I put an old angel doll head on her & she's now a gypsy witch creature,
this is where she lives(it's really an old cabinet I got at goodwill..

Spooky Monday

I just LOVE Spooky Mondays! Thank you Wendy !
I'd like to start off with some Halloween nutcrackers...

This little witch had doll hair which was falling off, so I removed it and replaced it with these fibers.

A silly little ATC I made...

And this guy... I found him at the thrift store the other day too, it flashes bright white every couple seconds. He looks pretty creepy against our Spooky town collection don't you think?
Hope you enjoyed my Spooky Monday this week..
Oh, one last thing!!! I found this at the grocery store, more spooky food!

Spooky Monday


Happy Spooky Monday!
I'm having some breathing issues so I'm a bit off today..
but I do want to show off this curious gypsy witch lady I found at a thrift store.
She was 2 dollars and looks handmade.
I think she feels right at home amidst the the pumpkins, crows and cats!

Spooky Monday

I cant believe it's the very first Monday in October...the days are going to just fly by.
Halloween decorations are being set up outside houses now...I noticed a few dressed up front yards today!
At first I was going to just post about spooky foods, but I got sidetracked...not everything in this post is edible, hahaha!
This little tin is filled with green, purple and orange kettle corn.



I don't usually like Poptarts, unless it's the brown sugar flavor, but I had to get these! They're really good. With a name like Choc-o-lantern, how could they not be?

This girl has been living here for about 6 years or so, sometimes on the sofa, sometimes a bookshelf..Helena started calling her 'Pumpkin Pie' last year and now we all say it.
Stuff like "why is Pumpkin Pie on the floor?" or "Gidget is eating Pumpkin Pie's foot!" I'm sure if any one heard us they would wonder.

Ok, this is the last thing I wanted to share today...
it's part of our Spooky Town collection, which has grown uncontrollably, this year!
It's fiber optic so it turns all different colors and the little ghost wiggles and jiggles.

Spooky Monday

It's time for Spooky Monday again!!!!
I'm still recovering from the amazing Practical Magic party on Saturday! A great big thank you to everyone who fly over for a visit.
So now, lets brush off the cake crumbs and take a walk down yet another slightly creepy,(but mostly fun) path.
Look at this face!
He's one of the spookies that stays out all year.


This beautiful lady is my favorite.
Looks to me like she just gathered herbs and magical roots from her garden and placed them in her jack-o-lantern.


I got this book when I was four, one of my older sisters brought it home and it "got lost"..I still remember hiding it under the sofa!mwahahaha!!!

Anyhow, it has silly little recipes in it and the cutest illustrations...I longed to be her and live her life! and boy did I want my mom to wear a witch hat!!!

I want to share one of the recipes with you today!

See I told you it was mostly fun! Hope you enjoyed yourself and I'll see you later.

Spooky Monday

Well, we have been getting ready for Halloween since July..I know, I know! I can't help it, I love it!!
We watched Some scary movies this weekend, Salem's Lot, The Shining, Carrie,and some silly Goosebumps DVD about huge ants...
My niece carved a pumpkin,

We made some snacks, which, by the way,were so good it was, well, Scary!
they are cake bites,and we used coconut cake mix and coconut icing, with the chocolate coating.....!
We have made these before and they were delicious,but this flavor combination was awesome.

Last week I mentioned the ghost that haunts our hallway...I captured his image before he could dissipate.

Oh yes, the pumpkin patch girl, she came to live with us many years ago on a dark stormy Halloween eve,she guards our bookcase all year.

One last thing, I got these slippers last week! forgive the dog hair, Carter, likes to lie on them.
This is Carter,

This is what he likes to think is his new bed,


Take a look at Wendy's Adventures in Wonderland for some more spooky fun!
Have a great Monday!

Next week I will try and capture images of the Pumpkin patch girl, and the ghosts haunting our hallway.

Spooky Monday

Happy Spooky Monday!
I went to Home Goods the other day (it was Anna's post that inspired me)and bought this vanilla soap.I love the label.

Then I made this little skele-girl out of paper clay. Her skirt is felt and glitter.

Spooky Monday

This weekend was absolutely gorgeous!!Cool and breezy on Friday and rain and thunder all day Saturday.

Last night I was outside for about 2 hours ,just sitting and enjoying the delicious breeze,and watching a myriad of kittens tumble around the yard. Baby Tuna is the only one that lets me take his pic:

I keep saying it feels so much like Fall,almost like I'm trying to will it here. Even though we have a little bit more to go,over at Wendy's Adventures in Wonderland it's already Halloween!!! well, not really but she having a Spooky Monday every week!
So grab your coffee (and your broom) and lets go take a look!
