Hello there!
It’s still Halloween in my home.
Won’t you join in the fun?
I intend to marinate in this magic a few more days.
I can’t handle how cut and dry November 1st becomes.
No no no, not for me, I need a little more.
My mom gave me the most charming menagerie of circus characters which worked perfectly for my décor this year.
Sparkles and sweets galore.
Oh Halloween, how I love you.
Twirler in the midst!
My dining table is soooo happy right now.
Dancing and silliness abounds!
What must she see in her crystal ball?
I always love a zebra, don’t you?
Twinkle lights and glitter everywhere!
It isn’t Halloween without the green hand right?
Owls and crows and berries oh my!
We always need a really rude sweets eater to seal the deal, wouldn’t you say?
🙂
And little white pumpkins to brighten the day.
Witches and black cats, candy corn and caramel apples…
Owls and bats…
And don’t forget Boo!
The favorite word in our costumed acts!
I’ll never get enough, oh no sireeee!
Give me this mayhem and magic more than once yearly, please oh please!!
A curtsy and twirl and magical sparkly swirl!
We loooove Halloweeeen!
Oh my fellow Halloweenies, how I love this time of year.
I’ll have Halloween all weekend before I am fully prepared to change décor.
It’s been more than busy around here, as you know.
I’ve had crazy personal real estate dealings (my previous career which I still keep a toe in for fun). Don’t worry, the country house is not going anywhere.
And, so many other things which I am going to tell you all about soon.
I promise.
It’s all good, but different and sooo unexpected even for me.
Like a crazy dream, this little journey.
The twists and turns of life you seeee.
But for now we have circus magic and Halloween bewitchings a plenty.
I still have black painted nails and a jack-o-lantern by my bedside.
The wonderful fairytale like quality of autumn is certainly here, what a thing.
The blessing of seasons, how lucky are we?
Love, V
Ooops, I almost forgot…
Our winner for a copy of Country Sampler magazine is…
Number 1, how crazy is that?
Linda!
It must have been caramel corn luck 🙂

Lovely Halloween decorations. I started packing up my Halloween and fall things on Friday. I usually leave the fall things till Thanksgiving. I have a couple things on my table.
Now I am transforming my home into a Christmas, wintery wonderland. I love opening boxes and seeing things that have been packed away for so long.
Sorry to not comment much here lately, I have been having computer issues. Need to get a new one and have no idea what to get.
I have looked high and low for this magazine, it’s just not available in my area.
