It is outrageously chilly here, quite cold in fact. Our bird bath was frozen solid yesterday morning. Strange occurrences at the time of the year where anything can happen…
As the sun was setting, I could see the witches at work through the trees, as sparks from spells and cauldron fires filled the night sky…
Shiny red apples prepare to be glazed in delicious layers of candy and caramel…
Beware of the old woman offering perfect red precious apples (I love this in French) –
Ahh yes, my pretttties…
We, over here at AFT, are making sure that our teeth are in perfect taffy munching condition. Make sure to make your sweet tooth extra happy…
Yumm yumm ;)
I am carving a round ghoulish head…
Perrrrrrfect pumpkin brains indeed!
I do quite adore the scent of the candle burning inside the pumpkin head. How we must savor every morsel of this spooky mysterious day, don't you think?
Now, beware of who you meet out there, under the full moon…
I am keeping that in mind while I stir up some melted chocolate…
And get a few ingredients together…
To dip and sprinkle my homemade caramel apples with. Ooooooh, aaaaaah…
May the creepy wonderful magical swirls of All Hallows' Eve dance around you. I am in full spooky swing, and loving every moment of it.
My best friend and I will be up to some major tricks, don't worry, he is harmless. He says, he can't wait to hide behind a tree and wait for you to skip by… EEEeeeek!
Don't worry, he just wants to invite you to the circus…
I promise –
Sweet ghoulish dreams, as we delight in a Saturday Hallllooowwweeeen!
See you extra sooooooon. Are you wearing your pointy shoes? Will you be costumed? I can't wait!

Happy Halloween, my friend. I’m going to have a busy and magical day spending time with one of my best friends. Then reading Tarot cards at a Halloween party later on in the night.
When I return, I plan on dancing withe faeries and eating chocolate on this most magical night.
Pure Halloween perfection. We would expect no less from you Vanessa dear.
You thrill.
You chill.
You amaze.
You daze.
You slink.
You wink.
You do us all proud and we love you.
Happy Halloween my pretty!
Happy Halloween, Lindax
Happy Halloween!! Beautiful photos. I look like a ghost but mostly because my neighbours kept me up until 3.30 by singing karaoke off key and stomping the floor and knocking on walls. I would prefer to look like a unicorn or butterfly.
Happy Halloween to you as well, Vanessa!
another intoxicating post! I don’t know how you keep it up so consistently!
Happy Hallowe’en to you – have a spooktacular evening!
Oooh Vanessa, your blog is soo enchanting, it so reminds me of all the wonderful, magical things I enjoyed as a little girl, and now I feel like I am ten years old again after visiting you… Have a wonderful All Hallows Eve!… Bisous… Julie Marie PS Your candy and caramel apples look sooo yummy!
Happy Halloween Vanessa! I like your videos and halloweeny pictures. I think clowns are scary and that is when they are not doing scary dances! Though actually this one was not too terrifying. Hope you meet lots of lovely ghoulies and ghosties and long leggety beasties tonight!
Happy Halloween Vanessa, hope you have a spooktacular day. We are off out tricking and treating friends and family tonight, should be a cackle. Dressed up in our glam rags. I’ll be keeping photographic evidence of course and then it’s a well earned blogiday for the month of november i think. Catch you later 🙂
Wow, the French Snow White is so fun and beautiful! That clown is freakin’ freaky. lol Happy Halloween!
A big warm Happy Halloween to you as well! 🙂
SpOOky Best,
Chris
XOXO
Great pictures, Vanessa! Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween Vanessa!!!
I have my pointy hat! Love that French version. Happy Halloween! -kelli
Mmmm…now I want more caramel apples. I made some a few weeks ago but I don’t think that eating two was enough, do you? ‘;)
Tonight two of my friends are getting married. They are very goth and having a costumed Halloween wedding suits them – and us as their guests. (LOL) My companion and I are going as Victorian ghosts. I can’t wait. It’s being held in a winery and afterward there will be feasting & dancing. A perfect evening.
Hi, I usually just lurk here to read your blog, but I just had to say that I loved this post. Now I want caramel apples. And clowns terrify me.
Have a Happy Halloween.
Happy Halloween Miss V,
I’ll be a fashionable witch handing out treats, but remember evil never goes out of style
BAHAWWWWWAAAAAAA

ok. Enough with the clown. EEPS!!! Bring me 100 chainsaw massacre guys, 50 mothmen, 30 Freddie Kruegers, and 1 Hannibal Lecter over that creepy clown guy. What’s up with that? I couldn’t even WATCH the whole thing.
Have a fabulous Halloween, Vanessa. Enjoy the caramel apples and your sweetie, but (looks both ways and whispers) stay away from the CLOWN! – Kathy in Chicago
Happy Halloween dear Vanessa,
I hope you have a great day today!

Happy Samhain!!
I’m pretty sure I saw “Blanche Neige” in French growing up- so much fun 🙂
Oh now you’ve gone and done it, Vanessa…Alice is terrified of clowns. During the teen years, SPC Ryan used to dress in his psycho clown costume and sneak into her bedroom at night and whisper, “Bobo’s in your room”. This post will just do her in! First photo is so magical…just like you. So sorry, I stole an apple! **blows kisses** Deb
Witchie, witchie…
Screamie, screamie…
Happy, happy Halloweenie!
Boo :~O
Caught up a bit on your magical posts. Will come back with coffee and truly look and enjoy. We have been a wee bit ill so “Busy” and “Tired” were are new names, not to mention, the children, “Drowsy” “Stuffy” Cranky and Boo Hoo. We loved eachother through it with kleenex and hugs and feel loads better. You have shared such magic and I am all for the grown-up artist’s trick or treating if you ever want to swap dear. Take care and Happy Halloween and a great New Year! Blessings and light.
Love your post and Happy Halloween from across the pond. ter wit ter woooooooo 🙂

Happy Halloween to you and Mr. Lovee, and your parents and your brother, your dog and everyone!

You are always one of the first people I think of on this magical holiday! I hope you had a perfectly bewitching night!!!!!! 🙂
You just have some MAD photography skills. Incredibly.
Happy (and sweet) Halloween!
Yes, clowns are definitely THE scariest. Showed up for a Samhain festival last night and had to leave ten minutes into it as my daughters’ allergies went through the roof. Oh well. Happy Halloween!!
Mizz V…I hope by the light of the moon you have your Halloween’s delight..may your feet dance with joy & sing a bewitching song – for all the faeries & goblins & ghouls to hear, and to know that a magical night like tonight only comes to those who know that fairy tales, folklore,and dreams are for those who believe…have a magical bootiful ghoulish night – sweet dreams! peace 2 U, amrlene
