Throw it in a cauldron and watch it bubble. A perfect potluck treat for the party! Missing the Bloglandia Halloween bash is simply not an option! I am ready to do a little Skeleton Rhumba and of course the Devlish Cha-cha-cha… The lights in the Witches mansion are all nicely lit… The Witch waits inside, anxious for the strike of midnight…
A spooktacular Wicked banner from the wonderful Sadira (she made it) hangs proudly above my Halloween mansion. I made silhouettes for the windows and filled it with lights. Mr. Lovee and I will carve pumpkins tomorrow. He left me the most charming surprise pumpkin. Hiding in a super secret special place for me to find, it made me stop and smile and swoon. In the meantime (until we carve tomorrow), I have a cheesy plastic one plugged in, but I like it all the same…
Okay, back to the Witch… She has her lovely shoes and stockings ready to go, her broom all polished, ready to take flight…(You remember my Halloween love that started in September, with the Pirate ship & the stockings!)
The Halloween mirror is almost fully alive, to jump on a broom and fly right inside… Where a Halloween bash ensues, filled with glitter and carmel apples… Carousel rides on masked horses and cotton candy swirling in the air like snow… Would you like to jump into the mirror with me?
The other Witches are waiting, the book is on hand, to practice turning mushrooms into men from romance novels, you know, average Witch stuff like that…
The spooky music is playing from the ever thoughtful Amanda Button, just perfection!!!!
With songs like Eyeball in my Martini and Wormy Figs!! Alfred Hitchcock and more!! I have on my hat, I am the Witch on the left, with the crazy yellow locks, Waiting for tales, got any?? This photo is from last years Witches party and I must say, I am wearing my grandmother’s velvet cape because it was cold. Now today it was almost 90′ here. Pretty scary weather stuff, I’d say…
I have a stash of treats to share with you for the party… The real life treats I sent out for the giveaway are still making their way to places quite far… Miss Mary and Miss Cherie, both enjoyed theirs! Yipeee!Oh and so did Dave and his lovely wife! There is one treat floating in oblivion.. I think it might be sitting in customs due to real and fake edibles…
Off on my broomstick for now!!! I hope you can some how squeeze through the screen and grab a few treats! Back in a few days… After the madness!! YYYEeeeeehhheeeeheheheheeeeeeeeeee cackle!
Oh and one more thing, take a peek at my friend Lou’s (of ArtandGhosts) creation of Vanessa Hallows!! Love it!
OCTOBER 31st Update… I had to come back and share this, it was wayyyy too funnny. I just stopped by at GypsyMermaidLife, and she had this AWESOME link to create your Monster Profile!!!

I LOVE your witchy shoes! But hey, don’t forget your broomstick. It’s crowded in the witchy realms these days and there’s nothing like a super broomstick to get where we want to go fast. I’ll race you!

Oh dear, I can’t fit through the mirror – but then I’ve probably already had enough sweets to eat. So much, I can’t get out of my pumpkin carriage to dance.
Thank you for the musical treats though – wormy figs, now THAT’s scary!

Uh oh, I’m being a British person for Halloween (Doctor Who)… do I need to worry about being tormented? 🙂
We loved our gift bag, and a few of the postcards have now made their way into frames and will be displayed at our Halloween party tonight, as well as the days, weeks, months, and years to come 🙂 The cake (whee!), bat, BEWARE! sign and other tricks will be making their appearance tonight as well. I’ll make sure to post pictures 🙂
Have a wonderful, lovely Halloween!

I LOVE your gnarly handled broom….it’s so perfect! Your Witches Mansion looks delightfully spooky all lit up and your red chair, I love seeing that chair in your photos….it always makes me smile! But especially on this night, because I totally picture you being 5 years old with your favorite outfit picked out and laid out on the chair while you wait impatiently wondering if it’s too early to put it on. I swear, if those stockings were tucked into the shoes? Yup…you would be 5! 😉
Happy Halloween Miss Vanessa….I know this is one of your favorite nights of the year, I hope you are enjoying yourself immensely my wonderfully talented friend!
Ooooh, now heres a ghoul who knows how to party. Happy Halloween. Susan

Funny and creative, as usual, Vanessa. I am so late to the party! I posted my costume Monday night – then came home to so many comments, I’m getting finger cramps trying to keep up! What a night! My musical choice for tonight is “Thriller” (Michael Jackson before he became real-life scary).
Happy Halloween, Miss V!
Love your monster profile, and lucky you with the delightful Art & Ghosts print!

My first time here. I love your artwork! I faved your ETSY shop. :o)
Happy Haunting dear wild one. you’ve provided me with plenty of bedevilment for tonight.
Your Halloween displays are too perfect! Just the sort of thing I was aiming for this year but clearly you pulled it off much better than I did. Thanks for the party welcome.
happy halloween several days late!!! I have missed you, things have been sad and bad for me, but also mixed with wonderful, but I am back to the blog world now!
hello je viens de découvrir votre blog ainsi que votre “shop” , et j’aime beaucoup ce que vous faites …..bravo
yes yes you do torment us…you have a big witchy stick decorated with feathers and bells and baubles and you poke us with it…you do..
Then you say look at my pretty shoes that you can’t ever ever have.
The you make pretty lights go all wispy and guide us off to darkling forests where we have to sleep under beds of fallen leaves until our hair turns red and we get freckles.
*beam beam*
Aaaaaah you are adorable!! And yep I am British and in truth I love being tormented so I guess we are alright! Your studio looks amazing and you have been working so hard (although I know you don’t need me to tell you that hey?) so good luck with it all!

British people you say??? That totally cracks me up… days after Halloween here and I’m still frightened by your post! Tricks and treats, I opt for the edible delight… care to share your goody bag with me? xox, Monica 🙂
Now I know what all the mushrooms are for! Slowly, slowly it some out – first you show us one or two, then admit you have several and now the real secret is out! They are all enchanted romance novel hunksters. In some stories, desired objects turn back into pumpkins. In yours, sweet stuff, they metamorphosize into outsize fungus.
Ohhhhhh Ness you can tourment me anytime….anyway i am only half english….ha ha! Oh and I am back home in Sydney right now for a short break soooo a true blue “Gday” to ya!!!!
