Halloween Festivities 2011 {An Invitation}

Do come in, won't you?

Gypsy wagon

It is impossible to believe, 'tis true, that the time of the year for swirling twirling magical festivities is upon us!

Halloween planning 15
 

The planning frenzy is in full swing.  Cutting out masks, preparing our finest frocks!

Of course, no party would be complete without you, and so we ask, will you join us?

Halloween party planning 2

Oh please, say yes!

The fortune tellers were here this weekend, and they told us, that you secretly couldn't wait…

Halloween planning 1

I dare say, I think I even saw you frolicking amongst the gypsies?  Searching through their old trunks for a proper costume??

Halloween planning 12

We have been following a serious Halloween party planning schedule.  With tips and tricks found in ye olde spell book…

Halloween planning 13

I most certainly hope to all hopes that you did not keep your spell book on the shelf all summer?  You must get it out and dust it off, if you have, and follow that up with a proper witches dance.  I suggest you do this as soon as possible.  Like now. (tee hee)

I have been drawing and cutting out cardboard stars, and glittering them up, in preperation…

Halloween planning 16

Gold, copper and dark green sparkles everywhere!

Halloween planning 5
 

The cottage is aglow!!

We are soooo excited!  Staying up late, Mister and I, conjuring up all sorts of crrrrazy magical bits and bobs.

Halloween planning 6

We even, shh, whisper….

Whee eeven carved our first, yes you guessed it – of the season…

Halloween PLanning 7

I am completely entranced by everything Halloween this year.  I am eager for deeply traditional hauntings, mixed with "make it up as you go along, Halloween magic."  I want vintage Halloween, childhood Halloween.  Over-done Halloween, with every cheesy wonderful little Halloween happening I can think of.

I want full Halloween immersion.

Tell me you do too, oh please do!!

Halloween planning 2

And so, we have this virtual party. 

A party we get to share, from the comfort of our own homes.  With our own fun, frolic and mayhem.  I just love it!

Halloween planning 3
 

What more could we ask for? 

I want to step into Halloween and feel every little tingle of it.

Halloween planning 9
 

Candy corn, kettle corn, caramel apples, dances around the fire.  Chants, song, cackles!!!  Yes oh yes!

Halloween planning 4

I'll tell you, things are already getting terribly curious around here.  What with doll sized gourds growing, and…

Halloween planning 11

Scarecrow winds turning our house into a veritable jack-o-lantern…

Halloween planning 10

Oh Pumpkin Holiday, here we come!!

Halloween planning 8
 

I think I might faint from excitement, and you?

We best not waste ticks of the clock!  Set the enchanted gypsy table, it's almost time…

Halloween planning 14

Well actually, in a hair over a month, but still!!  Time flows like water.  Get your striped stockings out now, for goodness' sake! 😉

Halloween 2009 51
 

The moon leads the way…

Halloween planning 17

The skellies are at play!

Halloween planning 18

The witches are here to stay!!

Halloween planning 20

Get your sweet tooth in order asap…

Caramel apple party

It is time for a party my friends!!

Come one, come all!!

Anything goes!!

October 22, 2011

Halloween decadence, at its very best, are you in?

Night 63
 

Ohhhh, I hope so!

Hallowen Planning 21
 

Below are some tips and rules and tid-bits, for those that will be joining the festivities on their own blog.

Wondering what to do if you sign up?

If you are signing up to participate in the Halloween Party all you have to do is leave me a comment, with your blog link, stating that you wish to join in… (You have until October 21st, 2011 to sign up)

Then follow these 4 bits of advice (err, rules)…

1)  Share the flyer and/or the button on your blog as soon as possible and link to me.  I will then add your name to the "Halloween Partiers" list in my LEFT hand side bar, and link back to you. 

2)  On the day of the party, October 22, 2011, please make sure to post a Halloween Party post of your own, on your blog, linking to me.  Other partiers will be visiting you on that date. 

3)  IMPORTANT – On the day of the party, after you have your own Halloween Party blog post up and running, please leave a comment at my Halloween Party post, including your "Actual Party Link."  It will serve as an archive of all partier links. 

4)  Blog hop with the other partiers on the day of the event and have a mad blast! Also, leave your blog post up for a couple days if you can.  It takes us all more than one day to make the rounds.  The party usually lasts all weekend, plus.

Note:  Please make sure you post a party post on your blog on October 22nd if you sign up.  If you sign up and later find that you can't make the event, please let me know and I will remove your name from the list.

So that's that.

Easy as pie 😉

Now for this year's party flyer and button.

Below is the flyer, to be used in blog posts etc.

When you click on the flyer below, it will open in a new screen, click on the image again to get the large version.  Then simply right click and save to your computer.  (same goes for the button)

A Fanciful Twist Halloween Flyer 2011

Please copy the flyer and button to your files, for use.

The button below is for use in your sidebar…

I hope you are looking forward to our 4th annual Halloween Party.  I so am.  To see links of all of the parties we throw year to year, click here.

We hope you can join us 🖤

Must go string lights 😉

See you sooooon!

Love, Vanessa

A sparkly heart
 

 

ps:  Important Party comments tip if you use Blogspot. 

Please read carefully.

I have been having a very difficult time leaving comments on Blogspot blogs, and therefore, don't as much as I would like.  So, I asked my friend Theresa who uses Blogspot, why her blog is so easy to comment on?  This is what she guided me to share with other Blogspot bloggers… 

When choosing how folks will comment on your blog, you should consider trying following.

In blogger, one should go to:
1) Settings
2) Comments
3) Select Pop Up Window under Comment Form Placement
4) Save Settings

Make sure you allow for lots of options in the people who leave comments, such as Name/Url.  Not just Google Account.  To do this, after you have done the 4 steps above –

1) Settings
2) Comments
3)  Choose "Anyone" under Who Can Comment

note:  I think the problems occur when people are using Full Page or Embedded Below Post

pss:  During this Halloweenfest time, I will minimize my regular "blogs I heart" blog roll, so that we can compile the Halloween partier list and not slow down the site too much 😉

  1. Ooooh you know I’m in Ms. Vanessa…wouldn’t miss it! I always love your spooky Halloween parties and the fun tea parties you throw!! Lovin’ that party flyer too.

  12. Vanessa,
    I swear the dark blue butterfly in your first photo was moving in the photo. I looked three times…is that bizarre or what! It was moving just a ‘tad’…and no, I have not been drinking ‘pumpkin juICe’ or anything else.
    Must be my ‘vivid’ imagination.
    I won’t be able to participate in your party this year. My health isn’t up to par.
    But I will certainly be blog hopping seeing what everyone else has in their party works.
    You look like you have been running your tush off getting ready!
    I can smell fall in the air and feel excitement through the blogsphere. And as Harry Potter would say….
    ~’I LOVE MAGIC!’~

  13. Jen says:

    Yes, please add me to your list Vanessa! I can’t wait for the festivities and magic 🙂

  14. Jenn says:

    Woo hoo! I am so excited for your Halloween party Miss V! Nobody does it quite like you 😉 hahahaha.

  15. Add me to the list for this year’s party.

  19. Oh my, where those Gypsies looking at me? And there I was thinking I was being subtle in my rummage. But can you blame me? Look at the colors, the glitter, the shadows, the skully grins, the happy cackles, the beaming black cats… and friends in costumes. Oh, and there is my great-great-great-aunt Carlota who hasn’t missed an All Hallow’s Eve Party in the last 150 years. I must tell you she is coming too.
    Yep, we are in, and fully enchanted by the spirits of your invitation 😉

    Miss Vanessa, I sadly must take myself OFF the party list for tomorrow. We had our party, but had so much fun we took barely any pictures! 🙁 The few I got aren’t even good enough to add stars and sparkles for a party post. So I will be visiting as many parties as I can, but please take us off the list so we don’t disappoint anyone who might be looking for a party at our place.
    Happy Partying!!!

    I just changed my comment settings, thank you. However, you should know your instructions are of the OLD blogger interface. I does not allow you to do it per your instructions on the new interface…

  180. Thanks for the tip Bonnie. I dont know anything about blogger
    because I dont use blogger. But I was going off a tip from a
    friend. Half of the folks told me it helped them, and half didnt.
    So it worked for those with the old interface. Thanks so much!!
    😉

  181. Dear Vanessa… Sorry I’m so late to join the wonderful Halloween Party you’re Hosting again this year, they are always such fun! The Man had a Stroke very recently and so things have been quite chaotic and only just now settling down a wee bit now that he is Home again recovering slowly & all of us trying to get things back to semi-normal. But I figure better late than never to join a Party! *Winks* I know I missed the link deadline… but here is mine if anyone wants to drop by and join our Halloween Festivities in the Arizona Desert:

    The design of the pumpkins is superb! If I would be invited to join a party like this I would definitely attend; the festivities and the magical feeling is something that anybody should not miss!

  187. With the prevalence of vampires and the supernatural in movies, TV, books and even Broadway theaters, you never know when a ghostly costume will come in handy.
