It's time for our Halloween evening festivities to begin my friends!
The goblins tried to keep me away but I persevered and here we are!
Golden, pink and orange confetti drifts in the air…
As you step in to your wildest wonderland of Halloween celebrations.
Magic fills the room, here just for you 🖤
Choose the most enchanted tea cup you can find.
I heard there is a tea cup that even sings in the softest hauntingly beautiful tune.
Telling fortunes and casting only good spells.
Come into my tea room of mystery and mischief…
Hosted by Mrs. Pumpkin herself, dressed as the queen, emerging straight out of my late night painting sessions.
All you need is 1/4 teaspoon of magic to last you the year, go on now, don't be shy, drink up my dear!
Insects fly in and are instantly turned into gold…
While the invisible witch shows us only her hand, dare you take a teacup offering from where you stand?
There are sweets and confections a plenty, for one and all…
And karaoke with a Pumpkin Queen is quite a ball.
She can sing full opera and set free the most beautiful sounds.
But beware the pink pumpkin of journey's untold.
For one mere lick is certain to send you back 200 years in time, and we still do not know the remedy for your return, oh my!
And if you attempt to sneak away with one of the 24k golden insects, well…
You can tell what happened to the other guests (jack-be-little pumpkins), I'll say no more.
🙂
Everyone wants to be around Mister Pumpkin, as he leans over and whispers the most utterly decadent tales you could ever fathom.
About the time he grew in a pumpkin patch, and watched the witches fly over the moon.
Memories from being just a wee pumpkin babe himself.
And the time he sat at the foot of the bed in Marie Antoinette's bedroom.
Watching her try on striped stockings and pink satin ruffled shoes beyond any imagining whilst preparing for her masquerade ball.
Of course, who would even notice a pumpkin listening you see.
The tales and secrets they have piled up from here to thee.
But get a pumpkin and a China head doll together, and this Charlotte girl will tell you tales that will send shivers up your spine.
The endless attics she's been in and the dolls that come to life at night, before she was finally invited to dine at our yearly Halloween soiree!
Poor dear, I'd say, let her have all the shroom nog she can muster.
Now, allow Mrs. Pumpkin Queen to bestow a good spell on you before the season is over…
That you may carry Halloween in your heart forever more.
That you will never grow up, nor lose that magical spark deep in your heart.
That you shall be able to tap into Halloween any day of the year.
A time of make believe and frolic.
Of twinkling lights and golden leaves.
Take your vial of fairy dust, and hold it near and dear.
In hopes that we will meet up year after year.
And never forget, the creativity within you.
Be true to you no matter the day.
Be strong, be brave, be creative, be imaginative…
Nothing can ever take that away.
It is yours forever my dears, says Mrs. Pumpkin Queen.
For Halloween can only exist with the power of your greatest imaginings!
As daylight falls, the party kicks up into extra spooktacular gear.
We dance and twirl and toss sparkles into the air from ear to ear.
Listening to the giggles of melting candles (they do that you know), and savoring the flavor of caramel apples.
The song of your heart.
The Halloween joy, the memories, the air, the scent, the magic, the mystery!
May it live within you every day of the year my friends.
A love for creativity and imagination is what keeps the Halloween inspiration alive in us Halloween lovers.
Now dance under the blue moon this coming week.
Set all your wishes free into the night sky, and know that your kindred spirits see them take flight.
And above all, believe, never loose that, not ever.
Wrap it in rosemary and rose petals and hide it deep in your heart.
You are lovely and wonderful, my fellow Halloweenie.
Cheers and clink clink to candy corn sappiness which is me.
Thank you for being a part of this year's tea parteeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
(insert mad cackle of joy)
Mrs. Pumpkin Queen thanks you and hopes that you make wishes regularly 🖤
My kindred friends, this party is for you.
May it add just a little light and love to your days and last week of October!
Love from the bottom of my heart,
Vanessa
🖤

Lovely Halloween Tea Party, Vanessa. I like your colors, and everything is more magical with glitter.
Where did you get the green hand with pink fingernails. I love it!!
That is a very popular green hand over the years 🙂 I got it at an antique store in Tucson in around 2001. It had yellow nails, but I painted them pink back then 🙂
