I shouldn't be here, no no siree. But I couldn't help myself, I tried, believe you me. Alas, there are things happening in two's and three's, and I had to spill the proverbial beans! Are you bored silly? Or Excited to the T?? I'll tell you what, some sparks of inspiration flew in just in time…
Magical shoes sent by my sister, from an era when you could visit the theater with an actual dime. The note attached read,"These reminded me of you…" And I had to chuckle, for imagine having such shoes remind someone of you? Eeeks, hahahaheeheeeeheeeheeeee 😉
As soon as I put them on, curious things, yes curious things indeed, began to happen at bat wing fluttering speed!
A butterfly landed on my thumb…
Then, two hawks yelped above my party planning festivities, looking at me, as though I looked good for eating. Maybe with some rum punch sauce, or perhaps roasted with oranges and greens, YIKES!
Although, I think the hawks might be the witches. Yes, the witches. Nail crunching, squinting, wringing hands… Eeeeeeee!
And then, wait, you won't ever believe this… A spider came down and sat right beside her. Her being me, and the spider being he….
And dare I mention that, he came with a tale. Not a tail, but a tale!! A tale written by the most lovely little fairy, Linda Diane. A beloved soul….
Simply click if you'd like to read, about precious Thelonius, the spider.
How neat!
He fits in quite perfectly, into our kooky little nook…
Oh and did I mention that GIANT morning glory flowers, 2 dozen or more, have taken over the enclosed secret garden?
All over night. Ooooooooo! They have climbed way up, and all around…
It's the shoes, it's the shoes. I know it must be true.
So I best put them on, and head out into the woods, and prepare to greet you sooner than soon. I hope you can make it to the party 😉
I am making wishes on stars, that we have a wonderful fête. I am so so so excited for party time. I can't wait to visit all of our fellow partiers.
What a wonderful place, this virtual land, that let's you and me and us, dance in circles, holding hands 😉
Shoes on, broomstick polished. Puppy dressed as a black cat, and away we goooooooo!!
Caaaaaaaaaackle!
See you soooooon!
Thank you for playing with us! It means the wooooorld, to our wee little hearts 😉

Dear Vanessa,
Thank you so much for telling the world the story of the most magical of spiders, my friend, Mr. Thelonius. I see he has made himself right at home, even to the point of climbing on the head of a certain Halloween guest, as noted above. Thankfully, she didn’t seem to mind. Perhaps it set the spooky party-ful mood for her all the more!
Mr. T. has such a lovely smile on his face, as I would expect. Who wouldn’t smile while at the lovely abode of the wonderful Miss V.? Thank you ever so much for your bountiful hospitality to my friend . . . . Love and hugs to you, Miss V., and to Mr. Thelonius

I love it all.
Oh my! Vanessa!!! What fabulous photos. I love love love the effects you did. Delightful little spider with an even more delightful tale. The shoes! The shoes! It must be wonderful to have a sister who knows you so well. So sorry I am not able to be in your party, however, I will be partying with all of you…my home is under construction and even the patio has been taken over by construction THINGS. Waiting breathlessly to see what you have done this time! **blows kisses** Deb
I love what you do to your pictures, visting you is always like visting fairy-land 🙂
The comment on the shoes made me smile – because those shoes would certainly remind anyone who knows me of me!
you know what one of my favorite things in this world are??
people with the bendy back thumb, and you have it.
I dont, mine is rather straight, but my darling man does and he passed it on to our daughter, lucky me!
ohh to be surrounded by the magical bendy thumbs

Maybe if your click your heals together your shoes will take you to a far away fairy land!
Oh! I forgot…You ARE living in a far away fairy land!!! Silly me!!!
I love the hawks in the photo, they are beautiful.
Can’t hardly wait until tomorrow for your party! And everyone else too who will be participating.
Cheers to everyone!

Hi Vanessa.
I stayed up late and posted my party early
as I will be out for most of the day.
I will rejoin the party later.
Off to bed now – see you later
I love the color of your shoes! Yummy!
I sent you a cool Halloween e-card. I thought I would mention it here in case it went to your spam file. (It’s from care2 cards.) They have some really amazing Halloween cards there! You should check them out. They certainly inspired me! :0
Beloved One of the Fanciful KIND,
I believe those shoes had you in mind
when on the shelf they waited with care
for your sweet little sister to find them there. THEY ARE SOOOOOO DARLING…JUST like YOU!!!
oxoxox Cori
