I am tickled! I am thrilled! I am doing triple backflips (in my mind). I am so excited so many of you have signed up for our Halloween Party. For some reason I was forseeing some lonely witch, on a dirt road in the desert, having a party for one. Alas, you shall join me, Yippeeeee, Hoooray!!
I updated the last post, with a new flyer link for those of you who do not have a white blog background. Noone asked me to, but I thought it would look better ;) I know, I am obsessive like that...
Also, you can continue to sign up. I am already working on the links list. So my head doesn't pop off my body right before the festivities begin ;)
So, I have a question. Was it a weird week, or was it just me? I had to escape it and do some love things... Like collect wee creatures...
The local shoppes are going to start sending a super tall mean guy to escort me out if I don't stop asking, "When are your pumpkins coming in?" But, I will keep asking as long as they keep responding with "I don't know." Luckily, the farmer's market was a happy tiny pumpkin creature filled place...
I am a girl who can not say no to certain things. If a certain gourd, makes goo-goo eyes at me, it's all over, he is moving in ;)
And, if he has brothers, it's okay, they can move in too...
I am beginning to think that my ability to have friendly relationships with inatimate objects is becoming a good thing. Who needs complicated?? ;)
People ask me, you know, don't you get lonely in your country world. All that time spent alone? And I am thinking, what, are they for real? Didn't they just hear the stories these ghosties had to tell??
Like about the time, they were absconded by the Pirate??
Tell me that I am not wrong in thinking that you share some of my insanity (which I really think is societies unrecognized version of sanity, but that is a whole other blog post). Tell me, that you don't peg something, and attach affection towards it like I did with these wee pumpkin creatures?
The market was in a tizzy because I was so adamant that the stem not be broken on this other wee little spicy guy.
I held him through check-out. I carried him with me in a little bag. Please take care of the stem! And see, he is in his new home, stem and all ;)
So, it is safe to say, this week's escape from the real world, while keeping in the autumn mode, was spent enjoying some time with lil punkins & friends!!!
Aren't lil' punkins the cutest things ever??????
King Bird thinks so too!
I also couldn't resist buying myself some flowers. I just couldn't. They were so bright and lovely. I guess I have a Spring Halloween Twist goin' on here...
I find it to be such a fulfilling wonderful feeling to pick up flowers for myself. It makes me feel like I am being friends with me, and loving me. Instead of being a meanie to my own self.
It might sound silly, but, to look at them, and know that I gifted them to myself is such a good thing. Brought them home, trimed them up, put them in a vase. A little love for me from me. I think we have to do a little something nice for ourselves every so often...
My Mammie taught me that. Nice sheets, nice towels. Love yourself. Stand up for yourself, be your own cheerleader. All that fa la la stuff. And it took me a long time to get it and apply it... Maybe it just took growing up... But I am glad she planted the seed, so I could grasp it and water it, when I was ready...
I went into town today (to my house in town), to check on the witches and make sure they are waking up and getting their garments ready for our Halloween Fete!!
Socks, pointy shoes, bloomers... Check!
Hats... Check Check!
This gal is also having her scary witch mask waxed for the event...
I chose a few bakelite bangles for the dress up event. Even though I have most of my faves here in the country with me...
Everytime I go to my in town lil' home, I feel like I am in wonderland. I forget all the treasures I have to play with...
I even decided to let you into my very very very very secret silly bangle play dress-up drawer... You can choose anything you want to play with ;)
While I was at it, I restocked on some major staples... Shoes! I have a hearty collection that are all but forgotten, so I decided to bring s'more to the country with me...
I don't even know what is in or out. I just wear what I like, which scares my sis sometimes. So, I packed the bag full. Oooo, I forgot I had these...
And then unpacked when I got to the country...
Who knows? What if a nice oger wants to take me out dancing this week? (hint hint) Hmmm, strange shadows...
I have to be prepared...
Little did I know that the kind oger himself, had treats to add to my pumpkin and gourd collection. He hid them behind his back. I never would have guessed what he was hiding ;) He is too funnnnnny!!
Here is a bad night photo. Thank you Mr. Loveeeee, they are perfectly cute! I guess, a cornucopia will be in store at some point this fall...
So there you have it... Catch up, of the long silly version. The next time I come to visit you, I will have some extra fun goodies!! Little elvies and creatures I made in July. I am just finishing painting them. Time got away from me. But, yes more elves and other super secret characters will be in the shop sooooooon!! Just a few days ;)
Make sure you stay in the fun Halloween Dress-up mooooooood!! I can only tell you that, things are getting spookier around here by the minute. Don't worry, it won't get very spooky ;)
Feel free to continue signing up for the party. Just let me know you are joining in, and make sure you leave me your correct blog link... Here are the details if you are just joining us... The more the Cacklier!!
