Happy Haunting Halloween Tea~

It's Halloween! It's Halloween! The moon is full and bright~

Time for best ghoulfriends to gather for an Autumn teatime lunch. The Princess, the Gypsy & the Devil arrived together~

and here now is the Witch~

She leaves her broom at the door~

And we shall see what can't be seen on any other night.

What's this? She brought her familiar! Oh, the house looks so festive for the party~

Skeletons, Ghost and ghouls, grinning goblins fighting duels, werewolves rising from their tombs, witches on their magic brooms~

The mice are scampering about..watch out for the Witch's cat! It's time for tea~

In masks and gowns we haunt the street~

The table looks splendid~

We are starting off with Rotten Squash Soup with a sprig of Rosemary~

Cassandra tucks in!

And knock on doors for Trick or Treat~

Would you like an Ostrich Egg sandwich? The Princess likes hers without crusts! What do you think of the table?

Shall we turn the lights off?

Cups stacked and waiting~

Candles aglow~

Tonight we are the King and Queen~

Purple webs? Oh, how spooky!

I wonder what is inside these tins? Luna Moth Eggs? Beetle Parts?

Cassandra asks, "shall I be Mother?" Which can only mean she is ready for tea and dessert. (it is an old British custom to be called 'Mother' when you have the honor of pouring the tea!)

And what a cute teapot! A candy corn witch's boot! Cassandra is pouring Tarantula Tea~

Mmmm...I can smell the Pumpkin Muffins. Even though they have 'BOO' flags don't be alarmed. Calories don't count today!

For Oh Tonight It's Halloween!

Or perhaps you'd like a Ginger Chew? The Mummy said she'd never met Ginger, but heard she was a spicy girl! lol~ Have a sweet tooth?

There is chocolate, Indian Corn, peanut butter and even Dead Men's Thumbs for the Troll...he so loves them.

More tea? There is a whole cauldron of it in the kitchen!

Or perhaps some Love Potion?

Why don't we carve a jack-o-lantern or two? A spider or bat would be nice~

Take out all the 'goop' inside and roast the seeds later.

We cannot wait to see our pumpkin glow!

Oooh, ahhh...the carved spider gleams bright!

This one wears a silly grin! Let's set them outside next to the scarecrow.

Well, I've had a lovely time. Hope you did too! Thank you for attending. I think we should do this every year. Perhaps we'll have a dance next time. Wouldn't it be fun to wear dresses like this?
