A Halloween Adventure, A Halloween Party, and A Giveaway!

I was walking in the woods yesterday morning searching for Witchberries.  

What's that you say? You've never heard of Witchberries before? 

Well let me tell you, you can make the best Chocolate Witchberry Cupcakes from them and the most satisfyingly magical tea as well.  Delicious! 

As I was walking along I found some of those delicious Witchberries everywhere I turned. 

It's the best time of year to collect Witchberries you know.

Suddenly, I heard the most alarming cackle! 

and I had to go see what or who it was coming from...

I followed it through the woods until I came to a clearing where I found this...

Sweet little cottage. 

 I was so enchanted that I thought I would find out who lived there. 

So I walked up to the door and knocked 3 times. 

But there was no answer.

So I went around the back and I found another door. 

But nobody seemed to be home.  

I know this is bad manners but curiosity got the best of me and I had to look in the window. 

This is what I saw.  It was such a cozy little cottage.  Just full of charm.  

I so wish the owners were home so that I may visit and get to feel what it was like inside. 

Suddenly! 

There was movement! 

And that Cackle Again!!!

The chair at the window began to rock fiercely and I had no choice but to run as fast as my feet would carry me! 

AWAY!!!

Much to my relief, I awoke with a start.  I was home (Phew!)

I just sat for a moment to relax before the Halloween Party and I guess I must have dozed off. 

Yes, that is what happened. 

Here are my treats all ready for the Halloween Party! 

Wait a minute. That plate was full of brownies...

Oh I see, Eudora and one eyed Jack have arrived.  I think those brownie's are one eyed Jack's favorite. 

He seems to want to blame it on the plate and cups.  

But that is quite alright I can put more out.  There is plenty for everyone. 

This little scarecrow and his crow friend prefer the Witchberry cupcakes.

And the Witchberry tea, but those tea cups sure are ornery and like to play tricks before allowing you to have your treat.  

I'd like to send a special Thank you to Ms Vanessa Valencia of A Fanciful Twist for organizing such a magical gathering of kind spirited folks! 

I always enjoy this annual, wonderful, blogland event so much!!!

I'm so glad you were able to stop by and join us for this small but intimate Halloween Party. 

In gratitude I would like to offer a giveaway! 

You see Mr. Scarecrow is looking for a new home.  He was just fired from his last position for being too kind to the crows.

Happy Halloween Blog Party and GIVEAWAY!!!

Hello Dear Friends, 

I had planned to share a big Halloween Party with you that was going to take place here in my home. But Alas, my chill has spread to my little pumpkin children and we need to stay warm and cozy so that we are bright eyed and healthy for All Hallow's Eve. 

However, I certainly will not miss this Halloween blog event. So I thought, what better Halloween Party is there to share than Ghoultide Gathering!  I have not had a chance to post photos yet, so today, I will share the biggest Artful Halloween Party there is! 

I have been fortunate enough to attend this gathering the last three years and each year it gets better and better! 

So come with me and I will be your tour guide to this magical event. 

But first, I want to offer you a special treat. After all, a Halloween Party is not a Party without a treat. 

This year's treat is a special one of a kind ornament that YOU can WIN!

I created this little baby punkin especially for this event.  She is one of a kind and she could be yours.
Details at the end of the post.

For those ready to begin the journey climb into this giant pumpkin blossom.  Come on!  Follow me.

Slide all the way down until you land in the most magical place you will ever experience, Ghoultide Gathering!

Please Be careful on landing.  We don't want to wake the tombstones.  They can be quite grumpy if woken prematurely. But don't mind them, there are so many more friendly faces than grumpy faces here. 

Wait, here is a couple of really nice guys!

 Excuse me dear Sir, could you remind me where we should go to join the party?

Oh Yes, Here we go. Let's all line up to get our tickets to the FUN!

OK. Does everyone have their ticket? Yes, well wonderful lets get in line to see all the goodies. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'm sooo excited!!! 

Oh boy which line do we get in first!

Can you hear the lovely Folky music, the young gentleman on the far right hidden by the corn stalks was playing an old tin bucket!

So now that you know what it sounds like at Ghoultide Gathering let me tell you how it smells...It is a wonderful mix of Hot apple cider, Hot chocolate, Kettle corn, pumpkin fudge and little mini chocolate cupcakes with little jack-o-lanterns made out of yummy frosting. Yumm!
This is a Party for all of your senses!
Next your sense of sight will be tantalized with all the magic and mystery that the Ghoulies use to create their magical pieces.
First up some gorgeous works by Scott Smith.
