2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) **UPDATED!** This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome!
I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already!
I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier!
I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post.
No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them.

If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival,
scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here.

Happy Halloween Fete 2009!
Love and Spookiness to All!

Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem.


Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful!
Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink,
I so hope you don't mind!

What with all of the
party hopping
we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some
Pumpkin Cookies
Candy (of course!)
Apple Cinnamon Herbal Tea
Autumn Spice Coffee
and
Magic Hot Cocoa!

Yes, magic!
Watch it turn from brown & white
to
ORANGE
R
ight Before Your Very Eyes!

For the more adventurous souls,
try a glass of
red, purple or green...
My personal vintage!


Bwwaahahahahahaha!

Huh hem.

I hope you enjoy your visit!
I'm so very pleased to meet all of you
and
hope that we will see one another again soon!

WOW Jo I'm impressed with your decorating. Makes me think of my mother-in-law's creativity with holidays. I'd bet you'd love one of her Dannewitch (she hand makes these witches out of different type of items and they come out amazing.). I think she should sell them b/c their very festive and cute!

Merry Meet - you look lovely in your gypsy witch outfit - very fetching. I think your different font sizes made the party more interesting, actually. Most exciting though - you have the same plates as me!!! I LOVE those plates. LOVE them. I have the cups too. Do you have the cups?! Hmmm, perhaps I'm being too perky. (Note to self: Don't scare the nice hostess - take the perkiness down a notch. Deep breath). There, all better now. So, do you have the cups too? :D

Dearest Jo,

Thank you so much for the delightful party!

Do please accept my humble apologies for joining your party so late. You see... I was traveling home from New York on Saturday and had no computer access. Now I'm playing catch-up and visiting all of Vanessa's wonderful parties.

Thank you so much for flying over to Casa Hice on your broom and leaving your little petite witchy footprints on my welcome mat. Do come again, as the door is always open.


Happy Halloween!

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun
