Happy Halloween Spooklepeeps!
(Cupcake love 4 U from me)
Hope your Halloween is full of treats ...
(Blue sky ghosty love from powers that be...)
....and treats
(Crown luv from Melissa the Holiday Queen 4 lil ole me!)
and treats ....
(which Hedwig quickly decided was hers)
...and treats
(orange punkin love! Need I say more?)
...and uh, very few tricks.
(Trickery courtesy of the Lost Boys...sigh)
Welcome to the Treehouse, Twinklestars! Quick! No time to lose-come with me through the secret portal, it opens up only once a year....
To a magical mystical place, where curiosities gleam in jars....
and secret spells cast themselves.....
into a batch of chicken cauldron soup!
Yummy, everyone loves-why hello there!
Aw, thank you Thing! Thing's brought you a rose, and me a book to read....do you have time for a story while you sip your soup?
Ah, yes, that's a good choice -Mr.Dickens writes so well, (and the soup might have a secret ingredient, hee hee), that you are sure you actually see...
poor Miss Havisham, mourning her loss. Her beloved jilts her on her wedding day, just as she is in the midst of dressing and preparing the very grand Manor House........
and when she finds she has been betrayed, time stops, literally. And she wants everything to stay exactly as it was the moment he betrayed her...but over the years, starts decaying around her.
.....very sad-and more than a little scary don't you agree?
Because it's Halloween, we can rewrite the ending! For today, Miss Havisham has refurbished a portion of the brewery into a laboratory of er, sorts....and whipped herself up a concoction (non-alcoholic)...and she felt right as rain in no time, and adopted Pip and Stella and lived happily ever after...... and perhaps that bad man would have met his come-uppance.
(Eek! The Eye of Newt is always trying to escape!)
Oh! Horace wants you to gaze into your future though his crystal ball!
He reads the cards and sees you traveling alot...lots of good times...and- Oh Goodness! Of course! You've dallied here too long! You must go to the next party!
Please help yourself to a bit of butterfly kiss, make a wish and find yourself flying to another Halloween wonderland via Vanessa's Magical Soiree!
But mind the mice as you step back through:
They don't bite. Much.
Muhahahaha
Happy Halloween Twinklestars!
XOXOXOXOXO
Angel, ever the friendly ghost, decided to pay a visit to Horace, currently residing on the bookshelf with the good reads, like Jane Eeerie, and the many tomes of Willhe Shake Speare…
To get Horace in the spirit, and to celebrate triskaidekophobia, she brought along a wee orange pumpkin for Horace, to sit beside his white one.
Horace, who seemed touched by Angel's treat, offered her a Caramel Apple.....
which after eating……
Horace has taken over the Treehouse!!!
EEEEEKKKK!
PS. The moral of the story: not only should you not accept candy from strangers, but you should definitely not accept caramel apples from well-read glittering skulls.Beware-and tune in tomorrow-if you dare! Muhahahahahahaha
Just what is it about having boys in the house that changes Halloween into something.....
a little less sweet ....
a little less treat ....
a little less cutesy .....
a little less ..jolly??
and makes it a little more.....dark.
{Orange is practically optional...}
Do you ever wonder how traditions change? Like, Isn't it odd that back in the day around this time of year, the Druids were worried about freezing cold and starvation and death.....so now we celebrate with candy and parties and dress up?
Although, I have to admit, it's kind of fun getting in touch with a darker side of Hallow's Eve...
Stay Tuned Creepystars!!
Muuhahahahahahah!!!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

In order to be many places at once, I have hired a ghost writer:
...introduced to me by lovely Jamie at A Forest Frolic. The Ghost (named Angel, for obvious reasons!) will bring you an update of the Halloween decor progress here at the Treehouse, on a daily basis, culminating on the day of that much heralded, highly anticipated and unparalleled event, Vanessa's Halloween Party on Saturday, October 17th, over at A Fanciful Twist !
Yippee!
So, I'm going to go work work work and try to stay away from Goldenrod, which apparently I've become so allergic to I need an inhaler when I'm around it..and there's a huge field of it in front of my house! Talk about Spooky!
