Welcome to our Halloween Bash, do come in and take a seat...
Would you like a cup of spiced cider, an acorn, a faery apple or perhaps another treat?
Look who's here, it's Abigale in all her party finery and Myrtle's just arriving too!
Gertrude plonks down next with hem singed and charred, been dancing too close to the bone-fire again, no doubt!!
"Spiced Spider brew?" asks Abigale.
"Yes please! It's my favourite too!"squeals Gertrude
Mathilda's here but what's she doing leaning over the cauldron?
Is she checking the loveliness of her new hat?
Oh, but wait, what's that? A spell I hear?
Double Double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Turd of bird and brain of rat;
Abra-stinky-cadaver or something like that.
Frill of Flouncer and toe of bat...
Oh, my giddy Aunt what is that?!!
'Tis the Ghostly Governessa and she's not best pleased!!
"MISCREANT MATHILDA! YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR DEEDS"
Not thinking it through, a raspberry Mathilda blew...
"MOCK ME WOULD YOU!!!" shrieked the Ghostly Governessa
and quickly she blew, enough disco dust upon them, to cover 92!!
"What's happening?" wailed Mathilda "My feet just won't stay still, I really can't stop dancing and am feeling rather ill!!"
"♪♫ ♪ ♫ It's astounding, time is fleeting, madness takes it's toll... ♪♫ ♪ ♫"
"♪♫ ♪ ♫It's just a jump to the left,
then a step to the right.... ♪♫ ♪ ♫"
Let's leave them be and drink our tea, they'll still be dancing in a week or three!!
Then we'll hop back on our broom's and pay a visit to our host Vanessa Valencia at A Fanciful Twist she has parties galore and everyone's invited ;)

Melanie, thank you for the party. What a lot of effort you went to. So glad I opted for the faery apples. I hate to imagine the demolition job I would done on my spotless reputation had I got too close to Gertrude after a drop of spiced cider. And has Mathilda really met her match?
Oooh, your little bewitching characters are once more up to no good, I see. Brilliant & loved hearing the Time Warp again (Magenta was a favorite once).. Enjoy the Halloween blog hop!
Oh my! This is wonderful Melanie! Really, really magical and beautiful and whatever other lovely words you can attach 'ful' to. Your photos are absolutely gorgeous and the words and story and images you conjure are simply delightful! I love it, love it, love it! And JJ's right, you went to such a special effort. Aw, I'd love to be a fly on the wall in your house tonight to see what all the little imps get up to when the camera's switched off!
Bravo, missus. Bravo!
Lovely, spooky story an images! I really like the atmosphere you created :)
Have a great weekend!
You're welcome Jeff, glad you could make it and chose the faery apples, the cider brew invites such shenanigans that can't possibly be mentioned here! Met her match? Hmmm we shall see ;)
Thank you Della, I rediscovered the Time Warp by accident recently, what a joy, I had to use it! Riff Raff must be Mathilda's older brother!!
Thank you Roisin, it took AGES and then there was the issue with Gertrudes hair, ahem!
You know what my house looks like ? Trashed, already!! ;)
Thank you Rodica :)
Stunning! I adore your style!

Such fabulousness! Thank you so much for inviting me over. I think I shall have a cup of spiced cider - and deal with the trickeries later. ;) And Keats thanks you dearly for coming over and sitting a spell with me. :) Theresa
Oh what fun! Loved the story edged with subtle humor - yep, you got it...this cat did indeed laugh!! Of course I made sure that I wasn't drinking any of the cider er spider cider when I started laughing. You know that's not such a funny thing then. You know spiders coming out your nose or some such nonsense. Anyway, I was trying to say that it was a grand party and I certainly enjoyed myself!!! And oh yes, "she" also had a grand time!
Thanks so much for inviting us!
Purrs! hic*
Romeo and "her"
Sitting here feeling pitiful with a nasty head cold (thank goodness this is a cyberparty, so I can keep my creepy germs to myself) and your post is making me smile and laugh. A grand party, THANK you!
Hi Melanie! Spooktacular party post! The cider was delicious. Love the imagery and story you shared with us! Happy Halloween! :)
What a joy to check my blog and see all of your comments, thank you all SO much, I'm getting round to visit you all little by little :)
Oh Evelyn, Abigale certainly had fun, a cup too many of spiced spider though, she was "resting" her eyes all of yesterday ;)
Hi Shayna, It's just lovely to hear from you again! Much love to you and this new and wonderful phase
Thank you for inviting me to your party! I had a wonderful time and really enjoyed your photos and story! I hope you will come visit me, too!

Thanks for the great time!

Miss Melanie your party was charmingly, creepy with its bit of a gothic falir. I simply loved it to death and dear, your dolls are to die for! Beautiful work. Had a good belly laugh though over your re-wording of Shakespeare's scene with the witches - turd of bird. It was rich. Thanks for all the fun. Belinda Mae amagpiehalloween.blogspot.com
