Welcome to my spooky little party, please pick up the key and come right in...
There are plenty of treats for you...
But be careful lest the creepy crawlies decide to share them with you!
There are friends to be made...
Perhaps these guys were sailors on some long-lost ship?
Spooky music softly plays...
Perhaps it is playing the Dance of the Goblins...
Candles flicker...
Magic spells wait to be spoken...
Come and have a taste of the fare at Pumpkin Heads Diner!
Although it may not be to your liking...
Who is that peeking out at you?
Feel free to treat yourself to some magical tea...
Off in the corner a shy little lady remembers ancestors from long ago...
As you scan the table...
You may come across some sweet treats!
You had better look out for that Candy Corn Bandit!
These little guys don't usually share, but they will let you have a taste...
And did I just see Mr. Gargoyle swipe a candy corn?
At last we meet the king of the festivities...
He is watching over these departed loved ones...
Now it is time for you to go! I hope you have a magical Halloween...
Thank you so much to the fabulous Vanessa Valencia for hosting this Halloween party! Do be sure to stop by her blog in order to visit her party and all of the other participants.
I must thank my mom and her friend Tonya for all of their fun help with this party!! Oh, and we had one more little helper...

Oh Miss Lauren! Your decor and treats are really something wonderful. I LOVE the color scheme. It is peaceful yet mysterious. I think I would love that scheme in my room... Very lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd your treats and treasures are marvelous! Not to mention your precious art pieces. The cat in a ruffled collar is beyond words! tee hee!
Thank you ever so much for sharing in the magic!!
♥, Vanessa {A Fanciful Twist}
ps: your gramy-phone has stolen my heart!
ReplyDeleteYour party is absolutely delightful! I love all that you put into it! Fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteWell just as you predicted, those creepy crawly's tried to eat my candy corn! I hope you didn't mind but I put him in time out for rudeness. You might want to let him out after I'm gone. He's in the green wasabi pea jar - you know the only one I could find with a lid on it ;) And I'll warn you, I think he's not going to be happy, although he did it to himself!
ReplyDeleteOther than the candy-corn-eating-creepy-crawly, everything was fantastically magical and I so enjoyed myself (especially when I put the lid on the jar over cc himself ;))
Have a wonderfully wicked Halloween!
Purrs!
Romeo and "her"
This looks really fun Lauren! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteOh! Fair Rosumund what beautiful party. I would say your pictures look creepy and scary but I can't! They are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!
I think I might die if I win your painting.
Fantastic party, what a treat, it looks so beautiful! I loved the skellies in the bottle getting to know each other ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween
