BLESSED SAMHAIN......HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Blessed Samhain!  This is the night that the veil lifts and we become closest with those who have crossed over.  The air is filled with magic.  This is my favourite night of the year.



I give blessing to all of those I love, here and gone.  I miss the women in my life who taught me to be who I am.  My grandmother and great-grandmother were strong, loving women and I miss them dearly.


It is funny how things evolve.  Where once Jack O'Lanterns ( which were originally turnips not pumpkins) were set out to keep the spirits away, are now carved to rejoice and welcome the holiday that has become known as Halloween.  Our kind are revered and loved where we were once feared and prosecuted.

So tonight as you welcome your little Trick and Treaters remember what this night is really about.  Although I love the Halloween Holiday of today I do remember tonight,  the women who were sacrificed in the name of ignorance and indifference.



And of course a HAPPY HALLOWEEN to all of you.  I hope you have a great time and get all of the Tricks & Treats you wish for.

Don't forget tonight at midnite I draw the winner of the HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL JEWELLERY GIVEAWAY.  Sign up at the SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES post.

 Let the tour begin.  Here is part 1 of my Halloween House for SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES Blog Party.

At my house the Witch is always in!



Lots of black cats, ghosts, pumpkins and witch reside in my kitchen during the Halloween season.




A spell book, some potions and what a good Witch without her broom.





 Raven and Spiders and Bats "Oh My", this cute little Witch had better beware.



Every room is enchanted with the Witches magic touch for All Hallow's Eve.  My hat waits for the big night when the veil lifts and all of the spirits wander free for one mystical evening.





I made the SPOOKY sign for this Halloween from an old worn pine drawer.  My sweet Jack O' Lantern smiles at me every morning as if to say " It's coming, it's almost here".  Everyone gets dressed in masks at my house even the pumpkin and the pig.  Twinkly lights make the evening very enchanting as the dance off of the pumpkins.

I hope you have enjoyed Part 1 of my Halloween House Tour.  Part 2 is coming and pictures of the earrings and pendant for the HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL GIVEAWAY.


SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES PART 2!

Well, I finally fixed my photo download so let's conitinue the tour.......




My little vintage witch will show us the way to the outside.  Whoooo Goes There!  Oh, it's you.  It's cold out so let's have a cup of some hot brew and a cupcake or two.  Take a seat and warm up because we are heading outside after our treat.

Welcome to The Witche's Broom Inn.  The ravens stand guard watching for ghosts who try and steal their pumpkins in the night.


Pumpkins of every shape and size are gathered together to celebrate All Hallow's Eve.  A row of vintage Jack O' Lanterns line up for a Halloween Greeting to welcome all who visits the farm.




Witches hats blow in the wind and pumpkins light the windows it will be a Spooky Halloween here so " Come ine an sit a Spell".

Thus concludes our tour of my Halloween House.  It is time for me to go and practice a little Hocus Pocus so I am ready to greet all the little ghosts and goblins on All Hallow's Eve.
