Witches, Witches Everywhere - Gardner Village & A Giveaway

WITCHY WOMAN

Have you noticed that witches have

taken over Purple Chocolat Home?

There are not many witches dressed up in

PINK

PINK

PINK

But as you can see, Witch Jacqueline is one of them.

I love dressing up in costume - must be the theatrical

part of me - and I love hosting Halloween Parties.

I think we have hosted parties 29 out of 31

years of marriage.  Actually, our first date was

on Halloween night, and we both dressed up and

went disco dancing at the Star Palace in town.

Gardner Village, in the Salt Lake area brings

out their witches every year.  These ladies are

pretty grand.  They appear mid-September and

are set amid the quaint old homes and mill that

make up the shopping and restaurant at Gardner

Village. 

You can sit next to them and have your picture taken.

Or just wander around and marvel at

their size (especially the noses,

chins and bustlines!)

Whoa, take a gander at those honkers.

There is nothing petite about these gals, let me

tell you.

This one is part of a circle of gals that spin round

and round.

This one has flown up into a tree.

This big gal is trying to direct the air traffic,

guess she didn't do so well.

They are literally peaking out of everywhere.

The little one on the right belongs to me,

she's a live one!

This witchy-poo is hiding in a barrel of blankets

outside of a quilt shop.

Drewcilla would love riding with this witch.

If you didn't catch Drewcilla, she is our bicycling

witch that goes up each October, and yes she

really pedals and she lights up at night.

This little lady and I should open up shop together.

They have fun things going on all October.

Click here to see what's happening if you

are going to be in the area, or if you want

to get creative and bring it to your area.

They have:

Breakfast With The Witches (meet

the witch royalty, they sing and dance

and bring the kids up on stage - it's a party!),

Ride With Witches (ride on the back of a vintage

truck and hear stories from a witch),

Witches Night Out (costumes and dancing-

absolutely a blast and you will never

see more elaborate costumes all

in one place - tons of fun)

Witch-A-Palooza (a theater production)

Extreme Witch Make-over (get your make-up done)

and more.

Before I leave you to fly off somewhere,

I just need to take one minute more and

introduce you to their cast of characters -

The Witch Royalty.

These are the lovely witches that will entertain

you throughout the activities of the month.

(Yes, I was tempted to try out this year to

be one of them!)

They sing, they dance, they make you laugh,

and they pose for pictures too.

So fly your broom over to Gardner Village if you are in town.

We'd love to have you drop by.

Hug, hug, kiss, kiss!

Now, Beaulah, don't get mad just because

you are not the only witch in town. (Do you notice

the resemblance?) 

See her twin sister Zoulah over at

Red Couch Recipes where she

has already cooked up a storm for Halloween.

I tell you, Beaulah is the lazy twin!

I will be sharing this on

Pink Saturday.
