Halloween Surprise Party

Our crafty witches convened again for a

fabulous night of dining and fun!

Not all in our little coven of crafty witches

enjoy Halloween, and that little witch happened to

be the hostess!  As I arrived at the house with

my dessert, she even made some disparaging

remarks about how she was relieved my

dessert wasn't some Halloween related dessert!

Imagine our surprised delight as we walked

outside and found the "barn" brimming

with fun Halloween trimmings!  

The surprise was definitely on us!

For someone who doesn't like Halloween,

she went all out - that wicked little witch -

and created a Halloween masterpiece for

our table and setting.

The table was covered with Halloween fun,

from the old clock with the crow on top

to the velvet mini pumpkins everywhere.  I

think I counted 25 of these gorgeous

minis on the table.

Looking up, the ceiling was draped and swathed

in gorgeous netting and the chandy was bejeweled

and surrounded by fun Halloween decorations.

Our Halloween houses that we crafted last year

stood atop her fun chest of drawers, which she

leaves out there.

There literally was something to see 

in every direction.  It was another party

masterpiece.

The mood was set by tons of black candles,

which slowly dripped into beautiful

sculptures all night.

Here is another fun clock she decorated 

the table with, and a view of her bounty

of mini velvet pumpkins.

We drank Swamp Water with our meal - what 

else would you serve for a Halloween meal?

It is so easy and refreshing!

The Swamp Water was served in these great

smokey black goblets that she got at Dollar Tree.

The vintage looking Halloween cats were found

this year at Wal Mart!

She made darling pinwheels on sticks

which sat under our napkins.  We each got

to take home a pinwheel stick and a pumpkin.

I am going to post about the fun

Witch Mannequins you can see in

the background.  At our last craft dinner,

we all made our own. They were all so different

and fun.  Joanne, not being a Halloween person,

made one for our friend Jann, who had just

had surgery.  Surprise, surprise when she

had dressed two for tonight's dinner!

She is full of fun and surprises.

As always we each bring a part of the meal and

I made this French Peach Pie in canning jars.

At first, I was sure glad I hadn't made anything

HALLOWEEN-ISH!!  It was the perfect fall dessert

and even went with her Halloween table.

We were missing a couple of Witchy Women

this night, but I sure am thrilled to be 

invited to be a part of such a talented

and delightful group of crafters and

partyers!

It has been a busy, fun filled week here at

Purple Chocolat Home

as Beaulah has come out to play for

another year!  Joni - I can hear

Zoulah, rattling in her box, anxious

to be let loose for some Halloween fun!

and Drewcilla, our flying witch, went up

on her bicycle to hover in the sky for another

month of fun.

Looking forward to more Halloween fun!

(My computer crashed - it is always something,

isn't it?!!  So we wondered if there would be

no partying, but my sweet niece got the old

girl up and running again - whew!!)

I will be joining
