It's practical magic
And charms and spells
A candlelit evening
Which we can foretell
Many witches will join us
And warlocks will too
We don’t fear their presence
They’re long overdue
The party lights twinkle
Glass and silver shine
With the glow of candlelight
On this magical night
Our spellbook is open
To what we will brew
Where spells become wishes
That just might come true
Rosehips and tea leaves
Mugwort, verbane
Be not afraid
Of the dip with the brain
Ghostly concoctions
To gobble and chew
Mummy dogs and black punch
Will be waiting for you
This spooky evening
Is so hauntingly fun
We’ll party and revel
Till we see the sun!
It's holiday time at our hostess of everything Halloween, Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist! To see all of the partiers, go HERE.
Thank you darling Vanessa, for hosting such a fun party every year!
I'm also linking up to Nita's Mod Mix Monday #21, and Kim's Wow Us Wednesday #37 at Savvy Southern Style!
Love, smooches and magical dreams to everyone,
xo, Andrea

What camera do you use to get such great dark, candle shots. I'm on the hunt for a new one. Love the candles in bottles.

This is awesome. What wonderful Halloween decor. I love the glowing candles and all the layering.

I love the candlelight reflecting in the mirror. Hauntingly beautiful. I had to laugh at the crazy ladies book that your teapot sits on top of. I do want a sip of that tea!

So spooky, so enchanting, I loved every shot!
When you get back on your broomstick swing by my blog - I'm serving brain tonic and three witches brew. Mildred the spider will give you a ride to the river where you can pick up a boat that will take you on one magical adventure.
Have fun visiting all of the parties today.

Beautiful! I love your decorations and I am envious of your feather wreath. I have been trying to purchase one for years but I can't make myself pay so much for one and by the time they go on sale, they are sold out within minutes! Wonderful party post!

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! That first photo with the glass bottles, the candles and the skulls made me gasp out loud, it is so beautiful.
I think I'd want to keep it like that for a lot longer than Halloween.
