HERE it is....THE DAY BEFORE HALLOWEEN, 2010
**
Several friends emailed to ask if I would
repost this HALLOWEEN tidbit...
so HERE 'TIS....
*
This has always been one of my favorite holidays...
I so enjoyed it as a kid.....then...with my kids...and now.....GRANDkids...
*
*
******My mother and my AUNT LILLIAN always dressed me up as a gypsy woman...
A scarf around my long black hair, lots of eye makeup and lipstick..Oh, I was lovin' this at the age of 7 and 8....
lots of jewelry, long skirt.....I felt just beautiful.....
*******

"The day is often associated with orange and black, and is strongly associated with symbols like the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o'-lanterns, pranking people, reading scary stories, and watching horror movies."
*******
Yes, I always dressed like a gypsy woman....i always thought they were so pretty....
****
BUT...FOR THIS PARTY....
......IT'S SUPERGIRL....with the shapely legs and tiny feet.....

MISS LUCY LOOSE is our guest of honor at this part of THE party...
come on it and join us before a nice, warm fire in the FRANKLIN wood burning stove...
We have our table right in front of the fire so you will stay warm...it turned COLD
out here in West Texas...
(well, for THIS day, anyway..a cold front blew thru and right on to somewhere else)
remember...this was 2009
I've set the table in the grandest of HALLOWEEN magicalness....
NEVER, NEVER anything scary....OH, NO...NEVER SCARY !!

We like "fun and colorful"
for HALLOWEEN....

MARSH chose a chair right in front of that roaring, comfy fire....
***
OH, here's MARSHMALLOW GHOST-WANNA-BE...
we're so glad you could come and join in this fun party, MARSH.....

Oh BJ, what a cute party! Thanks so much for including us at MM. :)
Good morning BJ. Your Halloween party is wonderful and lots of fun. Marsh might be in a dangerous spot right next to the heat. LOL. Your table looks so festive and I adore that beautiful pumpkin. It looks magical. Beautiful tablescape for Halloween. Can Halloween be beautiful?? Your bet your Sheila witches brew. I too think being a gypsy queen is pretty. No wonder you are full of fun and joy. Your mom and aunt passed it on to you. I love that about you BJ. Yes, I have to tell you, visiting your posts is one of the pleasures of my day.
Thanks for being you and bringing many others a smile each day.
Love you, xoxo, Jeanne
Hi BJ...your post is delightful...every single part of it.
Mine will have to wait....I am sick. :-(
Thanks for entering my giveaway....you are the best!!!
Barb ♥ Oh, I love your music!!
Good morning BJ, What fun! I love your tablescape. It's hauntingly beautiful! Your Halloween outfit is a hoot LOL and your ghost and pumpkin are just darling. Happy Halloween!
Morning fellow Texan!
I noticed you visited and left a comment... but didn't enter for my Pumpkin Head Box giveaway. Just making sure that you saw it.
I always love reading your stories that go along with your cute pictures.
Your Superwoman costume is really cute... but I wouldn'd say those shoes are exactly small!
BJ, you are SO funny! Loved the "Thriller" background music. BTW, I was a gypsy once, too! Do you think that's why we travel around in caravans as bloggers??? ;-)
Did you ever figure out what to do the BR? I abandonned my projects for the time being. My brain feels too muddled to try to figure out some of the details. LOL! I'd rather be blogging.
Love to you...
XO,
Sheila :-)
I swear BJ, you can make a tablescape to match any holiday we have! This is a cute one, I don;t like the scarey creepy decorations at Halloween just the cute ones and yours are cute!
Bj-Everything is so cute! Is that an old sewing machine I see? Good luck on the wreath. I bought mine and added to it. I always say I was born without the craft gene :) Thanks for stopping by!
Supergirl never looked so good!
Now that's a party I'd love to attend BJ, looks lovely and fun! I would go as a witch, of course!!! But more a Samantha witch than the other...no green skin for me! And I see you as Superwoman year round, not just now!!!
Sandi
Oh, did I spy a sewing machine table in one of those photos? You're full of fun and good cheer, despite the cold blowing through! I know it makes my dogs frisky!
Brenda
I found you from the fiberdoodles party list...what a fun post! I like all the personality that came through. And of course all the pictures. GREAT!
