My Halloween Tree and an invitation....

As some readers guessed we are finally going to have the wedding tomorrow. Hattie tells everyone she has finally mended her ways and will really try to be a good witch, more on that at a later date.

It's almost All Hallows Eve, we had better get this party started. This is my Halloween Party room box I made in 2009 for a blog hop party.

 A spooky spider I made this year for my Halloween Tree. If you would like to see pictures of how the tree looked last year when I started it you can visit that blog post here.

I have added a few more decorations this year and will add more next year. I allot myself a day to make new decorations or I would never get things done in real life LOL.

My little display in the dining room this year ~

Looks like we have people gathering at Vulture's Roost. Look at those fancy hats, it must be a special occasion ~

The crowd seems to be growing ~

It looks like a party! Everyone is here. Will someone please untie Harry Houdini so he can get a drink? 

What is the Doctor going to say? He seems to be trying to quiet the crowd down.  Is that Big Foot?

Marie tells the dragons shhhhhh, quiet ~

The Doctor announces The Count has just arrived, it won't be long now ~

This guest has had way too much to drink ~ I love this, it is a wine stopper.

The Count has arrived. Has anyone seen the bride?

To be continued..........

The people in this story are not real ~
People are never real except after midnight ~

Join me tomorrow for a little Halloween wedding.

Hugs,

A lesson in Dragon feelings....

Oliver has decided what needs to be done for the dragons, leave it to a wizzard to know what to do in any situation. Oliver tells Marie and the Doctor he needs to talk to the dragons in privacy. Marie and the Doctor tell Oliver they will be down in the parlor if he needs them. 

Oliver begins to speak to the dragons in a language not known to any man, the dragons seem to understand and start telling Oliver a most interesting story. Vivian tells Oliver that Hattie told them that no dragons will be allowed to attend the wedding. Vivian and the little dragons have been looking forward to the wedding as there are not many chances for the dragons to get out. Oliver assures Vivian and the wee dragons that they will certainly be welcome at the wedding and they were some of the first added to the guest list by Marie and Katrina the wedding planner. Oliver sends word for an old friend to pay Hattie a visit....oh my.  

A huge dragon lady barges in the door of 3 Moons..."Hattie" she bellows.

She looks mad and means business.

How dare you tell the little dragons they can't attend your wedding which is being paid for by Marie and Nigel who have been so understanding of your situation, you have never even uttered a word of thanks for their charity.

It was just a big joke, honest. I didn't really think they would take it so seriously. Please don't hurt me!

I  don't want any more trouble from you Hattie. If you want to attend your own wedding I suggest you rethink how you treat others. I want you to tell the wee dragons they are welcome at the wedding and they get to be in the wedding.

Will there be a wedding? Will Hattie be able to hold on to The Count if he finds out how evil her heart is? Is Hattie really rotten to the bone? So many questions, so few answers......

None of the people in this story are real.

People are never real except after midnight ~

The Dragon Lady was created by Maria Kelly a dear friend of mine.

Stay tuned for another story soon........

Stay safe my eastern friends.

Bog Schnargle and sick dragons ~

When we left you Marie was hurrying to answer the door. Who is the strange little creature at the door?

"I am so relieved you have come, hurry we must get upstairs to the Dragon room. The Doctor is already here and nothing he has tried has worked, the poor dragons are sick and I fear the worst. Hurry Oliver !!!

Oliver is a Bog Schnargle Wizzard made by Nicky CC.

Upstairs in the Dragon room Oliver examines the sick dragons. Oliver asks Marie how long the dragons have been in this state of ill health, Marie explains it started about the time Hattie started working at 3 Moons Potions and Notions. What could this have to do with the dragons being sick?

The poor dragons have not ate in days and just lay huddled together, they seem so sad.

Viviane looks like she is going to cry. Stay tuned as the mystery unfolds.

The Halloween drawing will be for this Kat the Hat Lady witch hat! You may comment on this post to be in the drawing plus any other drawings you were in this month the names will be added too.

Marie answers the knock at the door. Doctor, I have been expecting you. Please come on in and rest your weary body, you have had a long journey. Marie and the Doctor go in the house.

What have we here? Who could this strange creature be?

He turns to glance at us, he doesn't look quite human to me...

He knocks at the door. I hear footsteps coming towards the front door..... to be continued.

I wanted to share my angry jack o' lantern made by Blake of A Bohemian Bazaar. His work is most excellent. Thank you Blake :)

Thank you Irina! and Giveaway reminder ~

I received a surprise package from Irina who's blog is Narina Napertaa. When I opened the package I found a Christmas wrapped box with a note on top. I was glad to read it was a  joke not to open till December 23. If you know me you will know it would send me to a real asylum if I had a package I had to wait that long to open :)

The wrapping had bears! And Irina wrote me a real letter, I have not had a real letter since my Great Aunt died, what a treat.

I tore open the package to find a box, I had already read in the letter that this was a wedding gift for Hattie. 

In the box for Hattie was a bag of...........

Hattie's gifts! She loves everything Irina!

The package contained these sweet books, this one is Healing Herbs

It opens and you can actually read the pages! Beautiful work Irina!

And another book!

This book as beautiful as the first. Thank you so much Irina, Hattie had nothing of her own. This is a nice start to her household.

I will be back later with a little story and the winners of the Owl and Dragon drawing.

Hugs,
Victoria

I got a few comments on this strange visitor at the door so I thought I would explain his costume or clothing . This costume is a replica of a Plaque Doctors outfit actually worn by Doctors in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. The costume was made by a UK artist who uses the name KC. I have provided a little history from Wikipedia below.

I will be back later with a story and some Halloween cheer :)

Hugs,
Victoria

A plague doctor  was a special medical physician who saw those who had the bubonic plague. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, some doctors wore a beak-like mask which was filled with aromatic items. The masks were designed to protect them from putrid air, which (according to the miasmatic theory of disease) was seen as the cause of infection. The protective suit consisted of a heavy fabric overcoat that was waxed. A wooden cane pointer was used to help examine the patient without touching. [from Wikipedia]

A little story and some Winners ~

Good Evening! I first have a silly little story and then the winners of draw # 4. Thank you for your kind comments, I am feeling a bit more human today. Annie has been out in the compost pile eating cucumber peels so life is good LOL. On to my story and then the Winners, I know you will just scroll down to check first but that is fine with me. On with our story...

When we were last at 3 Moons Hattie was stuck on the roof. Nigel scaled the wall and grabbed Hatttie from the roof. Safe inside the shop we find out the young witches made Hattie's broom disappear  from under her when she was taking a little ride. Young witches and wizards are not allowed to practice magic until they are throughly schooled. Bad news for Tiffany and Ella , Minerva was there to witness this little faux pau...oh my. Nigel makes sure Hattie is intact after falling 100's of feet from the sky.

Minerva gives the young witches a good talking to...hope this sinks in.

Tiffany and Ella apologize to Hattie and promise they will never do this again... Hattie assures the girls she was once a young witch and having a wand and knowing spells is mighty tempting.

At Vulture's Roost there is a strange person at the door, I hope he isn't wearing this because I have a cold. Stay tuned to see who knocks at the door.........

And the Winner of the Owl giveaway is Fabiola! Congratulations Fabiola! Please contact me through my etsy shop with your address :) Dark Squirrel

The Winner of the House of Miniatures Desk kit is Rebecca Young! Congratulations Rebecca! Please contact me through my etsy shop.

That is it for now. I will be back later or in the morning with the new drawings.

Hugs,
Victoria
