Witch's Tea Party

Frosted Petunias


It is time for lovely Anna's tea party!  This magical event is found at Frosted Petunias and I hope to visit each and every party over the weekend because it promises to be the perfect celebration for the halloween season!


The first thing required at my party is decorations, so I glittered the word BOO and hung it by crystal chandelier chains over an antique mirror.





Then I prepared a special treat:  vanilla butter pound cakes.  They are rich, dense, and oh so moist!  I will share the recipe with you later this week.






Trust me when I say this is one recipe that you don't want to miss out on!






Now I need to say my special incantation to make tonight's beverage.






Mmmmmm, glowing apple cider.






I just need to get my costume ready before the festivities begin.






I hope no one disturbs the table before my guests arrive.






Hey, get your hand away from the candy before the party starts!  She tried to get my pink turtle cookies earlier this week.  Better keep an eye on this chick - she was NOT on the party list. 

I invited some "interesting" members of my family,






along with some dear friends.






I told everyone to bring along their black kitties - it is a plus one invite.






My kitties Ya Ya, Claude Monet, and Nugzie will be there for sure! 

And what would a party be without some hot guys.  I am expecting Vlad, Frankie, and Jack.







I also have plenty of free parking for brooms.






I got out my best set of tea cups and so everyone can choose their own.






I also thought we could carve pumpkins.






I have been watching Halloween Wars on the Food Network and feel inspired to try something more challenging for this year's pumpkin.






I think we will do the pumpkins outside in the garden - it is so beautiful this time of year.






I will put candles in the trees.






And light a fire to keep everyone warm.






I hope the ghosts don't show up this year.  They are one rowdy bunch, and hard to get rid of.






I see that some of my INVITED guests have arrived.






They like to giggle and tell secrets.






Sometimes one of them brings a crystal ball and they tell fortunes. 







It looks like the ladies have spotted the guys - or is it something else?







This crew is a little early - they can come back on November first.





I hope you enjoyed my Witch's tea party and I would love to have you stop back often!  Wishing you a magical halloween from the enchanted oven and friends.

    What a party, interesting family members always make the party hot and the hot guys always make the party interesting, don't they? I love your carving ideas--totally sweet, and the guests are sooo beautiful.

  32. Wow! What a great party! Loved all those cookies! And I want that pound cake recipe, please. Everything was very festive. The guys were indeed hot. I'm petite so for me Frank was too big, Jack was too small and Vlad was just right. By the way, is Vlad single?

    Thanks for having me over. I didn’t join the Tea Party but I did write a bit of Flash Fiction in time for Halloween.

    Come on over and check it out at:

  37. Such a unique theme and all the arrangements are also amazing. I had just great time watching all these photos here. At some local indoor party venues in Chicago we also had fabulous Halloween bash. The venue offered great services for this fun party.
