Welcome to my Tea Party

I so hope that you enjoy yourselves.... I am running behind please accept my sincerest apologies.... Any time I have guests coming I always feel that I am behind. I just want to make sure that your stay is a pleasant one.

Welcome, Welcome to my home! If you would like take a seat. The water is on to boil for tea, but if you would like something to munch on before the tea is ready feel free. There are a ton of goodies, for you.

I know it looks as if an army is going to be arriving..... Well, since the invitations went out and no one RSVP'd I wasn't sure how many people were going to stop by for tea and goodies.....

So I made chocolate skull candies, chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow cream frosting with chocolate bat picks, yellow cupcakes with a chocolate marshmallow cream frosting.

There are candy corn and mummy pretzels...... chocolate of course!!!

The harvest rice crispy squares are just to die for and the scary pumpkin brownie suckers.... Yummy......

I also made a delightful, skull spice cake..... But you know how the dead can sometime be..... He just didn't want to give up his head.... Camera shy I guess..... Oh, well whats a witch to do!

Thank you for asking me about the place setting, I was such a spendthrift with this.... Since this is the first tea party that I have hosted I needed to go and find dishes that were suitable. I stopped in at the local salvation army..... These lovelies were just waiting for me.... aren't they eerie?!? Well, turns out that I actually purchased a real china set from Japan. They are worth money and I bought them for pennies on the dollar..... I love being frugal!

I'm sorry the water didn't boil fast enough for you to have any tea.... I don't think the spiders would have been happy with a steam bath anyways.

If you like you could have a glass of wine... The ghoulish kind!

Before you leave please sign my journal.... that way I know to invite you again for next year's tea!

Gotta Run,

I'm Mad I tell ya

Mad as a hatter that is! I really should be doing the futterwacken but instead I have been busy shopping for the perfect accompaniments for the tea party! I am really excited to do this one. The monsters are looking forward to all of the goodies that I will be making for the party. Plus, I did need some new pretties to display for All Hallows Eve. There will be chocolates, cookies, cakes, puddings, candies, oh and I think just a cup or two of valerian tea. After all those sweets I will need something to help me relax and enjoy the party!

I purchased a red kuri squash today. I thought it was a great decoration. Now I know that is has a great chestnut flavor and will make a great soup. Thank you oh great and powerful internet for the knowledge you have bestowed upon me. LOL! Plus once I cut it open I will be saving the seeds from this squash also. The vendor had a few other squashes but they didn't fit in with the table scape that I have in my head so I couldn't see buying them without knowing what they were. I'm not that adventurous yet.

Well, I guess that's about it for today. Nothing overly exciting!

Gotta Run,

Yart
