The Witches Are In!



Hello, my little lovelies. 

  Glad you stopped by.




 The witches are in and accepting guests!

Hop in the basket with Cyrus,

We'll introduce you to some of our favorite friends.



There's always a jar full 

 of candy corn this time of year.




 Grab a handful and 

 let's continue on our way.





 No "snickering"!





 Or "popping" in and 

 out of the basket for more treats.





Matilda and Topsy 

 will greet you at the door.




 Miss Tilly is watching, 

 so mind your manners!





 Say hello to Cleo, who is known for her good deeds. She is a sweet, friendly soul who is everyone's friend. You can join her for afternoon tea here.






This trio loves to 

 hang around together.





 Meet Winnie and 

  her constant companions, Hootie . . .




 And Ruffles.



 Miss Agnes often sits around 

 reading witch stories this time of year.





 Pick your favorite and . . .




Gather round for a 

 little story time with Greta.





 Now aren't you happy you 

 dropped by today?

Come back another time to meet all the black cats that roam around these pages.

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    Sarah, I loved your "witches in" tour and took advantage of the candy as I read the posts. You have some cute whimsical witches and I love that you name them all. My favorites were Winnie and Hootie. I name my witches too -- who doesn't? Joni

    Hi Sarah,
    You have the best collection of witches that I've seen. Is Matilda a new addition to the gang, I don't remember seeing her before?
    Not panicking yet re the French strikes, hopefully all will be well on Thursday when we leave for the US.
    See you soon,

    Sarah, you just amaze me with your decorating for all the holidays! Where do you find all of your cute things? I love that little pumpkin with the hat. SO cute!

    I have missed you and am happy to finally be blogging again. I hope to do at least one post a week if I can get my server to cooperate. We're having issues with the one in St. Augustine, and it is SLOW. It's not conducive to blogging. I have an air card, but I accidentally went Waaaaaaaay over. LOL!

    Sending you big hugs.

    What a fun collection of friends you have! I have to say it's a toss up as whether Cyrus on that bike is my favorite, or maybe Matilda & Topsy~ what great names they all have! Your home around the holidays is definitely a "treat" with all your wonderful collections :-)
