So much to do before the guests arrive!!!!!!!

A skelly garland hung on the mantle with care....

and a bowl of fixings shall fill the room with autumn scents.....

cage the crow so she's not bothering the guests....


a couple of well-placed decorations....

Oh, I have to remember to put my hat and shoes away before the guests arrive!!!

the wine is chilled and ready to serve...

and I'm so happy the pumpkin tree is in bloom for the occasion...

the centerpiece is on the table (that blonde in the background is always the first to arrive)...

Is the butler at the door ready to greet the guests?
Wonderful, then let our guests in!

Costumes weren't required, but I appreciate the effort...

Flowers? for me? how very thoughtful...

The guests of honor have finally arrived. Let the festivities begin!
And this is just the beginning. The festivities continue in grand style with several Halloween Parties, hosted by the fabulously magical Vanessa, of
A Fanciful Twist.
Come party-hop with me, won't you?
