Welcome to our little Halloween soiree...
Spiders add crunch and spice to the pumpkin soup!
Party favors for everyone!
Who knew food looked so awful in sepia? The apple tart looks like cauliflower, scary and creepy!!!
Please enjoy the pumpkin soup with spicy spiders, the apple tart, and spider web cupcakes. Don't forget to take home your little white pumpkin, beaded spider, sparkly silver wand and mask.
Please check out all of the other Halloween posts at A Fanciful Twist in my favorites. A great big thank you to Vanessa for orchestrating this world wide spooktacular.I can't believe this is my 98th blog post and I just started blogging in July '08. I am so grateful to everyone for stopping by and reading about the mundane minutia of my life. I have made some incredible friends and have been so inspired by your blogs and creativity! Because I am afraid that no one will come back to read the 100th post, I am doing a 98th post GIVEAWAY!!! The GRAND PRIZE is a treasure chest full of vintage beauties and wonderful surprises. Please leave a comment on this post and I will draw the lucky winner on Wednesday, Oct. 22nd. Thanks for coming and have a happy Halloween!!!
Your Pal,
Linda

WOW, 98!?!! That's exciting and I guess it helps that the post ended with a picture of a cupcake...mmmmmmm...;0)
I am glad you started blogging. Your minutia is quite interesting really...
Happy 98th!
Your blog is a big inspiration for me and my nostalgic side. I love your Playlist selection. Unfortunately I can't add music to my blog unless I upgrade, boohoo!!... Did your daughter take the photos? They came out wonderful, I love the sepia tint to make the photos look old and antique.
Oh, pick me! Linda, pick me! I LOVE your blog and visit often. - Teresa

Cute pics! I am so impressed! Darling..can you come and do that at my house? haha..i am so glad I met you Linda!!
Your Pal,

Linda, this feast looks postively spook-tacular! A veritable boo-fet! A feast for the eyes... you are right about the sepia, I would not have thought it though if you hadn't pointed it out!
Almost 100 posts! Congratulations. It is an accomplishment in a short period of time, you have the commitment.
You throw the coolest soiree ever! I'd love to have a seat at your table!
I bet we'd have such fun!
We could talk over French memories!
Ooh la la!
Becky
That star wand is the best!! I could take that to the grocery store, and those old ladies would get outta my way! :) I'll be right here for your 100th post with bells on! Wouldn't miss it! ~PJ
98 is a great number- "we should be so lucky" as my make believe Jewish gramma would say.!!Well, I hope I'm lucky!!

What a lovely table you set. Hmmm what goodies you share even if they aren't as eye appealing in sepia! Your decorations however, look fabulous.
If your head is spinning from all of the spells at the various parties, swing by my place for some brain tonic and three witches brew. Vincent Price is waiting to read you a story. Do stop by!
Happy {early} Halloween!

Thanks for the party food-delicious spider web cupcakes-mmmm!
You're way more prolific than I am!! I started blogging in March of this year and have just crawled on my hands and knees to my 99th post.
Anyway, congratulations, and here's to 98 million more of your lovely posts.
And would you be interested in swapping a simple knitted scarf (my skill level) for some of those divine beaded spiders?
Crunch? You must be using different spiders than I do, mine are pretty mushy. And you're right, gray apples don't have the same apple, do they.
Nice to meetcha. I'll be back!
ALMOST 100!!! FAB!! Okay, I can't breathe, that is where i want to live, that is where I want to be!! Hauntigly wonderful, awesome table setting!!! Cackle Cackle!!
oh, I hope it's me! first saw your creative self in Home Companion (and am devastated that it will no longer be around:() and have really enjoyed reading your blog and seeing all of your ideas and collections! Keep up the good fun!

Hello Linda! Thanks for visiting my blog. Nice to meet you! Mmm I liked that pumpkin crispy spider soup. Do you cook the spiders or do you put them in at the very last moment, I want to have them crispy too, you know...I'm visiting a lot of Halloween party goers now so I don't have time to check your blog, I liked this post very much. But I will be back and yes that is a thread!
Have a nice day!
