Shall we take a walk in the woods?
Is it just me or is it getting a bit spooky...
Follow me over this wall...
and across the river...careful don't fall in...
whew, shall we take a rest? No, you are right, it looks as though no one has been here in a while. Best to keep moving.
What is up this path?
Oh my, I have heard stories about this place....
Do we dare look inside? Just a peek wouldn't hurt....right?
I have heard a gypsy witch lives here. It looks as though she isn't home, but we musn't stay too long, the candles are still burning and she could be back any minute.
Her apothecary! It is a bit eerie, shall we see if we can whip up a spell to liven up the place?
Ah that is better, a touch of color was all we needed.
Wait what is that!
Oh phew, I though it was her.
We are safe, but best to stop tinkering with these bottles. Let's see what else we can find.
Her table has quite a few treats. I am not sure if we should sample though....you never know what could be in them.
I have to say when it comes to potions I like her style...
Ugh, but her taste in garnish is questionable.
I am feeling a bit woozy from that delicious potion, are you? But I don't want to leave yet, we have not seen all there is to see. Ooh look, her fortune telling table...
Halloween is the night when our ancestors can speak to us...
and we can communicate with the beyond....
Don't worry, the Evil Eye will protect us.
Shhh....did you hear something? No? Ah well, shall I tell your fortune?
Wait, who are those creepy characters?
This witch does fraternize with an odd sort. Although her fellow is awfully handsome....
Did you see that?
I think I am starting to see things....
The magic is getting stronger...she must be coming back!
Yikes, time to leave!
Thank you for going on this magical adventure with me! I hope you have a happy Halloween.
And remember if you ever want to return to the Gypsy Witch's cottage, just follow the lights of the Fae...
And for more Halloween loveliness, head on over to the party at A Fanciful Twist, hosted by the amazing Miss Vanessa!
Fabulous party!! So beautiful!

What a great journey,
ReplyDeleteEverything looks lovely!
Did you make it out in time? That looked a close one. So brave of you to sample her concoctions, let's just hope you don't wake up tomorrow and find yourself turned into a frog!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way - her fellow is indeed most handsome!
Thank you for inviting us to share you magical journey - I especially liked the part where you waved your wand and spread some colour - very clever :)
The magic is strong. I, too, enjoyed her bottle designs. I thought the light fixture was made of hanging eyeballs.

Hehehehehhe, the gypsy witch's are in full swing tonight. Conjuring and casting and enchantments of all sorts. I loved it all. The photos were wonderful. I love the apothecary bottles and candlelight. And I loved your delightfully spooky tale. I expected to see that gypsy witch any moment. In fact Maybe I did see something in the shadows.
