A Wicked Good Time
Good morning my friends. How was your weekend? Last Saturday my Witches’ Tea Party took place and we had a wicked good time.
My witchy friends were greeted with a welcome sign and a snake wreath (find the tutorial here).
And, of course, my house was transformed appropriately (I never pass on an opportunity to move and change things around), including a coffin where our dear friend Ezramelda (my hubbie named her, *giggle*) laid….
$2 DIY Coffin: 2 dollar tree foam boards, tape together (long ways), cut the ends to create coffin shape. Place on a coffee table and cover with a black or white sheet/tablecloth.
Poor thing donated her brains for us to snack on. =) {Melon and lime gelatin mixed with non fat condensed milk and poured into a brain mold.}
Our living room now overlooks a haunted graveyard. (Another Dollar Tree find!! Yay for Dollar Tree.)
Meghan, from the Go Girl Shoppe was so sweet to give me a pillow when I saw her last weekend at a festival.
I spruced up the photo gallery wall above the couch for the spooky festivity with “scared cat” cut outs and other embellishments. (I also have cut out bats for a “bat tree” and mice for the floor boards.)
My gilded pumpkins I made a few years back made a reappearance in my living room. This polka-dotted one might be my favorite.
They are also on my dining room table.
The velvet pumpkins I made a couple of weeks ago (you can find the DIY project here) were added to a vignette on my buffet with vintage witch bunting, my wicked quote (you can find here), and caramel apples party favors.
My guests and I enjoyed a breakfast casserole, “witches’ fingers”, pumpkin muffins, green punch with floating hands (lime sherbert with ginger ale and plastic gloves filled with water and frozen), and pumpkin lattes. Witches can’t live on brains alone! A couple of my darling witchy friends helped with the brunch. So, the Fourth Annual Witches’ Tea Party was spooktacular! COL (cackle out loud)

Hello. This is a delightful idea! Was wondering if you could give me sample of the menu? Or what would be a good witch tea time menu?
Thanks! There are so many clever ideas on Pinterest for Witches tea parties. I made potato salad sand”witches” with rye bread and arugula and then bought the “trick or treats”. I like using green and dark foods/sweets, zucchini bread, a bowl of olives or grapes. I also have a brain jello mold that I add sometimes!
