My love of Halloween comes from the creativity and fun I have had reading children's literature. I can still remember the first Halloween themed chapter book I read in grade school. It was called The Resident Witch by Marian T. Place. It was so different than other books because all the rules of human existence were altered. Creativity grew to new levels in each chapter. I will approach Halloween in this manner on my blog. I will have fun with it and think outside the box of my normal decorating and tablescapes in a childish way. So, if a witch had a tea cupboard what would she keep in it?
I can imagine she flew by some bittersweet vine in the forest and it got stuck to her broomstick. So she brought it home and used it to decorate her tea cupboard.
Leaves and even acorns get caught in her hair on her flights at night so she pulls them out and puts them on top of her tea cupboard too. Oh, and bats hang out in her lampshades.
She has been hard at work in her garden tending herbs for medicinal uses.
She keeps her milk and sugar on top of her book of spells along with some harvested pumpkins and some unidentified berries.
And at last she has her tea set on the ready for when unexpected guest pop in.
And of course she has a candle ready for when the lights go out. Which happens a lot around here.

Your halloween tea cabinet looks great - very creative. I hope you won't mind if I steal the bat in the lampshade idea. I love your blue and white china teaset.
Luv it, luv it! Your cupboard perfect and your display fits perfectly.

Sherry,
you filled all this nice pictures with the story - that is so charming. I imagine a cute little witch and I am shure she would have fun with your cupboard. Love the bats in the lamp.

Now I don't dare covet that witch's tea set -- she might turn me into a frog!
Beautiful and adorable post!
My daughter got into Halloween lit with Ruth Chew stories -- first one, The Witch's Buttons!
I love children's lit, still, and can't wait to have grandkids to read it to.

Hey Sherry! Ummmm....where's the eye-of-newt and hair of the gremlin? lol! Man....that bat lamp brought back some scary memories of my latest bat saga that happened in my house this summer. Oooooo weee! Darling vignette, though!
xoxo laurie
How cute! I love the witch's cupboard and the accompanying story. You are so creative, girl!!!
Oh, I love this post...I have always loved Halloween. My mom and my aunt always made it so much fun...there was never..NEVER any mention of Halloween being evil. They dressed me up and went Trick or Treating with me...my aunt had the BEST Halloween party for me when I was 10. Wonderful memories!! I actually remember more fun Halloweens when I was a young child than I do fun Christmases....thanks so much for the fun time here...:)) boooooo
Now, I can't wait for Halloween postings....
I really like that little white cabinet and I bet you have a lot of fun decorating it for all of the holidays. I enjoyed seeing your Halloween display and reading your witches tale.
