Happy Halloween week!
Do you like spooky stories?
How about when you were young?
When I was about 8 years old I had a friend that had a grandmother that was so good at telling spooky stories. I loved visiting in the evening, laying on the floor covered by a blanket as she turned the lights down low and told us the best, scariest stories. I would be shaking and covering my head in terror, but at the same time I looked forward to it. I loved it!
I wish I could remember the stories, but just the idea of that time in my life brings a smile to my face.
I actually think she would have been scolded by the parents for telling us the stories, but what a treat.
Were there bad dreams, maybe!! I won't tell.
Do you like spooky stories?
Just for the fun of it, I am reading a witchy story this week.
Will there be some sleepless nights? I don't think so.
I once had a dolls head similar to this. My grandson made me hide it because it scared him so much.
I guess it could be a little creepy. What do you think?
I love the whimsy of this season. A time when goblins come out to play. Play is good for the soul. It lightens the dark nights. Hoping you find time to play and lighten the dark nights. Maybe light some candles and make some hot apple cider to lighten the darkness and see a glimmer of the stars.
Sending love,
Marilyn

I have an artist friend who did a whole book with a series of decapitated doll heads. Some cute -- some not-so-cute. I do have one that I won in a giveaway -- a little porcelain one. I should get that out for Halloween, though she doesn't look so scary!
I'm not at all fond of ghost stories and spookiness. I enjoy most the little ones who come to my door dressed up as someone or something from a story. One year a sweet girl showed up in a crown and a paper bag and was tickled when I mentioned the Paper Bag Princess book.
