The Haunted Tea Party

Oh, hello there.  Are you here for my party?


  I feel like I've been waiting forever and yet no one else has arrived.


Do come in and sit down, can I interest you in a drink?  I have some lovely sherry.


No?  How about a piece of cake.


OH NO!  Coco do get down, our guest was just about to have that cake.


You are such a naughty dog.


Come on, back to mama.


That's better my darling boy, what am I going to do with you?


Oh our guest, I'd completely forgotten you were there, do excuse me.  Are you sure you wouldn't still like the cake? Me?  Oh no dear, I'm more than happy with my tea, thank you.


I don't suppose you could help me with something?  It seems like I've been waiting so long for people to arrive I've forgotten what the party was for.  Could you help me to remember?
 

Which parts can I recall?


The cook was busy in the kitchen preparing the cake.


She'd worked so hard on it, and practiced it so many times.


   I remember her telling me it was going to be the best cake she had ever made.



I remember all the people rushing around setting up the table, arranging the flowers.



I can still smell the roses.


It was all looking so beautiful and glistening in the candlelight.




It doesn't appear to be the same anymore, why is that?


What happened to the people, why does everything look so old?  I'm confused?
 

What else can I remember?  I think there was a man, but his name escapes me.  Do you know it?


Oh it's all so hazy.  There was excitement and joy but then anger, such rage and then pain and blood.  Why is there so much blood?  What....... Who...........



Oh, hello there, are you here for my party?

Oooh! Rachel! Such a beautifully spooky party you planned here today! I love your characters so much! And the treats were lovely (even the ones that had a couple of toothy marks on them, oh well!)

Biggest hugs to you and wishing you a wonderful and spooky Halloween!!!!

Oh dear....I think I may have the wrong house....I was looking for Miss Havisham....you remind me of her...but I believe I'm mistaken. Thank you for your generous invite to have cake and tea...but I'll be on my way now. Good doggie *attempts a pat on the head of Coco*

I am glad I am not reading your post late at night, all alone.
I want to compliment you on your makeup.
It still looks fresh.
However does Coco get up on that table?

Just fabulous! I love this tale and Miss Havisham's story is one of my favorites. You've done a spectacular job with the eerie tablescape and setting, also the pink bow on your dog is brilliant, lol! ';)

Ah, how delightfully Miss Havisham-esque! I have always admired her decor style! I have toyed with the idea of having a room like this if I have a large enough house one day!
Anne said…
Oooh, so spooky!! (Yes, I was going to say "Miss Havisham", too...I think your Dearie is Miss Havisham's cousin twice-removed!!) ;) Thank you SO much for visiting me, too, Dear! (Isn't it fun to connect on Instagram, as well!)
Have a wonderful week and the Happiest Halloween!!
