Halloween...Not Too Far Away.

Looking out my blogger window I've noticed that other bloggers are anticipating Halloween's arrival. I am so very excited, as Halloween is my favorite holiday.

 A friend called me the other day and said that she had a gift for me. I couldn't imagine what it could be.

 Oh my goodness...It was  four wondefully decorated witches hats. Just look at the detail on this one. 

 They all are amazing, as far as I'm concerned.

 I think that this one is my favorite...then again, they all are.

 There was even a table display. I think that I'm going to put orange, yellow celophane in the windows for a more dramatic effect.

She also included three half masks....Wow! what an amazing gift.

I have a great start on my Halloween decorations. What do you think?

Fascinators..

A Fascinator is a headpiece. The word originally refered to a fine, lacy head covering. Bigger than a barrette, modern fascinators are commonly made with feathers, flowers

or beads.

In modern usage, it referes to a  woman's alternative to a hat for formal attire; it is usually a large hair decoration on a band or clip with elaborate trimmings and decoration like a formal hat and can incorporate a base to make a

miniture hat.

They can be worn towards the front of the head or

on the side.

These are my creations
