Got nothing better to do?
Then come to my country estate for a Halloween party!
You'll be warmly greeted at the door.
Probably hugged to death!
And you'll be welcomed inside the house too!
Help yourself to a beverage.
Yes, there will be nachos!
Keep your eyes peeled for
spaghetti and meatballs too.
And save room for cupcakes!
But please refrain from snacking
on any of the other guests.
And in deference to my guest Joan of Arc,
no BBQ will be served.
The costumes will largely be sweet and innocent,
like Rapunzel here in her tower,
who will let down her hair for you.
And what is more wholesome than
Peter Pan and his shadow?
However, some costumes may be a little risqué,
like Babe Lincoln's . . .
. . . although there will be no nudity, I promise!
But what the hell, come to the party anyway!
I would love to come, but I haven't got a thing to wear!
ReplyDeleteOH! You say that's no problem?
that country estate looks like some of the houses around mistress maddie's neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteSure looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! Oh, that baby Rapunzel!!! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteBoy, you don't mess around when it comes to Halloween. But -- no pumpkin spice?
ReplyDeletePeter Pan and his Shadow is a great costume!
ReplyDeleteI'll skip the cupcakes though.
OMG - these are so funny, and I really, really adore the little baby octopus! You find the best stuff! What will I be doing this weekend? Eating candy I shouldn't be, watching Netflix, catching up on administrative tasks and reading. No scary stuff for me at all! Hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteBe sure to pass around body parts in a dark room: peeled grapes (eyes), cooked cold spaghetti (use imagination) bones from the butcher (bones) chicken livers, etc. We used to do this when we were kids.
ReplyDeleteI love a good party....I'll come as temptation!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't believe it till I checked - that book in the first picture really exists. It says: "these cats will feel like they're actually licking your face or nuzzling your ankles-so you'll have to stop yourself from trying to pet them! "
ReplyDeleteWe are going with our grandkids today to buy their Hallowe’en costumes. Should be fun. Wonder will we see any of these?
ReplyDeleteYour Halloween bash looks like fun and the baby octopus and baby Rapunzel are too cute for words! BTW, I'm stealing your cupcake idea for my Halloween Tea...
ReplyDeleteThat was so much fun, friend D :) I'll send this post on to my son and dil as they always do Carnival, Octoberfest and Halloween stuff :) Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteLove those costumes - Babe Lincoln, Rapunzel's Tower, Subway sandwich and those flashers are all brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHow long can we stay at your country estate?
ReplyDelete@ DEZMOND -- You can stay as long as you like or until I phone the police to evict you, whichever comes first!
ReplyDeleteWhat creative costumes! Rather than a costume, I will be dressed as witch - or as my real self, lol.
ReplyDeleteYour country estate looks lovely, m'dear!
I was chatting with a woman at the pool yesterday who once went to a party dressed as 'tan mom', if that moniker rings a bell.
ReplyDeleteI'm setting off now… might take a while to get there, though. Save me some cake.
ReplyDeleteThat last one is so damned good especially if you have a great body.
ReplyDeleteI love Halloween parties. The food looks good!
ReplyDeleteBaby Rapunzel is my absolute favorite with Peter Pan and his shadow coming a close second!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at "Babe Lincoln"!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. We are going on a get-together this weekend, uni friends of my wife, but sadly they are Christian and thus don't celebrate Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI'll be dressed as a pickle...
ReplyDeleteTHe Peter Pan!
ReplyDeleteThe Peter Pan!
And I would totally go to any party you host!
XoXo
Well I've already been to one like the last picture so I will just go to the regular kind. These were great Debra, lots of ideas to steal. ;)
ReplyDeleterapunzel is the best!
ReplyDeleteYou know a lot of great costume designers!
ReplyDeleteDo you suppose the little one in photo #9 is an Irish baby?
ReplyDelete@ Old Lurker -- Mr. Swift, your satirical humour is LOL-worthy.
ReplyDeleteHello Debra, I was having such fun sharing these that I almost forgot to comment! The Joan of Arc at the Stake has got to be the most clever of these, and of course I fell in love with all the baby ones!
ReplyDelete--Jim
I always enjoy seeing the different costumes
ReplyDeleteThose are outrageously funny. Love them.
ReplyDelete@Debs that would be two day tops then :)))
ReplyDeleteI don’t know where to begin. These are so good!!! You need to come to Fuengirola for our annual Halloween dinner at Meson Salvador!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I feel like I could make those cupcakes but when I try to frost them it would just turn out like schmears of pink blobs. No one would know it was supposed to be brains.
ReplyDeleteElsie
Some of these costumes are so much fun! I would love to attend a Halloween party. I've never been to one!
ReplyDeleteI love the subway baby!! So many cute costumes....I'd better get to work on mine. Thanks for the invite.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the invitation but I act badly in public and can't be trusted so I have to decline! lol
ReplyDeleteI will be there if only to turn that poor octopus child over to social services. That is abusive parenting.
ReplyDeleteOh I'll be there! I want some of those nachos!!
ReplyDeleteI only snack on guests when they're hot, single men. But Babe Lincoln did get me excited. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove Peter Pan and his shadow! Halloween is a really big thing over the Atlantic I guess. It's not so big here although it's taking off.
ReplyDeleteYou have outdone yourself this time. Love the subway baby and the 🐙 octopus....Lots of good ones there...Thanks for the giggles!
ReplyDeleteOh my God, there is nothing better than little kids in Halloween costumes!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Joan d'Arc costume? Genius!
This is a party I'd love to come to! The baby in the octopus costume is beyond cute! Some people are amazingly clever! Thanks for this post, Debra!
ReplyDeletei would love to come dear Debra :)
ReplyDeleteeach sensational tradition in your party is compelling :)
Deb, I'm coming! LOL! These costumes are brilliant! LOL! Love the food too! LOL! Wish you lived closer!! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAll of this is marvelous!
ReplyDeleteHow I would love to have a house dolled up like these !
Mmmm...cupcake brains...
ReplyDeleteBaby Rapunzel was too cute!
Great stuff!
