I'm offering a wicked sweet giveaway to share in honor of Miss Vanessa's *fAbULoUs* and oh-so-magical annual Halloween party...
But first, would you like a treat?
I baked these myself - they're devil's food, of course (what else for a Halloween party?)How about joining me for tea? There's plenty to go around, especially in cyberspace, hehe...
Do you love the mug? It's one of my favorites, a gift from a collector last year, and I love how it magically depicts the Owens sisters from "Practical Magic" when the mug is heated.....Which reminds me, it's almost time to put that one in the Netflix queue again. Much to John's chagrin, there are some movies I really need to watch during the Halloween season, and this is one of them. ;)I think the Owens house is probably the best house-porn I've ever seen (with the cottage from "The Holiday" a close second)...I mean, how great is this kitchen???
*Drool*....That's the fantasy. Here's the reality - complete with retro (read "old") range, and steaming kettle of soup...
Now, where was I? Oh yes - tea....But maybe you'd prefer a stronger sort of brew with your cupcake?
TeeHee....Are you quite enjoying this Halloween blog-hop?
I must you the truth - as you read this, I'm actually out of town, so will have to do my visiting when I return. But I want to leave you with a little token of appreciation for your visit; this original, hand painted, Halloween trinket box...
No hoops to jump through, just leave a comment and you'll be entered to win. (If you don't have a blog, you need to leave your email so I can contact you!) The magical sorting hat (a.k.a. the random number generator) will pick a name next Saturday, October 23rd.In the meantime, I'll be back very soon with new photos and new work to share...
Happy Halloween!!
♥ Carolee

Hi Carolee!
What a wonderful posting! I would love to win this delicious treat box. Please put my name in the hat. I would love it if you would come visit my halloween party.
http://anaboocreationsbysylvia.blogspot.com/2010/10/fanciful-twist-halloween-party-and.html
Oh, I want to come over to your house and play. I love the "P.M." mug, beautiful and those cupcakes, well, they're simply to die for ;)
I love this! Please do enter my name in the contest. thanks so much, Barbara
It is an absolutely gorgeous kitchen, indeed. Lovely Halloween feeling here, Carolee. Do stop by a fortune teller's treat when you have the time.
Okay. Now I need to go make some cupcakes... and eat them all before anyone else finds out.
How wonderful! Thanks and Happy Halloween! ♥
Caroleeeeee!! Helooooooo! I am sorry I am late too. My yesertday is a bit of a blur ;) As you can imagine.
BUT, I would LOVE to be at your house for any party. I quite adore the look of your kitchen, and would love to have something out of one of your pots, while we chat, and watch your PM mug light up with heat. Does it do something like that?
I own Practical Magic, and I have to be careful not to watch it too much. SO I make myself save it all year for this time ;)
That along with all my other girly flick loves. I think I have seen them all so many times... I wish there would be another movie as such.
I too adore the Owens house. I read the article for the making of the movie... i have snippets somewhere, and i was floored to find that tht it was built for the movie and then torn down, EEEEEks!
I would be beside myself with glee if I could live in such a home....
I love verything you create, as you know ;) And your box is precious!! Devil's fooooood, yumm!
Thank you for always being such a kind soul, and for sharing the magic.
♥, Vanessa {A Fanciful Twist}

It's so cute! Practical Magic is one of my favorite movies too. Hope I win .It would be a great birhtday present ( mine is the 24th).
I love that cupcake box! my 12 yr old daughter has just learnt to make cupcakes and they get eaten up soooo quickly :o( but if I had that little box to hide one away just for me, for later... :o) LOL
I reeeeeeally hope your majickal sorting hat picks my name x
I just love these little cupcakes....but this one might top the real ones...LOL.....----erin
Thank you so much for the spooky cupcakes and tea. They cleared the cobwebs in my tummy very nicely. :)
Please do enter me to win your lovely, amazing box! I can think of no better treasure to keep potions and notions close at hand!
Beautiful Box, Carolee, yummmy! Cupcakes!!!
So cute. If I win do you include a cupcake too? lol
Put me in the contest too! :) I love the set of Practical Magic, too!! I have an old Victoria Magazine and pull that out when it's Autumn time. Wouldn't it be dreamy to have a kitchen that size and so full of possibilities? sigh~~~
I love this little box so badly it would be a perfect present for my graddaughter. Halloween is such a big deal for my family. My Mom was born on Halloween and so was my granddaughter.
Thanks Sandy
MMMMMM, want a cupcake! Please count me in for the giveaway cupcake box. Thanks. Marge L.
I would indeed like a treat - those cupcakes look divine!
Totally agree with you about the Owens' house. I studied to be an architect and one of the things I said to my husband was "That'll be our house someday you do realise, right?" lol!
This was the first time I've taken part in a blog party but it's been so much fun :)
http://modernwomans.blogspot.com/2010/10/something-witchy-this-way-comes.html
Wonderful box and I'd love one of those cupcakes! They're so pretty! When did you have time to decorate them? Hope you're enjoying these days before Halloween! We're having a party so come on over the day before the big three-one!
Hugs...Iva
Of course I'll leave a comment for a chance at that cute little box. I love the Owen's sisters' house too. You've got me thinking - what other cool movie houses do I like? Hmmmm.
Beautiful art , would luv to win the box and those cupcakes are just too cute to take a bite out of but if I was there I'm sure I couldn't resist them for too long.....Lovely post.
Happy Halloween!
