Well, I love Halloween as everybody knows and I love Patience Brewster and I love my Joyce Shelton candle stick holders from 4 years ago in the shop!<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
I know that LOTS of my customers have these candle holders (because we sold LOTS of them) so take a look at how cool they look with the Patience Brewster Witch Feet Cake Stand! Seriously, it's like Joyce and Patience planned it! <br />

MoonStruckGifts.com's customer Susan Hoskins purchased 3 little kitchen witch dolls from us and proceeded to "doll them up" by adding all kinds of glitter and ribbon and embellishments. (2 of the witches were exactly alike when she got them.) </div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
When she was done with the "make over" she attached the trio to a spinning mobile and plans on using them as a focal point for her Halloween decorating!</div>

I thought we'd have a little lesson in painting Wicked wine glasses. I sell lots of them in the shop - both the simple design you see pictured here and the more intricate design with the painted base.<br /><br />The secret to painting words on a glass is simple - Pick out a cool font, type the word "Wicked" or whatever word you want to paint and size it to be about 2 inches wide. Print the word out and then cut it out close to the top and sides. Put a little scotch tape on the piece and tape it to the inside of the glass so that the word reads from the outside of the glass. Then just paint the word on the outside </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511667222429313298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1SwNMNkmif8xzRljWtaGDW2hDv22pd9I_yMjlsTxx_X46x-2Fq2raHqQB9fwTrKD1fXEC6KlAGuVWJEgqKvKSZ6L0eMt8XI1l4ayPNOJxXCtqd6t35fGgUgnpD8RjB15eVEKzg_h2N8A/s200/yhst-25348628591023_2117_27172510.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 200px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 134px;" /></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 85%;">of the glass "tracing" the taped image. If you're using black paint, print the word in another color like green so you can see the difference between what you've painted and what you haven't.<br /> <br />I use Liquitex Glossies for paint - it's more expensive than the Enamels brand you can find at Michael's, but I paint a lot of glasses. There's nothing wrong with Enamels, just make sure you don't let the paint get too thick or it becomes really hard to get nice smooth lines. Most important - Get a good brush! </span><span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">It's all about the brush! </span><span style="font-size: 85%;">Then you bake the glass according to the directions on the paint.<br />And if you don't want to do all that (but really, it's fun) go to </span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvGxVFEl6opLX6gMpkJoJyL8n3pJ096gr8QAG66Lb9q6iz2jZKPRyfbcQIQ1BgIRy-y1vaVeoZ7Pj06yrvnmXiVz70FLBmo8VAewjp-ZlNTng17GsSkQ2V0_3HfQEWXkprCGAjoVK0xWU/s1600/yhst-25348628591023_2117_11038737.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"></span></span></a><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"><a href="http://moonstruckgifts.com/halloween-home-decor/witch-hats-more/">http://moonstruckgifts.com/halloween-home-decor/witch-hats-more/</a> </span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 85%;">and buy one!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #6600cc; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">It's pretty simple, call your girls, tell them to get all dressed up and get a lot of wine!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">That's me standing in between Glinda and Elphba (as I call them). Betsy, the white witch is actually wearing a wedding gown, accessorized by a fantastic white hat we had in the shot last year. We added a silver shawl and some satin gloves. Elphaba is all about red & black caribo and feathers.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anybody can do it, just get some display wire from the hardware store to hold them in place and some fishing line to hang them almost invisibly from the landing above.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial;">When she told me she was going to to it, I thought it was a great idea, but after seeing the picture, I am absolutely blown away!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: arial;">I love to "do up" my chandeliers for every holiday, but since we're talking Halloween and "spoooky chic" here are a few shots of my kitchen and dining room chandeliers taken over the years. <u><u></u><br /></u></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial;"></span> </div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial;">In this first shot everything coordinates with the harlequin pattern of the Patience Brewster Witch on the mantle in the blog above. Click on the picture to enlarge it so you see all the little black and white balls and spiders</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial;">. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There are also black bats hanging by fish wire and ethereal butterflies in orange, black and gold.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8vaXV1-VVrc2ARjWZRcyDFmFHdmlSwtmAw2e7yNJH1E4LPghuqQ-O6_BnRMhB2Q5Ln2RKpaUzx1bg4MHjtf9DNC6Si6DjmaIFjAx-eokN7E46LHgepOcC1kDS3jMqGtgluhNjPFKN7Rs/s1600/Spooky+Chic+Chandelier.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8vaXV1-VVrc2ARjWZRcyDFmFHdmlSwtmAw2e7yNJH1E4LPghuqQ-O6_BnRMhB2Q5Ln2RKpaUzx1bg4MHjtf9DNC6Si6DjmaIFjAx-eokN7E46LHgepOcC1kDS3jMqGtgluhNjPFKN7Rs/s400/Spooky+Chic+Chandelier.JPG" width="287" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Chandeliers - whether they're as fancy as this bronze and glass piece, or not are a fabulous opportunity to set the holiday decor mood for a room. You can dangle all kinds of "do-dads" from your chandeliers... ornaments, fairies, kitchen witches, elves, bats, words... just have fun!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In the second shot (from 2010) I'm using a Katherine's collection Spider Queen perched at the top to set the theme. </span><br />
<br />

<br /><div><font face="arial">OK - how fun is this? The plates, coffee cups, Luna and Terra Wich figures, wine bag and little pumpkin on stump salt & pepper set are all by Dept 56. These pieces go way beyond just a halloween celebration... as the story goes..."Hidden deep in a long forgotten woods lays a mystical grove of sacred oaks where an ancient sisterhood of enlightened and powerful witches gather..." </font></div>
<br /><div><font face="arial"></font> </div>
<br /><div><font face="arial">The four sisters - Terra, Luna, Willow and Eve are each depicted as large figurines... and I mean with <em>impeccable</em> detail. There is also a mug and a plate depicting each sister - oh and just for fun - wine bags! They're not too-too pricey. Each figurine is $98, the plates are $80 for the set of 4, the mugs are $55 for set of 4.

<br /><div><font face="Arial">Also FYI - Plates are also made with a built-in hanger so you can display them on the wall year-round!</font></div></div>MoonStruck Giftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02142237955677083254noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101949354235769249.post-80983810939090695232008-09-03T14:36:00.000-07:002008-09-28T11:24:39.280-07:00Spooky-chic Mantle<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLZyiFy86TtvFRRuAQEcLehek5pJD6TY-zJ6JsVpfC_0Xjh1dU0B6eHOzo_3lYQSBCgFuRQGRLCvSiPfplv9T7C5FK1Q4pJY6nrIXCGV0LeDpX6mmarFeHlacpBu6-rkmhjSoHfwhfJ5A/s1600-h/Dining+Close+up.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241913628417381874" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLZyiFy86TtvFRRuAQEcLehek5pJD6TY-zJ6JsVpfC_0Xjh1dU0B6eHOzo_3lYQSBCgFuRQGRLCvSiPfplv9T7C5FK1Q4pJY6nrIXCGV0LeDpX6mmarFeHlacpBu6-rkmhjSoHfwhfJ5A/s400/Dining+Close+up.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBq7un_vgQxwkki7DMhcLdYJ3RsLOFeCdSf98pN-jR3GkTVTqKt5S7Z13GUC1w7TI-LipM1dCwSbqVEXF4a06JgrmcErX9ntGXuHw9VkIcL9WnjO8RkjcBa9PLT7t4jqeccA1g3yg6BZ0/s1600-h/091906MOONSTRUCK%232mjg.jpg"></a> </div><div> </div><div>Classic "Spooky-Chic" in my opinion - from the black feather boa drapped over the top of the mirror to the fluffy purple spiders.

Spooky Chic is goulish, but glamorous... Spooky Chic Halloween decor includes lots of sparkle and glitter -- and a good measure of humor! </span><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;">Most often we look to deep hues of purple, orange and limey green to create a spooky chic scene, but you don't need to limit yourself. The picture at left shows a witchy Halloween vingnette we created on a credenza in my dining room. The elements are rather simple... OK the hat's not that simple - the hat is FANTASTIC! However, it's displayed quite simply on a tall lamp stand with the shade removed. <span style="color:#cc0000;"><em>(NOTE - DO NOT turn on the light - if I showed you the back of this hat right now you'd see a burn hole.)</em></span><span style="color:#000000;"> Next I added framed pictures of Halloweens past and posed an elegant Kathrine's Collection Baba Yaga Witch doll to complete the scene. You can find some of these gorgeous hats at my witch hat page <a href="http://moonstruckgiftshop.com/witchway.html">http://moonstruckgiftshop.com/witchway.html</a>. Have fun!</span></span></div><br /><div></div>MoonStruck Giftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02142237955677083254noreply@blogger.com0
