When Witches come to tea...
The witches are arriving
It's a wonderful sight to see
How about you?
Will you be ready?
When the witches come to tea.
They come from all directions
You can hear them from afar
They park their brooms
But you can't tell
Exactly where they are.
They swoop down at your table
Never knocking at the door
You'd never know they'd been here
As they've never come before.
They are very still and quiet
Not scary in the least
Their manners are impeccable
And they thoroughly enjoy the feast.
So do what you are able
Stoke the fire
And fill the pot
'Cause when witches come to tea
They like it nice and hot.
...Judy...
The Cottage Witch

Is your kettle on?
All china and tea pot from Home Goods
Napkins and napkin rings from Pier One
Witches concocted by The Cottage Witch
The witches are sharing tea today with:
Be brave.
Drop by and share a cup
with the other witches.
Put a little magic in your day.
Thank you,
Vanessa,
for conjuring up
this delectable occasion.
I love the table setting and what you wrote to go with your story. The front of your cottage is simply magical. Happy Halloween. xoxo Su

Oh I've been waiting for this tea party - and it was worth the wait. Love the poem - you are so clever - and again, I adore your teapot. How can I have so may teapots and still find more that I would love to add to my collection. (I have to drink a LOT of tea). Your witches are lovely (are we allowed to call them lovely?) The table settings are fabulous - love the whole thing. Now I'm off to visit more witches. Be sure and watch for my witches on Wednesday Wee Ones.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, this has been so much fun coming to tea with the witches. Love all your photos and the Halloween treasures are amazing. I just love your white teapot with the leaves. Gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing and also for stopping by and your comments. Have a great Halloween week my friend.
