Halloween
Friday, October 16, 2009
Welcome Pink Saturday Dearies, welcome Halloween Friends. Now watch your step as we pass by the hat shop on Delancy Street. I heard a story about a spider named Henrietta, who once lived in that very hat shop. She was sitting on top of a hat on Halloween, when all of a sudden a customer purchased the hat to go to a Halloween extravaganza over at a place called A Fanciful Twist...
nce upon a time on Halloween's Eve...
Henrietta Spider sat down beside her,
and stepped up onto the hat embellished for Halloween,
She sat in the window on display, looking stylish but hardly wanted to be seen.
She dreamed instead of celebrating the holiday wearing something dreamy, preferably in aquamarine!
Later that day a customer bought the hat and dashed away feathers, spiders and all,
When Henrietta got to her home, she read the invite and learned they were going to a ball.
Henrietta sighed she needed to look amazing, and she didn’t have time to go to the mall,
So, she jumped down from the hat and began to spin the dreamiest aquamarine shawl.
When it was done she fixed her hair, draped her new shawl and sat down beside her,
and stepped up onto the hat embellished for Halloween.
Everyone was excited to go to the party and have their costumes seen,
Well, we must all join Henrietta Spider and rush to meet all the guests that she just could not resist,
We are all invited to meet Miss Vanessa at A Hauntingly Magical Celebration at a Fanciful Twist.
The song for this post is Disneyland Halloween. Pink Saturday Guests can also usher to the right and visit Miss Beverly at How Sweet The Sound. The Halloween black embellishments from the amazing Rhonna Farrer. Thank you to my daughter Sarah for posing with this lovely Halloween Bonnet and Miss Henrietta Spider.
Thank you Vanessa for hosting such a fun annual event. Thank you Beverly for never disappointing us and creating a weekly Pink day for us all to enjoy.
Hello, Karen,
I loved meeting Miss Henrietta Spider and going with her on her adventure! She certainly looks stylish in her new outfit. Cute, cute post today! Happy Pink Saturday to you! Blessings to you! Vicki
How cute was that! You are so clever and talented. laurie
Dear Karen-
What an imagination you have my friend. Too cute. I will have to share this with my little Kate tomorrow. She will love Miss Henrietta Spider. You should be writing children's books.
I just love adventures in hats!
Miss Henrietta is quite the stylish spider having chosen such a lovely hat to sit atop.
Henrietta is divine! What girl wouldn't want a costume for the ball! I'm glad she found such a wonderful home and made her way into this perfect post! It was immensely fun, thanks!
You and Henrietta are having a ball, pop over and see us Lindax

What a lovely story. That little Henrietta is such a pretty little spider. I hope she had a lot of fun and danced the night away :-)
Hello Karen! Happy pink halloween Saturday to you and the lovely Miss Henrietta! She is too cute and all colors suit her! Great that your daughter cooperates too. Isn't it fun that a lot of bloggers have children who think it's quite normal to take photos in the middle of the night (my daughter last night) or pose with any kind of hat! Bloggers and their families are the best!
Great pictures. Love Miss Henrietta. Thank you for sharing them with us this week. Have a Happy Pink Saturday :)
Henrietta Spider is lovely and her story makes me smile! So glad she got to go to the party too!
Good morning dear friend,
I was just over at Vanessa's and saw all the festivities!!! Lili in the Netherlands had a nice post as well. I love, love, love that silhouette of the castle! Did you create that? I LOVE IT! Thank you again for an entertaining and lovely post. Have a wonderful day, Anita
The cutest spider Henrietta is! And oh how I love Rhonna's Designs!
Happy Haunting:)
Stacy

What a terrific blog you have and you are generous to be sure. Thank you for acknowledging that God is the ultimate creator and He has given that to us as a gift...you have used it to His glory!
Henrietta Spider is a lovely tale! Aquamarine shawl, too funny! I guess spiders wear black all the time, and long for something different!
Those hats are dreamy!
Happy Hlloween to you and Henrietta and your lovely daughter! XOXOXOX

Hi Karen, OH I was just enchanted by your story. I love Miss Henrietta, meeting her and watching her spin her lovely aqua shawl for the party.
The hat is lovely. Your daughter wore it well and with such gorgeous hair!!
