To life come strong and hearty,
I hope you'll slip past everything
And come out to this party!
(from a 1920's postcard)
Today is the day of A Fanciful Twist's blog party! What a great day, it's cold and rainy outside, perfect weather for staying at home. So grab a cup of cocoa, finish putting out your
decorations and have fun exploring all the magical blogs! I've been scouting out vintage Halloween postcard verses for you.
Don't forget enter my Halloween giveaway!
Again be Children for a Day
Witches Goblins have their sway
Tis Hallowe'en lets Joke and Play
Witches soar, on broomsticks riding,
jack-o-lanterns twinkle, grinning
Our Halloween revelry will be just beginning!
An odd old fashioned charm
makes the goblins howl with fear
and keeps you safe from harm!
Goblins and Jack-O-Lanterns jolly,
Bid you unto All-Hallow's folly.
Hither come by dark n' moon,
you cannot join the fun too soon.
Spooks a sighing, bats a flying
Join the revels don't belate
Hear the witches tell your fate!
Your fate is found On Hallowe'en.
Witches dabble, the imps will play,
until the darkest hour you'll stay.
