MOOD BOARD

 

It was a long-busy weekend, filled with all good things! We were in Philadelphia for the No King Rally, that you can see in yesterday's post. I'd say it safe the message got through since it looks like on the news someone stuck porcupines down the underpants of the Dump and many of the GOP! They were not happy. Good. We do and can protest the right way, not like his friends from January 6th. I took advantage to see some friends in Doylestown Friday and we went off to visit a vampire museum, and on Sunday before returning home I took a walk about in one of my favorite cemeteries. Tis the season after all! Today, completely hellish getting up. After a pretty weekend, we are met today with cooler temps, dark and dampness and some strong gales. But work heralds. But it's only a three-day work week this week and next, which is something to be happy about... as this old mare prepares to make another trip around the globe this coming weekend.

Happy Monday readers !

  4. Hello Mistress,

    Well, a visit to a vampire museum and a stroll round a cemetery sound like a joyful outing to us. Perhaps you could have combined it with a trip to a mortuary and a sing-a-long with the local witches' coven? We are not fully convinced that, as yet, you are fully embracing the season. However, the black crow cupcakes do look pretty alarming we have to say!!

    1. I was very excited to go see the vampire museum. It took over a beautiful Victorian mansion I was familiar with. It did not disappoint. The area I used to live in back in Bucks County has a very interesting history, and one of the most supposed haunted places in the US.

      But to my knowledge, I was never bitten in my sleep.

  10. This mood board is one of your best. Did you save a cupcake for me? Or at least a dark chocolate raven?

  11. Another great mood board, Maddie! Are those liquorice candied apples? The raven cupcakes look yummy too.

  12. Another trip around the globe this coming weekend? Either you're on yet another holiday, or...

    ...is it your birthday, dear Maddie?! Does the Hendricks distillery know it needs to ramp up its production? Has the Brazilian consulate been warned? Jx

  13. Apologies for my absence lately! I’ve been quite occupied these past few days, and I haven’t managed to visit your blog. I really enjoy your posts, and I’ll be back soon to read the latest ones. Greetings from Indonesia

  14. A creepy and seasonally fitting mood board! I think the mice running around the pumpkin might be a Betty Boo Halloween cartoon. I used to show it to my grandkids when they were little. I love all those vintage cartoons. They were so charming. And the host of Drag Race is so beautiful! That is her isn't it?

    And soon to be another trip around the globe?!?!? I can't wait to see what you're up too.

  16. If ever there was a witch that would be you, it would be the one in the illustration up there!!!! Don't think I didn't see all those feathers.

  17. I avoided watching any GOP comments on the "news" about the protests. Just sad that SCROTUS is in the process of destroying the White House just to put his crap stamp on it.

  20. Delightful mood board, Dear! Any Halloween themed ones are often my favorite, but you do so good throughout the year.

    I commented on you last post too, though my brain is still waking up so please forgive the bad grammar! I also forgot to mention how proud I am of all of us that had these big ass rallies and marches with -- not just minimal arrests for bad behavior, but the lack of trash!!! So proud! When MAGA gets together they are so disgusting with their trash everywhere! They either just don't care, or they tell themselves it's someone's job to pick up all the trash. Such slobs! Eww!
