The Bats Have Left the Bell Tower...


My Dearest Friends,

It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you

to The Gossamer Tearoom on this...

a very special...




It is such a dreary, rainy night.

Aren’t you glad you are on the inside?

Of course, The Tearoom has been decorated in a particularly dark fashion. . .







The Ghost of Lina Cavellieri wanders the halls of The Tearoom most nights. Tonight, in honor of this most magical of nights, she walks the catwalk, modelling the most glorious dresses, designed only for her. Please witness as she leaves you enchanted, enveloped in the deep scent of dark roses, the crackling sound of black taffeta, the touch of a cape as dark and soft as a bat’s wing...









The playlist for the show is a camp rock and roll extravaganza:
From The Rocky Horror Picture Show -
Science Fiction, Double Feature
The Time Warp (Remix)
Sweet Transvestite
And of course, some sexy snarl from Billy Idol-
Eyes Without A Face
Flesh for Fantasy


The tea table is set, dear ones. Please indulge yourselves in bat bane tea and spider-toe crumpets from Patisserie Nightshade.



Thank you to Julia of Cemerony and Kirsi of Itkupilli for some of the delicious images I used in my collages.

And biggest hugs to my dear, dear friend LuLu of Coastal Sisters for hosting this party with me! Please be sure and go visit her party also!

And now...please don't forget to leave a comment to be entered in my giveaway! The winner will get a deluxe package of my handmade cards and stationery from The Gossamer Tearoom!

Thank you so much to everyone who has visited!

Wishing you a happy and spooky Halloween!

Betty
