Okay, she may not have the proverbial wart on her nose...
...and her skin may not be a sickly shade of green...
But make no mistake about it... She is a witchy woman (albeit a shabby/cottage styled one!)...
I met her last month at a vintage shop, and she spoke to me (figuratively, of course). I'd been searching for a simple styrofoam head, and she fit the bill perfectly. (Her face is gouged up and she has a pinkish red stain on her head, but I like to think of all that as vintage charm!)
She rather enjoys being decked out in one of my soft scarves and rhinestone brooch. And she loves that I jazzed up her Target witch hat with a black rose from my stash. But she was not happy about being in the living room... No, no, no...
She insisted on being moved to the dining room so she could "oversee" my dinner choices this month.... Apparently she thinks we'll enjoy eye of newt and beak of crow more than the Blasted Chicken I posted about yesterday...
Fat chance, Witchy Woman. I like you in the dining room, too, but the first complaint I hear about what's for supper, and it's back to the living room for you!
If you'd like to check out some more Halloween decor, or post some of your own, join the party at A Soft Place to Land!
Comment Update: To Connie, who suggested I paint her hat pink... Don't think I didn't give that some serious thought! ha ha But in the end, I left it black and gave her some of my favorite pale pinky/peachy color in her scarf!! However I am thinking of adding some kind of ribbon or trim above the brim of her hat to make the flower pop more. If she gets a makeover I'll be sure to post a photo! And since she's going to be up year round, I'm already thinking a Dr. Zhivago styled fake fur hat for the New England winter... Maybe that could be pink!
