Happy Halloween


Lady Purple, my niece, pictured above as Luna Lovegood (with Mr.Margie as he who can not be named, and yes he did shave his head) recently turned 21 years old and hosted a birthday party with her brother


Cole, my nephew, from Penman and Paperboy (the taller one, Sirius Black) who was 20 a few days later. The party was a Harry Potter theme, (Sam with Cole was Remus Lupin).


The party took place at their family home (a perfect setting for such a theme), a peek in the bathroom,


A stroll down the hall,


The kitchen with wonderful black stove heating the house


skull shaped shelf holders above the fireplace, all adding to the mystery and magic.


My sister Neady was Professor Trelawney and she won first prize for her costume (well deserved),


I think Cole looked very Johnny Depp (pictured with his brother Fionn).


Leiny, my daughter, was Hermione Granger (left), Fay was a student, with Duane (Leiny's boyfriend) as Cedric Diggery (but more like Harry Potter).

Mel, my daughter, was a surprise visitor as Fleur Delacour (in blue) and her friend Sandy as Rita Skeeter.


Happy Halloween everyone and do drop by my new blog Christmas Time Magic (Thanks to Leiny for helping me set it up).


Hugs,


Margie

What a fun party theme!! The costumes are great, and the house was an amazing setting for the party. It would have been fun to stay a few extra days in Ireland to celebrate Halloween.

Loved the pictures and costumes! It must have been a fun party :) Love, Ana

Happy Halloween, indeed! And what a party you seem to have had. In fact, I understand that Halloween originates from Ireland, even though the Americans seem to have made it their celebration. I still have fond memories of my first Halloween ever in San Francisco two years ago... spooky stuff indeed!

How lucky you are to live so close to the beautiful Wicklow Mountains. I was deeply fascinated by the landscape, beauty and charm of the place. And do indeed long to return. I shall let you know next time I come the the Emerald Isle, and maybe we can meet.

Waw Margie! You had a great Halloween party! Wonderful photos and you have a marvellous family! In Italy Halloween is an imported tradition and something for kids, but I like to see how you celebrate it! I visited your new blog! I'm looking forward to see your Xmas decorations and projects!
Happy new week my friend!
