A Halloween Party continued.....

Welcome back to Queen Nefaria's halloween party! As you can see, Lady Isobel has all the arrangements made and we are waiting for the guests!

Ms. Gourd has the shrunken head stew brewing while she keeps company with Blaze the bat. "Not too many victims this year" she says, "they must be getting smarter!"

Queen Nefaria has arrived! She is quite enjoying her honey mead and the wonderfully dark decorations!

Soon the first guest appears! It is Ursula the voodoo bear, she sadly reports that even her magic has not been strong enough this year to share anything for the meal. Queen Nefaria is displeased and asks her to leave.

Ursula passes witch Kendra on her way out, she bearly even looks at her she is so upset.

Queen Nefaria and witch Kendra continue with their meal, whilst planning for next year. They have a few very good ideas, and we shall see what they do. But be sure, it will be nefarious....

Happy Halloween!! I hope you enjoyed our little story.

All the dolls are made by the artists at Keyhole Gallery and many of them are currently for sale at www.darklingdoll.etsy.com

Wicked Halloween Tale...

Indra lived in her own magical garden with her flower friends Nak and Nik... Nak and Nik were quite different, but both were enamored of Halloween ...

A stranger approached, she called herself Lady Isobel. She said she bore important news for this coming Hallow's Eve... festivities of the most innocent kind...

Indra looked deep into her crystal, should she go with this stranger? After all, this is the time of year the the evil Queen Nefaria liked to prey on sweet spirits...

In her crystal she saw many things, dragons, shrunken heads, skulls, and winged creatures she did not recognize...but something was still hiding...

There is something else... or someone else. It's becoming clearer...

Queen Nefaria! And one of her poor victims...wow that was close thought Indra...

I shall stay in my magical garden and see what tricks or treats Nak and Nik have planned this year..... To Be Continued.............

These beautiful dolls are made by the girls of Keyhole Gallery,

Therese Taylor
