Well, it certainly has been a busy week this past week. I don't feel I accomplished much, yet, the laundry is done, I made a blackberry pie, we went shopping one day, had lunch at Five Guys [the best burgers & fries in Texas]...we didn't eat in, tho. In fact their dining area is not accessible yet. We ordered ahead of time, then ate at the outdoor tables and watched people passing by. Unusual, but still a change of pace. I am done with decoarting for Halloween. It's not all out this year. Just mainly sitting my witches out...Bud said if I put out any more, he wouldn't have to vaccuum but a trail to walk thru. [smart a$$] And then, most of all, I broke down and actually went to a hair salon for a GOOD haircut...styled. Instead of a slip shod job with an 'at home' job. Finally. I just hope the place was sanatized! My short layered pixie style looks so nice right now!!
Okay, I wanted to show you some new witches. They're all JEWELS of the season. [By the way, I can't believe how the dozens of witches in stores here in Corpus sell so darned quickly. The shops put them out on display and they're gone the next day. I saw 6 of them -three dressed in black and three dressed in red around 4 pm on Friday without my card...went back on Saturday morning at 9 am, and they were all gone!]

My precious gems:
Ruby
Amethyst
By the way, Sandra, she was found at our local Walmart. I liked her because instead of a broom, she has a wooden cane.
Opal
Sapphire
This last one is Wiccan I believe. A forest witch, a diety of animals, rocks, earth. I have another one from a couple of years ago which I named Emerald. She too is dressed in forest clothes carrying an owl. Jade is donning antlers [which makes her a high priestess? Not sure]
Jade
❤️ Saturday [the 3rd] was the day for the annual 5K heart walk. I decided it wasn't all that safe to be in among the 5000+ walkers with the pandemic still around with 100 or more new cases reported daily and I just know that once the starting gun was fired, the crowds would NOT be social distancing. I was disappointed, but played it safe. I just mailed my check for my yearly pledge and hope for next year so I can support the heart research foundation by not only pledging monetarily, but getting out with others to walk the walk.
Better safe than sorry could not apply more now!! My favorite is Ruby, love her clothes. Followed closely by Sapphire.
ReplyDeleteI like the black lace overlay on Ruby's dress...spiders in the lace, with a spider at the tip of her hat.
DeleteI think you're smart not doing the walk, Anni... and the witch with the cane is my favorite. She looks more like a disheveled grandma to me. *LOL* ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDelete...a cane is so different!
DeleteHello Anni,
ReplyDeleteLove all your witches, what a great collection.. Hubby and I love Five Guys burgers and fries too, we ate in the car the last time we went there. It is best to be safe than sorry, this Covid seems to be up and down and all over the place. Take care, enjoy your day! Have a happy new week!
I could make a meal with the fries!!
DeleteWhy did I always think witches had very ugly faces? Anyway,"Opal"/"Sassy" in her ivory dress and silver boots is my favorite today. Yes, I named her too. You are doing the sensible and careful actions to NOT walk the annual 5K this year and I was glad to hear that because it makes sense to me. Show your new hair cut!
ReplyDeleteIf I can get a picture, I'll share.
DeleteWould have been nice to do the walk but I agree with you, too many people to be around!!
ReplyDelete...the 2nd peak is here in Corpus...too many odds against the safety (at my age)
DeleteI am loving Ruby! Offal is stunning! And I did not like Jade in the full shot of her butt when you should the up-close view she has a work of art. I meant to look around in Walmart and see if they had any but forgot. Did you find her with the Halloween things are in another department. I have been through the Halloween things many times and never seen one but it doesn't mean they're not there
ReplyDeleteI typed all this, could not post it on my phone, so copied and pasted and emailed to my self, came to the desk top, and copied and pasted... there is more than one way to conquer BLOGGER.
Yes, she was found in the Hallowen stuff. (She was the only one, tho)
DeleteLove them all. I could never choose a favorite.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like 'em Molly (and mom)
DeleteNice of you to still participate in the charity run by sending your check. That's the classy (and safe!) thing to do.
ReplyDeleteIt would've been fun if it weren't for that pan'damn'ic.
DeleteFive Guys is the best burger here in IN, too. Now I have a craving...Witches are lovely. Have a wonderful week and I'm sorry you had to miss the 5K.
ReplyDeleteI could eat there often during the week! If it weren't for collecting fat cells!!
DeleteMy goodness Opal is a knock out but I liked Amethyst's grandmotherly look.
ReplyDeleteGlad you passed on the run. That would be just asking for it.
She's a bit snippity that Opal is! lol
DeleteI hope that someday this pandemic passes and we can all resume a normal life. The burger sounds delicious. That is one of my favorite foods is a good burger.
ReplyDeleteI too LOVE burgers!!
DeleteI do think you were smart to forgo the walk this year..why tempt fate? They still got the charitable donation and that's the important part.
ReplyDeleteI think Ruby is my favorite witch. She has a lot of character in her face..maybe the nose wart helps.
That's the way we eat out for the most part too. Now I'm hungry for a tasty burger.
Sue
Nose warts are something, I think, we expect on witches, right?
DeleteGood for you for keeping yourself safe. And I really LOVE that first one, all in red. And oh my is that a wonderful haircut! :-)
ReplyDeleteI just didn't comfortable about the idea of such a huge crowd. I like Ruby too.
DeleteThose are some great looking witches. I can't even decide which one I like the best.
ReplyDeleteI was in Walmart the other day and was looking for some Christmas fabric they had a couple weeks ago and it was all gone. It's not even Halloween yet and all their Christmas fabric is gone.
...that is amazing! Hopefully they'll get more in?
DeleteI can tell that I would get along well with Bud! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a haircut. That always makes you feel better.
So cute to give the one a cane. :)
He can be ornery at times.
DeleteI like your witches. October/November are my favorite months of the year. Glad you were able to get a haircut! I hate going without one. Lots of rules/restrictions for hair salons and barber shops here in KY.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know what the regulations are here in Texas.
DeleteGetting a good haircut feels so good.
ReplyDeleteI needed it badly.
DeleteWe all need to get out
ReplyDeleteIndeed
DeleteThose witches are so neat. We have a Five Guys practically just down the road and I can't remember the last time we went there, now it sounds good. Glad you were able to get your haircut. Hope you do get to walk next year and of course, that you have a great new week!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I can't seem to get your blog to open. I will go get on desktop.
DeleteGood for you for staying safe. 👍
ReplyDeleteTho missed, I think it was best
DeleteThose witches are very cool! Good for you keeping away from the crowds!
ReplyDeleteI really don't care for big crowds ... even without the virus.
DeleteYou have quite the collection of witches!! I love five guys hamburgers but nobody else in the family does. I have been doing virtual runs only even though the real runs have started. Too dangerous.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit questionable still!
DeleteA wonderful collection of witches.
ReplyDeleteI think it's advisable to stay away from crowds.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan!
DeleteThose are quite lovely witches. I have been an avid doll collector most of my life so I love to see the collections of others. Thanks for visiting my second blog. I remember you saying you lived in Colorado too , years ago. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over to Hootin's Anne. Have you ever shared some?
DeleteI adore each and every one but Opal and Jade really spoke to me!!!
ReplyDeleteI love witches!!!
Have a lovely evening Anni
You & me both...of course, you know that.
