My friend, Mindy, came by to purchase some mushrooms for her online shop, Myrtle and Mo.
Since I believe that most occasions should be parties whenever possible, I told her to bring the kids with her for a spooky cocoa party.
Instead of having the inventory packed up in the studio, I used it as a centerpiece, and Sugarwings set the table with our Halloween themed cups and teapot.
We were ready to welcome a couple of adorable guests.
Dessert was scary cherry pies.
Their mom was a good sport about all of the sweet treats before dinner time. We also had fruit skewered onto witch leg picks, and a cauldron full of guacamole to dip pretzels in. So, maybe that counter acted some of the decadence.
The tarts were in silicone teacups made to bake in, lined with crust, cherry pie filling, then topped with a circle of pie dough that I cut faces into with a knife. I added noses and eyebrows from the trimmings.
But the big hit of the party was the henhouse.
The ladies are some of the sweetest chickens we have ever had, and seemed happy with the attention.
There was plenty of snuggles to go around, and those birds got lots of attention.
Mindy went home with kids filled up with sweets, tired from chasing chickens, and a nice selection of mushrooms.
If you are one of the people who have been asking me to list schroomies in my poor, neglected boutique to sell online, uhm, you might be better off checking out my pal’s store. I do not seem to be filling that shop up, am I?
It’s still open, and I’m paying fees for it, although I sure haven’t used it much this year. But Mindy has a full shop, with a few dozen mushrooms along with her fantastic vintage goods.
