HESPA~~~WITCHYPOO HALLOWEEN MOUSER VIGNETTE~~

THANK YOU FOR POPPING IN TO MEET HESPA! She comes from a long line of witches who have lived in the land of Nod since time began. She is the great-niece of Hagetha; the most famous witchypoo of all. But....much to the chagrin of those who came before her, Hespa is a kind soul with a love for all of her kindred spirits. Only good spells and healing herbs are a part of her arsonnal.




Hespa is made of aged osnaburg. Her face is needle sculpted with black seed bead eyes and sisal whiskers. Her dress is a primitive burnt orange in color and is quilt shop quality fabric. Her hat, vest and witchy shoes are made of wool felt. The hat has been stiffened to permanently hold its shape.




Every year Hespa carves her own pumpkin and this year is no exception. In fact, she is rather proud of this one. It is made of paperclay with a stick for the stem; then painted and aged for that prim perfect look.






She keeps her broom handy (held by her sweet curly tail) just in case she has to make a quick getaway.




Hespa has been securely attached to the lid of her spooky keepsake box. The box is made of painted and aged paper mache. It would make the perfect hiding spot for that little stash of candy corn.




This little halloween vignette is loaded with detail. You will not be disappointed. If you feel needful of Hespa and would like to adopt her for your own, her cost is a mere $35.00 which includes priority air fare to your home.



~~~SIMPLE "BOO" BLESSINGS

THIS MOUSER HAS BEEN ADOPTED AND IS OFF TO HER NEW HOME. THANK YOU, TAMARA!!

I only have one available at this time. If you would like to place an order for Hespa, please contact me using the "contact me" button on my right sidebar.

I JUST HAD TO SHARE......

I guess you could say that Mr. Wonderful and I are the typical grandparents. We love to brag about our grandkids and have plenty of pictures to prove it. We have eight wonderful, adorable little ones of which Evelin is the youngest. She was a year in April. We went out to dinner just a few days ago and I snapped a few pictures. (Imagine that....heehee!) She was the hit of the restaurant. So, with that said, the first picture is of her adorable, little face and the second picture is a new face that she has begun to make for reasons that only she knows:) Hope you enjoy!






Be sure and stay tuned....I am sure this proud grandmother will be posting more pics of her grandchildren in the near future....heehee!!

hugs and smiles,
Carol
