It's Time.....For Le Mysterieux Carnival!

Can you feel the magic in the air?? It's finally time! Won't you join me? Come with me into the deep dark woods for a carnival unlike any you've seen before!


You'll need your silver ticket. Oh you don't have one? Take one of mine, I have plenty!


Oh my, I almost forgot....there is one other thing you need before we go. You must have a little taste of my magical popcorn. It's really quite delicious! Just a little sprinkling of autumn forest magic to help you find your way though the deep dark woods. 


I know that popcorn can make you thirsty, so help yourself to some pumpkin spice punch.


Are we all set? The carnival can be quite tricky to find, but if we follow the path past the sparkling fairy pond.....


And follow the jack-o-lantern trail......


We'll soon find ourselves in the enchanted forest of Le Mysterieux Carnival!


There will be such sights to see and curiosities to explore. Magical carousals, and the most amazing characters you can imagine!





And of course, no visit to the carnival would be complete without having your fortune told by the wise and enchanting Mz. Sofinia...


If you listen closely as you near her sparkling wagon, above the tinkling music of the ferris wheel and carousal, you'll hear the mysterious soft whispering of an old folk poem....


There is so much more to see and do, and the night has only just begun! So stay with me in the forest and we'll bob for apples, drink fizzy drinks by the light of glowing pumpkins, and enjoy all the strange and wonderful magic of Le Mysterieux Carnival!

And when the music fades and the festivities are through for yet another year, I hope you'll leave a comment and say hello. For I have a special gift for one of the lovely people that have visited the carnival with me today! It's this charm and amethyst gemstone necklace. A special lock and key for opening magical carnival doors and unlocking all the rides!


No need to do anything special, just say hello below! If you'd like to follow along as a friend on my blog, that would be lovely too, but certainly not a requirement! :-) I'll announce the winner on Thursday morning when we've all recovered from the carnival fun. I want to say a big thanks to Anna of Frosted Petunias and Marfi of Incipient Wings for hosting such a fun party! Thanks so much for visiting!!
