Regarding The World's End On Friday

When it's over, I want to say: all my life

I was a bride married to amazement.

I was a bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it's over, I don't want to wonder

if I have made of my life something particular, and real.

I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened

or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.

Witch Jars

Made a trip to Michael's today. Nothing new in the Halloween aisle, but an employee told us that the truck on Friday will have more seasonal decorations. Can't wait. I saw some great mason jars being sold pretty cheap on the shelves so I bought three and made witch jars for the tree branches on Halloween night. The handles are made from thin green craft wire. I painted the inside bottom of the jars black and squirt red and brown paint on the interior sides for a soiled effect.  

Jars

I LOVE the idea of hanging glass jars with tealights from tree branches. Real flames, in any form, have always been so connected to Halloween for me. Hanging my metal lanterns in the tree, and the small jack o'lanterns last year, adds to the mystery somehow. People always seem to lean in to check to see if it's a real flame, and then seem surprised and happy when it is (I was always one of those people).
