Come one, Come all
Step or Fall
Back into the rabbit hole and through the door
to Wonderland
Do you have your ticket?
But of course you do not
For a special silver ticket is required to enter here
But have no fear
look in the hat in the corner
Yes there you will find your key to the magic
Come now
Let us be on our way
Tonight all the creatures of this topsy turvy enchanted place
invite you to
***Carnivale de Curiosite***
Our Master of the Midway of Madness
is none other than
that Maddest of Hatters himself
He will lead you into our world of Wonder
The lights of the midway sparkle and shine
They call to you
to play the games and ride the rides
and experience all the wonders it has to offer
What would you like to do first
Oh yes you must step in to the
Gypsy Wagon to get your fortune told by
Madame Josephina
(wonderfully enchanted card made by Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist)
What will the crystal ball see tonight
Wealth, a Lover, or perhaps
An Adventure to a distant land
Or will it be the cards that will reveal your truths
I love the rides on the midway
The carousel is my favorite
Hop upon the enchanted horses and let them take you away
Oh yes literally here they take you away
As the music plays and the carousel spins
Magic lifts our horses right from their placements
and they can take you anywhere you would like
High up amongst the tallest flowers and the vines
that hang from the purple clouds
If you are fast enough you may catch a falling star
Is it feats of wonder and strength
or the weird and creepy
you desire
Well then you must attend the Freak Show
Let the Strong Man
lift you with one pinky finger
Bearded ladies and the small and the tall all reside here
amongst this tent of the unusual
Dont close your eyes
dont speak above a whisper as you walk through
and above all
Hold On to your Heads
or you might end up like our headless ballerina
She never stops dancing for the Red Queen
Well have you been amazed
You must be starving
For the normal we have
Cotton candy that comes in every color...
and it also makes everything that color as well when you eat it
Crunchy popcorn, caramel and candied apples
Or if you are a little more daring
Maybe you would like to try
Frosted Frog Lips or Sugared Dragonfly Wings
Scrumptious
The stars are shining brighter than ever
and the carousel is forever turning in this
Mysterious Carnival here
in
Wonderland
but I know you have much more to see
but save your ticket and
return as many times as you please
for the Curiosity never ends and
the weird and enchanted never sleep
Thank you to Anna and Marfi
for hosting
this wonderful party
(I will always be late but I will be there eventually)
with my pretty white gloves, stripey stockings, and a broken pocketwatch
Hi Wendy, thanks for stopping by and touring the carnival mystery with Romi. Glad you enjoyed it. It's never too late for parties in Blogland. No time limits here.
Loved all your details.
Hope you enjoyed Halloween.
Much love,

Those were hard, he said. "But that's why you do it -- to be there at those times when people desperately need help."

Your magical events are always well worth waiting for and I am saving my ticket so I can return again.
We have a beheaded ballerina at our house. The dogs were kind enough to do the job for me but they did it so perfectly I know she has to make an appearance at a party.
