Welcome, Welcome! Come on in and sit a SPELL.
I have a notion that you are looking for a special POTION.
( I used my large marquee letter ‘S’ from my laundry room words spelling ‘wash’ to put an emphasize on the word spells)
Oh my pretties, I know just what you need,
but in order for it to work you must take heed.
Special ingredients that you will adore,
lie just behind this chippy green door!
I have things that will do the trick: witch warts, spider venom, or ghoul drool.
Trust me my pretties, I got my education from the very best witches school.
Times running out so we must act fast. . .some of these spells just don’t last!
I love using natural ingredients and that’s a fact.
Now and then you might have a side effect and grow hair on your back.
The skelly heads are hung up to dry. . .
by all Hallows Eve they should be ready to boil or to fry.
They’re especially tasty if you add a bit of fly!
Helping to cure others aliments is what I do.
If my potions don’t work, then nothing can be better than a bowl of my skelly stew!
Or my toxic tonic is a fabulous drink. . .just be sure to ignore the terrible stink!
I can brew you up a potion that will make you brave. . .
Comes in handy on all Hallows Eve when some of my friends step out of their grave!
Nothing works better than a potion brewed with a hair from a rats tail.
You might need to cover your ears when you hear the rat wail!
Are you looking for something to make someone love sick?
I have a fabulous poison that works with just one little prick.
It won’t be long till the Apothecary cabinet will be bare.
(I painted the Apothecary words on a piece of old molding)
So hurry in for your spell or potion. . .if you dare!!!
(I thought that the bits of sunshine shining in gave my cabinet an eerie feel)
Hee-hee!

Your cabinet is too pretty for Haloween! I want one just like it, love the pretty bottles and old things on display! please join me at Plumfield House Gardens, http://plumfieldhousegardens.blogspot.com/
thanks, Celeste
Jann, this is magnificent!
I started to smile when you mentioned you have the bold word WASH decorating your laundry room. Your cabinet, shabby paint and leaking sunshine and all is wonderful.
Your apothecary looks prepared for any reason.

I love this! So creative!
Your rhyme was quite clever.
A spooky endeavor.
However the cabinet contents
Have made my fear intense!
What an absolutely fabulous apothecary cabinet!!!
Creepily Charming, one and all. I love the way that dear Edgar Allan Poe is remembered in this annual shiver-fest.
And Christina Crawford has quite enough DARK in her own past to qualify as a Raven-writer, as well.
