APARTMENT IRENA - THE TOOTHLESS WITCH INN - Finally Has A Name!

Hello Everybody! 

Thank you to all that have

left me very nice comments. They

are very much appreciated.

After my last posting, I finally

decided upon a name! I had to

enlist the help of a sweet lady named Ellie Falco

to help me with a sign. She made it

and even incorporated Irena's name.
The signs are just wonderful!!!

Ellie Falco can be found on Ebay and

on Facebook. To find her on Facebook
Simply search for her with the title:

"Little Day Dreams Miniatures".
Ellie lives in Morris Plains, N.J.

Ellie has been making me awards/certificates

for each of my witches. I love seeing their

names in print!

She makes and sells many things so I hope that you will

look her up soon. 

I am always slow at what I do, ideas, time, money

and family life always come first. 

Sometimes life gets in the way.

I have been trying to make over this apartment

since about 2012. Trying to get an idea of what

I wanted was very hard. If you remember this

use to be the apartment of Permelia.

I have so many pics to show you and cannot

post them all today. I hope to at least get them

all posted before Halloween. So do expect some

long posts!

Today I am posting 47 pics which show the entrance

into the witch's apartment. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT NO TREES OR ANIMALS WERE

HURT IN THE MAKING OF THIS POSTING!

So, let me WELCOME you to

"THE TOOTHLESS WITCH INN"

Innkeeper Irena.

Ellie made me 2 of the same sign, because

this sign holder has 2 sides. I got this

sign holder 

many years ago, knowing I wanted to

use it, but not knowing when or where.

I hope you will agree that it works

perfectly here in Louisiana's French

Quarter!

This Inn is located on the bottom floor of this

building in a small apartment. 

THE TREES ARE REAL!! They are limbs

that my hubby found at the back of our home.

I knew I wanted this area to be as real as

I could get it. All of the limbs lean in towards

the building. I was going for a secluded look,

but decided against it at the last moment 

because it was hard to see the French doors.

Also the limbs reached to the 3rd floor. I had

to scale them back to the second floor. By the 

way, the 3 windows is also another witch

apartment that I am also currently working on.

I still have lots to do on that one and hopefully

I can have it done by next Halloween.

I made the black stairs that you see going up

to the French doors. I love how this witch

apartment is secluded from the other tenants.

The ground cover is lichen and moss covers some 

of the branches.

This is the only way into the witch's apartment.

Notice the front door on the right that

goes into the building to the other apartments.

Witches can walk in thru this gated arbor,

or they can fly in from the side directly

in front of the steps. Their choice. Later,

I hope to fill in with more lichen/moss

going from the arbor to the front doors.

So much more to do. I have had the gated

arbor for many years. It has sat for a long

time. It feels good to finally use it.

A closer pic of the arbor and a few limbs.

A view from the trees.

A view into the courtyard by way of 

the gate. Not much space for a courtyard.

As you come thru the gate, there is a lot

to see.

I have had this skull tree for at least

2 years. I bought it at one of the craft

stores. It is not a tall tree. Many times

I tried placing the tree in different places,

only for it not to look good at all. Finally

found a spot for it! Not many skulls on

the tree when I bought it. Perhaps the

other skulls got lost. I would have liked more

skulls on the tree.

You can see the base of the skull tree

better. All of that lichen/moss is not

glued onto the little tree. It is merely

just packed around the base, no glue.

I like the look of the limbs. They look

real - they are real!!

OH MY!!! meet Gazella Grim. She has come

to visit Irena. They are long time friends.

All of my witches come from Detta. You

can find her here.

Gazella is on her way thru the gate.

The witches do not use a broom when they

enter this way.

Sweet Gazella. Her name does not

do her justice. Even though she

may look grim - she is not grim.

She is a happy soul. Eager to help

anyone.

Much better now to be able to

see her face.

Oh my - who parked their broom

near the skull tree!!!

Actually this broom is really a sticker!

Oh my another witch is here!

Oooo see the sign! Love this dual sign.

There are 2 black cats that look the same.

They are made of resin and they have

been fighting today. They do try to stay

away from each other, but occasionally

they seem to get into it. This one is named

Blackie and he stays on this side of the 

steps. Gazella sees Blackie and hopes 

he is in a good mood.

Can you tell that the sign is a dual sign.

There is a yellow owl in the tree. What

you see is the back of him.

The tree holds a pumpkin that you can

put stuff in. But as of yet I have not

put anything in it. Not sure what to 

put in it.

The pumpkin is more orangey than what 

it shows. I hope you like him.

Here is the owl. He is kind of big, but

he looks at home on this limb.

This is a sticker bat.

Another sticker bat!

Gee, what is that - is that a witch!!! What is she

doing!

Oh my goodness - I hope she is not

stuck! Did she happen to fly awkwardly

into the tree!! I hope she is not hurt!

Oh my - perhaps she is looking into

that window!!! Is she a peeping Tom?

She is wearing white so she must be

a good witch.

This witch is named Kallista Kreep.

And she has a twin sister that wears black

and is named Kallisa Kreep. Both of them

make kettles! They are identical twins.

Whew! A cat is being rescued!

Look how scared he is - he cannot get down!

I have so many

cats, and could not find one to put here. This

cat is actually a sticker.

This is what this area looks like now with just a

couple of witches.

A couple of witches are visiting.

A better close up. I was hoping to trail the ivy more

than what I show here. But space limits it.

Meet Starla Spook!  Starla sells shoes for witches.

But if you need a paire or a spare, she is always

eager to help. Oh my she is getting tired.

Starla has decided to walk over and

sit in that great chair!

A view of Starla from the trees.

This pic shows the 3 skinny trees at the side

of the French door. They offer some

privacy.

A view of this area.

Okay, what is this witch doing?

Meet Gabi Gruesome! She is the garden

witch. She tends to Irena's yard. She is

trying to find a place for plants and flowers.

You can see Gabi better here.

Ooo here is the other cat. Her name is Midnight.

She is warning Blackie not to come on this side.

These cats are resin and have a resin base.

Midnight has gotten in the ground cover by the

trees. A little lady bug landed on the porch.

She is going to make her way inside.

Midnight protecting her area.

She is trying to hide from Blackie.

The only way to have real looking trees is to

have real limbs. I like these little trees.

Gabi looking off into the distance.

Here is what the little wooded area

looks like.  Perhaps I need more

trees!

A little peek into the Inn. Many cats live here

and come and go as they please.

Here is a spider on a web by the door. Spider

came from Detta. He looks at home here!

This is the kitchen side. Oh look!! The

witch must have made some gingerbread

men and they are running away!! One is

almost out of the door - the cat is trying

to eat him! The other man is still on the

table, waiting for when he can jump off

and run!! I hope neither one of them

gets eaten by the cats!

Look - he is trying to get away before the other

cat sees him!

I hope you have enjoyed this posting. 

Thank you and please visit me again!
