Viv's Halloween Swap - Part Two

Here is the adorable hat I received from my swap partner, Cindy. Simple and sweet and I love it!

In the box with the hat were all these awesome goodies. The cute owl stamp, the Halloween decorated box with trinkets inside, a pin cushion and Halloween pins, a vintage spool with Halloween trims, a Halloween tag, a beautiful cross stitched pumpkin ornament, and the fun "Boo" banner.

Yes, she totally spoiled me. Take a closer look at the work Cindy put into this beautiful ornament:

Isn't this pincushion the cutest little thing? Check out those Halloween pins. I have it sitting on top of the vintage spool wrapped in trims.

Thank you Cindy for all my beautiful things!

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
