Coming Soon...

It's a long weekend, Huzzah. And it's the opening weekend of the Ohio Renaissance Festival!! I'm not sure which day, but we are definitely going to make a trip down this weekend. I am having the pleasant problem that with my weight loss my bodices are becoming too big. I am going to do some rigging in the next couple of days to get them to fit like I need them to. I need to invest in new, but I don't want to do that until I reach my final weight, which I haven't yet. I am also going to convert a far too big Chemise into a skirt. I'm going to be busy the next couple of nights getting ready. It's worth it though.This wench is ready to get into the swing.

I think on Saturday I will be bringing my dad's wife, Lesley, into Columbus to take her to some of my favorite local thrift stores. Lesley is awesome and I hope I can help her find some great finds.

Next Saturday is the Gypsy Dreams Blog Party. And it is the day of the birthday party for our niece, Moira. She will be three. That is so scary; it seems like she was just born yesterday. Weird. I am thinking I will make her some mini Renaissance garb. She's a little ginger, and will look so cute. I'm not sure I can handle it.

The next weekend is the Country Living Fair. My little sister, my mom and I will be going on Saturday. It's such a great event. I hope to have some amazing photos to share and some great finds.

Then the next week is the Practical Magic blog party. Which I think is going to be the home to my very first blog giveaway. I'm really excited, and a little nervous. Keep an eye out though.

When I am not doing this stuff, I am working on the Craftster WWP Mabon swap and the Halloween Tin Swap from Bliss Angels. As well as getting ready for Halloween, and such...

Blessings.

I was just reading the comments on Vanessa's last post and wanted to say I was super excited when you mentioned Matt Smith. I love him too, but don't know many other people who watch Doctor Who that I can talk to about how adorable he is!

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho...

Halloween Party with A Fanciful Twist - 2011

I decided once again this year to join Vanessa from A Fanciful Twist in a Halloween Party in blogland. This year though I decided to have an actual Halloween party and post the photos from that. So welcome to my party. Grab a butterbeer ( Killian's Irish red with a shot of butterscotch shnapps) and enjoy. Welcome to our home.  A barrage of bats on our stairway wall.  Your illustrious host. I'm a saloon girl. Could you tell?  The back of me.  Charlene (Goddess), Chelsea and Rachel (Bee) watch me give Bobbi and tarot reading.  Amanda, Mike and Chris...just hanging out.  Charlene and Rachel still watching me do readings... I did a lot of them.  Andrew and Amanda haunting the food tables.  Look at me giving readings.  Our pumpkin chunking platform. Essentially we attack pumpkins with weapons.  Seth lining up a pumpkin for destruction.  Wow... those are some dead pumpkins.  Axes a...
