Belly dancers, belly dancers, and a couple of vikings, peasants etc.




Over the labor day weekend I went to Tribal Brew for my favorite ATS group, Sacred Shimmy. Then on Monday we made our first slightly soggy trip to the Ohio Renaissance Festival!
Our viking/rennie selves had an amazing time, as always,

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 2010!!! - For Really This Time.

Image
Who is this? Lurking above our chamber door? A raven?  "Evermore" croaks he. He has claimed his spot and refuses to leave. I am rather fond of him anyway, so as far as I'm concerned he can stay.  Of Course I keep a broom beside my doorway. Bristles up for protection, like a good witch I must admit that you are a little early for the party. I am still trying to get ready, but you can come inside and look around.  Black vines and fairy lights decorate the banister.  The sun shooting into the chandelier makes a creepy sight, especially with Halloween Buntings in Black and White.  Glitter skulls and spiderweb candle holders sparkle from the mantle.  Herbs, flowers and brooms hanging on the wall waiting for me to use them.  Silver skulls surround a batty candelabra in the center of the table.  Am I ready for the party? Well I have on my stripy Halloween socks.  And my witchy clothes. Is a derby a witch hat? Well it is if a witch is wear...
