May the new year bring a renaissance of generosity and kindness ~ alignment of our inner & outer self, an appreciation for beauty in the oft overlooked, friendships deepened, and gratitude spoken aloud & felt within.

As I mentioned on Twitter last night, the news from Paris left me absolutely heart-wrenched. A part of me is always in Paris, and I feel its pain like a phantom limb. May help conquer harm, may love conquer hate.



May each of us strive to be one of the helpers. With open eyes & heart, there is always a need and always a way.

Hallow's Eve may get all the glory, but its dawn can be rather magical too. These two photos are from early this morning ~ capturing the ephemeral change from blush-of-rose to an aurelian glow in a matter of mere moments:





About a week ago, I found my 2015 Halloween pumpkin in Bat Cave (how apropos) and there was a rather adorable ghost which had a note beside it proclaiming, "I'm real!!!"



I feel like the caption to this photo should be, "Me and my pumpkin army, ~that's~ who."



And because any self-respecting kitchen witch should probably be sure to stock "Cauldron Cooked" jam...



May you have a delightfully wicked, spiritually connected, and enchanted Hallowe'en full of good tricks & desired treats <3

What a wonderful surprise to see these fantastic kylecassidy photos of neil-gaiman for Joan of Dark’s new book Geek Knits in which he's wearing her Sherlock inspired scarf & deerstalker (and also stealthily wearing his black cashmere Kambriel overcoat)!

There’s something intrinsically magical about handmade things. Making things by hand can become a kind of meditation, a gentle spell-weaving as thoughts, energies, wishes are stitched into fabric, knit in with yarn. Creations move on to their intended recipients, but a connection remains and years can pass where even the tiniest appearance of a detail or shadowy silhouette is enough to recognize a piece from afar… It’s like an amaranthine pleasure which never fades, seeing something made with care, living its life & being enjoyed. In a world flooded with the mass-produced, it’s important to keep this magic/craft of handmaking treasures, of imbuing pieces with love, care, and perhaps some enchantment, alive & well.
