Fall Feelings And The Mummy Cat

Whew, here I am! I don't know what has happened, but lately I have been going so long between posts. I am just so busy between school and work and everything (I just applied for a library job!) Maybe I just need to accept that I am not a post-multiple-times-a-week type of blogger? I want to be, but I maybe I should just aim for once a week. The problem is even though I am not creating posts I am still taking photos of things and then the posts I want to do build up and become overwhelming! Fortunately I have material for several posts (including my birthday which was like two weeks ago) and all of next week off so I will do a bunch of little posts.

A couple days ago the fall spirit just hit me. It is still in the 90s here so fall comes a bit later than for some, but I just all of sudden got into the spirit (it may have had something to do with looking at Halloween stuff on Etsy). I thought it was too bad I couldn't put up my decorations, but then I realized wait a minute it is almost October! Somehow September got away from me a bit. I didn't want to go full Halloween yet, but I did put out some of my Fall decorations on my table.







Yay! Fall/Halloween decorations make me so happy. I cannot wait to put up the rest soon. I especially love the jar candle on the table which I just got and is an amazing spicy fall scent. More updates on decorations as they go up.

And now, for those interested in seeing the infamous mummy cat found under the porch of the house my parents are fixing up, just click the "read more" link below.

Inspiration And Practical Magic

Hello there Practical Magic Party goers! Unfortunately I did not have time to put a more elaborate party post together like I did last year. I just have a had a lot to do and things got away from me a bit. I did put together this Etsy treasury of things inspired by the movie which I would love to own! I hope you enjoy it.

According to the seller, the bath salts were actually created because of this very blog party!

For more parties head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party Page.

Here is the link.

Gypsy Tents And Gypsy Dreams

Hello and welcome to my gypsy dreams!


I bought this card at an art fair when I was much younger. Something about it just spoke to me. I guess I have always had a little gypsy inside.


A storm is brewing....


so please, come into my tent and make yourself comfortable.


Have a look around, I insist!















I see you eyeing my gypsy treasure...


perhaps I will give you a piece when I send you on your way.


I have something all prepared. Can I offer you a spot of tea? It's Russian Caravan, with its rich smokey flavor it is perfect for the gypsy soul.




Milk?


Oh look someone has come to join us (I think more for the milk than for the tea).



Other visitors may stop by as well.


It seems to be growing dark, perhaps we should light some candles.



 That is better.




Would you like me to tell your fortune for you?


I can read your cards....


or see your future in my crystal.


Well it is getting late, you should probably go before you can no longer find your way home. But if you ever feel that wanderlust, or are in need of a bit of magic, please come back.


I will leave a lantern burning for you...


Thanks for dropping by my Gypsy Dreams party! To see the list of other partiers head over to the Gypsy Dreams blog.

<3 Alia
