Happy New Moon!

Happy New Moon in fiery Aires! 

Time to set you intentions and make some magic.

Today I am forced to be off as my Four Paws Acupuncture Bark Mobile will be going in for a tune up! So no animal acupuncture house calls today.

Fortunately I have stockpiled some beads, crystals, seashells and driftwood and hope to create a few new pieces today with the help of my familiar, Nubi juan Kenobi who loves to lounge in a sunny spot in my sun porch studio.

My line of Faery Bubble Wishing Wands is a big hit here in Salem MA and through the USA! They are available in our online shop. All created with semiprecious stones, crystals and Czech glass. Non-tarnish copper wire with no nickel. All come with a lovely organza silk necklace cord and gift bag. 

A unique gift that you will never find in the muggle mall!

Wishing Bubble Wand with semiprecious Moonstone, Labradorite and Quartz Crystal with Czech Glass Beads.

I love working with moonstone during the new and full moon. Such a yin stone filled with the Divine Feminine energy. Said to balance hormones, aids fertility and boosts psychic abilities. 

Labradorite has become one of my favorite stones to wear daily. Such a dreamy mix of colors. It attracts Angels and Spirit Guides and i am pretty sure Elementals. 

And you can never have enough clear Quartz Crystals!

Happy New Moon! Go Play!

Snow!!!!!!!!

Wooohoo! We finally got a big batch of snow over the weekend. We were at Sandy Point Beach and Plum Island on Saturday afternoon when the first snowflakes started to fall. It was a stunning sight to watch snowflakes over the ocean. And we even saw a Snowy Owl. WOW! Amazing day. My camera phone just could not capture that moment. Then again, you can't photograph magic most of the time. 

Sandy Point Beach

Saturday afternoon, the city of Salem declared their infamous snow emergency with the Blue Light Parking ban in effect. This puts anyone who does not have a driveway into pure panic mode as cars must be removed off the streets or be towed. There is limited parking available at the public garages so it is a race to get a spot before they fill up. Thankfully we now are living in a home that has a driveway so i no longer have panic attacks when i see the blue lights flashing! https://www.salem.com/traffic-and-parking-department/pages/snow-emergency-parking-locations

Our snow turned to ice on Sunday so walking the dog was a challenge. She was not happy about it either therefore these photos are not the best. 

I found some great fluffy yarn at the LifeBridge Thrift Shop in Salem and made some pom poms for my boots. My inner child is loving them!

The bike path has not been plowed yet. Too hard to walk to Collins Cove Beach today!

Celebrating Mabon on Winter Island, Salem MA

Sandy Paws!

Our pup, Quan Yin Kali Wu is loving her new neighborhood. We have been taking her for walks to Collins Cove which is less than 2 blocks from our new home. Seashells, sand and sea air. It is so good to be back in the Witch City.

We have only been here for a week. Still so many boxes to unpack and things to do. Our new shop Whispers of the O'Fae is now up and running. More magical baubles, jewelry and faery related gifts will be added very soon. Please visit our new site at:

Welcome to our blog!

Greetings!

We are in the process of moving back to Salem MA this week. So looking forward to being back in the Witch City after being gone for 6 long muggle-filled years. Feels like 60. It has been challenging living so close to DC and a roller coaster ride living in Alexandria VA. Love the quaint historic feel of Old Town but way too much concrete for this girl.

Yes it has been stressful to say the least and no need to go into that! I am truly grateful for the life lessons learned and the friends made while here. But now it is time to move back to a place we call home, our Island of Misfit Toys. Oh Aunty Em!

How we missed the sea, the magic, our friends, the oh so colorful people who live in Salem and of course Halloween in Salem is the most wonderful time of the year. 

 Collins Cove Beach

This blog will be filled with all things Salem MA. There is so much history in this tiny town. Nathaniel Hawthorne's House of the Seven Gables, the Salem Witch Trials, Pirates, Wizards, Halloween Haunted Happenings, Winter Island, Brunonia Barry, Alice Hoffman and so much more. 

Thank you for being patient during this transition. 

Our online shop Whispers of the O'Fae featuring magical jewelry, art dolls, books, healing pet amulets and faery wands will be closed through 9/13/18 during our move. I am in the process of creating a few more lines of jewelry and wands. Stay tuned!

Best Witches,
