Woohoo! 9 months ago today i was driving our Kia Soul with 2 cats and a dog in the back, following my husband who was maneuvering a U-Haul with all of our belongings on our way back to Salem MA. It took about 13 hours and OH Aunty Em... there is no place like home!

So apropos that this weekend is the Salem Arts Festival. My muse is so happy to be back in Salem. ... so happy that she urged me to join the Salem Arts Association. 

It is so much easier to create here in Salem than it was in muggle-ville Alexandria VA! Being surrounded by water, magic and a touch of the absurd tonifies my soul. I am so grateful to be back.

Last night was the opening reception of the Salon Des Refuses exhibit. Two of my spirit dolls are happily residing at the gallery surrounded by amazing art. I tried to photograph them but, spirits hate that sort of thing. Maybe my photographer husband can pull off a few decent pics for the website, blog and Facebook page.

Today i will be volunteering at the Salem Arts Association booth in Derby Square near Old Town Hall. It will be great people watching and hope to see some familiar faces and old friends.

We are in the process of changing the name of our online shoppe Whispers of the O'Fae to Practical Magic Salem. Too many folks were complaining that it was confusing and couldn't figure out how to spell O'Fae! Meanwhile, the links are still the same. https://whispersoftheofae.com
