Costume Time!


Finished making my headpiece for my Fae Halloween costume. Hard to photograph! Will take more photos when we are all dolled up tonight and roaming through Salem. Will be wearing a red wig with this crown along with elf ears and a green velvet cape. My husband will be in his usual Gandalf garb. Yes.. we have watched the Lord of the Rings one too many times.




So happy to actually wake up in Salem MA on Halloween.... and even better - we live here. Last year we came to the Witch City to visit for the high holiday. It was then we made the decision to move back by this Halloween. Oh Aunty Em.... there is no place like home and a little magic to get you back. I am grateful. 




Scenes from Halloween 2010 - the last Samhain we lived here before we moved away. 


Happy Halloween Blessed Samhain to All!


Wishing all a very magical and safe Halloween. 
Samhain blessings to all. 

Love the vintage Salem MA postcards!

Meet Our Resident Familiar


Meet Nubi juan Kenobi, my familiar and the snoopervisor of Practical Magic Salem. When we adopted Nubi his real name was Anubis - which is perfect for him since he does think he is a God and a dog. However, we did not really want the  Egyptian God of embalming and the dead roaming through our home we renamed him Nubi juan Kenobi. We adopted Nubi in Salem MA and he has been through 3 moves with us. 

Also known as The Boy, Pope Nubius, King Nubius, Count Poosula and Mr Poosehead depending on the day and his mood! Nubi is 16 and will be turning 17 in December. We share the same birthday. No shock there.



As you can see he has magnificent fangs - which seem to be growing as he ages.



Nubi loves to do yoga and hogs the mat whenever possible.



His new favorite spot is my sun porch studio where he sun bathes and makes sure that everything is running smoothly at Practical Magic Salem. He is so happy to be back in the Witch City where black cats are revered and loved! 

Woooo hooo Witchy Woman...

Amazing Pizza....Aromatherapy in Salem MA


Nothing like the scent of damn good pizza wafting through the air when you are walking the dog. So therapeutic! Who needs essential oils when you have the aromatherapy of pizza and across the street the beach?

If you are visiting Salem MA, or better yet live here- i recommend trying a slice of pizza (or a whole pie) from Amazing Pizza. Tucked into that tiny little house on Webb Street across from Collins Cove. They even have parking. 

This crust and yummo! I love that their food is all organic and natural. The staff is friendly and the owner is a hoot. Best part- we can walk there.
